Assignment 4

Creative Shutter Speed

Practice using Shutter Priority mode (Tv or S) on your camera to control shutter speed.

Motion capture

Choose at least 3 moving subjects–water, ball rolling, object falling, animal, person, plant in the wind, etc. Try a photo at slow (use tripod if you can), medium and fast shutter speeds. Use the chart below from Camera Exposure: Aperture, ISO & Shutter Speed to help you assess what shutter speed you will need to create the effect you are looking for.

Creative effects (optional)

Try using shutter speed to create other effects besides capturing motion. See Using Camera Shutter Speed Creatively for tips and suggestions.

If you are able to create an interesting effect in these photos you may add a few to your slideshow—use captions to describe your technique and or subject.

Lightroom Catalogue

In addition, you should be adding all your photos to your Lightroom catalogue. This will allow you to make changes to your photos and export jpg from the raw format you should be using when you create your photos.  See Workflow—Import, Organize, Edit/Develop, Export, Publish for tips and suggestions.
