Assignment 4 – SarahS
This was just me trying to play around with the shutter speed on my camera. I used a Canon T3i Rebel, I think my slowest shutter speed was around 1/8 and my fastest was 1/60. I tried to find a lighter to use as a prop as well, but somehow all the ones in my apartment have disappeared!

Playing around with time and light 🙂

These first photos were taken last spring. I was not able to get out and take as many photos as I would have liked this past week, due to getting over a cold. But these were taken at my high school softball team’s game last spring, and I was practicing trying to capture them in action. Looking back at these photos now, I see that I could have focused on choosing the shutter speed I wanted myself, and not just relying on the “Sport” mode on the camera.
I took these next photos of a glass full of water and had my friend drop objects into the water to create a splash. It was difficult to be able to capture the water in the air and have the camera focus on it correctly.
These last photos did not turn out as well as I had hoped. I put a ball of string lights on the ground and set my camera to a long shutter speed, and as the camera was taking the photo I zoomed my lens out to try to create a streaking effect.

Taken with a smartphone (Google Pixel 2) which has limited shutter speed controls. I tried my best to get some motion shots to test the auto shutter speed of my camera, and also played with exposure levels.

These shots are taken with fixed presets and only adjusting the shutter speed. It was interesting the different colors I could get while adjusting only the shutter speed. I like the texture I was able to get in the reflection of the lights int he first few photos, it was a foggy night and made for a really cool image.

For this first set I grabbed red, blue, and green food coloring and a white measuring cup to experiment with the colored drops and various shutter speeds. I think my favorite effect is the exact moment it hits the water as well as a few seconds after when it sinks and creates a colored streak down to the bottom of the cup.
I went home this past weekend and while my dad was splitting up some wood I tried to capture the various bits of motion through fast and slower shutter speeds.
For this last set, I wanted to focus on fire. As you can tell, the first two photo’s shutter speeds didn’t changed the look very much, but as soon as I bumped the shutter speed to 1 second the fire begins to blend and has a very cool effect as it wraps around the metal. The last photo was just an experimental photo where Claudio quickly released lighter fluid on his hand and then lit it. I didn’t have the settings totally right for this so I ended up playing around with various color temps and contrast levels to create something that was clearly edited but had a different feel.

I struggled a bit with this assignment. Nothing was coming out as I wished. Three of the photos here I believe fulfill the assignment and the other two I just liked.
Revision (5/1/18)
I wanted to add these pictures to demonstrate how shutter speed can capture moving objects. The first frame is, unfortunately, the communal sink on my floor in Aroostook Hall. It is very gross, but the high shutter speed was able to capture every drop. The second photo of my friend Jacob; I needed a moving subject and he happened to be working on his handstands. The first picture of him demonstrates how shutter speed can capture an action shot. The second photo was of another attempt with a slower shutter speed. I liked it because the camera reveals the impact of gravity on a falling body. The final photo is another shot of water. The camera was able to capture every bead and makes them look like jewels.

Taken in Acadian National Park. This was a small stream we found off one of the trails to Witch Hole Pond.
