Exploring motion with shutter speed

The setting on the camera which controls how motion is captured is shutter speed .

The longest the Nikon D3300’s shutter stays open is30 seconds .

The shortest duration the Nikon D3300’s shutter stays open is 4000

When we used a slow shutter speed, we had to use a tripod because no one can possibly hold a camera steady for that length of time without moving the camera.

In the situation where we intentionally wanted to use a slow shutter speed, we had to use an ISO of 1

00 and the smallest aperture of f22 and even higher. This forced the camera to allow a shutter speed of at least 1 second. The longer shutter speed allowed us to convey GAOST images which was an interesting effect especially when combined with a person who is standing very still in the picture. My favorite picture from that situation is …(Insert the picture) Include the exposure information with the picture e

xample ISO 100 f22 2 seconds. If we want to get in the picture as well, we can set the camera to a delay by using the self timer

Movement of the camera isn’t always a bad thing like the example of panning. In the picture where we photographed someone riding a bicycle to convey motion, we used a shutter speed of 1/30 and an aperture of F22 and the ISO was 100 .

My favorite picture from this assignment is shown

On the other extreme end of shortest duration that the camera shutter stays open, we used 1/6 high shutter speeds or fractions of a second. In the water balloon bursting picture, we used ISO 800 aperture of F22 and shutter speed of 1/4000sec

To capture splashing water, we also used high shutter speeds. Here are my favorite pictures of high shutter speeds.
