Shutter speed

 A shutter speed is how quickly the shutter on a camera opens and closes to take the photo. This can be used in many ways but generally the higher the shutter speed (1/1000) the clearer the image. And the lower it is (4’) the more blur there is.

Pros 

Cons 

Fast motion action and be captured clearly with a high shutter speed.

If the shutter is a little low the photo can be slightly blurry but the photographer my not realise until post production 

Light writing is created through a low shutter speed, as well as other effects. 

The higher the shutter speed the less light is let into the lens, therefore if its too dark the shutter cant be as high.

This can be adjusted depending on movement and light to the right settings 

Some cameras may change shutter speed at the same time as exposure decreasing light as the shutter speed increases 



Firstly, there is a girl standing outside in the night time there are a few buildings lay in the background and she seems to have a shadow or an almost second self to the viewer while looking to the audiences' right in the position of a candid captured moment. When taking this I ensured that the DSLR camera was in line with her, making sure that she was in the centre of the frame for the mid shot. I also asked her to stand under a street lamp as well as using the extra light source of a flash on the camera. I then went to the night mode on the camera with preset settings and allowed the shutter speed to be two seconds long creating the second shadow effect of the girl, as the second shadow is looking at the camera in a different position to the girl physically more visible, it seems as though she has two expressions or possibly two things going on at the same time in her mind, this allows for the viewers imagination to be involved and interpret the image how they wish.


 This photo was clearly taken by a bouncy castle at an event when taking these photos we had a multitude of different models be willing to try different tricks however, when learning quickly that although  Some stunts may look very impressive in person- when taken on camera as a one frame snapshot it may be harder for the viewer to understand what the stunt was intending to be. Therefore after a trial and error process we eventually worked out how to instruct the models to perform a backflip in a way the camera could pick up while still noting to the audience what the action of motion was. Resulting in the photo having a clear foreground and background capturing all the detail, as well as the subject having a bright white clothing item therefore being the main focus point and drawing the attention of the viewer into the centre of the match on action frame shot. to take this, I stood a few meters away and adjusted the zoom and aperture so that the edges of the bouncy castle matched the frame edges.


 This image has a guy playing volleyball, with the ball mid air and him supposedly jumping the net is also visible with somebody on the other side attempting to block the ball, the blue sky and only partial clouds indicate a sunny day and the trees full of leaves indicate to the viewer that is probably somewhere in the summer as well as the smaller detail of the fact that  both people visible in the frame are in short sleeve T-shirts. When taking this I was safely on the sideline of the game while looking up and using my DSLR camera in the sports mode function while frequently re adjusting the focus point and aperture in order to keep everyone clearly seen in the photos. Before starting to take the photos I changed the shutter speed to a very fast point of 1 / 400 or 1 / 600 when the sun was brighter. The high amount of daylight allowed me to have a fast shutter speed while still being able to clearly see the photo. this photo was taken mid spike and clear to the viewer that the move was very powerful. by me crouching on the ground the effect of the person on the right jumping makes them seem much higher and therefore the skill at a much higher level very possibly increasing the adoration from the viewers perspective.

Triptych

Image
  This photography style includes three consecutive   images   that together create a story board of events. One photo may not make as much much sense as when it is put with the rest to finish the story.  Pros  Cons  The possibilities increases from one snap shot to three, meaning its easier to show the movement of a subject.  If the photographer isn’t careful then viewers may be confused at the actions between the images and not put together the motion so well. Viewers can admire the media pieces for longer and have more to denote.  Some may feel limited to only three images.  To show different elements to the same subject. If separated, one photo may not make sense.  These three images when placed together in the correct chronological order create a story. The first part of this story shows 2 girls in a conversation with neither of them looking too happy, the girl on the right is seemingly talking while the girl on the left seems to be...

Digitally manipulated

Image
  Not all photos come out as planned, this is where digital postproduction manipulation takes place. This process means that an editor makes changes to the images as the final product to make the image appear differently   Pros  Cons  If something goes wrong with the photo it can be fixed.  Changing one thing may effect the rest, like brightening the image may appear pixelated. Editing can make the photo prettier and more appealing to those viewing  If caught some audience members can be angry and unpleased  If the location of shooting was limited, some people may never know. The morph of reality to gaslight others may come around to make other things seem fake  This first edit is of two girls lying down on the grass this photo was taken during sunset in the middle of a field, therefore there is not much light and needed an extended shutter speed. Both girls are looking directly into the camera with the edited version showing one girl standing out...

Event photography

Image
  The use of high-quality images during an event is to capture the importance of the occasion and the business of the activities. To fulfil  a number of  requirements like remembering the  memories, or  getting natural moments in candid photos of movements.  Pros  Cons  Photographers don’t need to instruct anyone on what to do as subjects are already taking part  Not all attendants will want to be photographed. There is often multiple things happening at once making images more interesting  If in a dark room, then lighting can be an issue. If there is lots of subjects, then it can be quick and easy to continuously find things to photograph.  It is easy to miss a good moment on film and not have another chance.  This first image shows a girl looking up with party lights all around her surrounded by multiple different people, the audience can tell that this is a party from the context clues and the multitude of others around the ...
