Controlling Motion




In each of the examples above, how are the images affected by shutter speed? How can creative use of shutter and/or camera movement create different impressions of time?

Using shutter priority. To freeze a fast moving subject, shoot with ISO 400 or 800 (depending on light available). For long exposures (drag shutter) and panning shots, shoot with the lowest number ISO available, and perhaps shaded light

Create interesting examples of the following:
  • Freeze a fast moving object with a fast shutter speed, 1/500 second or faster
  • Create the impression of blurred moving object passing across a stationary background with a slower shutter speed (drag shutter). Try 1/30. Make sure camera is as stable as possible, using lens stabilization, if you have it.
  • Try a very long shutter speed to create overall blur.
  • Track a moving subject across a background, with 1/2 to 1 second exposure, creating a PAN shot
