Shutter Speed & Aperture Photography

The document discusses different photography techniques used to capture motion. It explains using fast shutter speeds to freeze motion, slow shutter speeds to blur motion while keeping backgrounds clear, and very slow shutter speeds to allow zooming while exposing. The photographer used Canon cameras with shutter speeds ranging from 1/10 to 1/4000 of a second and different aperture settings to achieve focused subjects with blurred backgrounds or vice versa. The goal was to illustrate four types of action shots: stop, pan, blurred, and zoom.

freeze the action but blur the background.

Photos were taken using a slow


shutter speed to blur the action
while the background is clear. You
need to hold the camera still

Using a slow shutter, it gives you enough time to
rotate the zoom lens while you take the exposure.

I shot all of these photos using a canon camera. I used different shutters to pho-
tograph four major types of action shots: stop, pan, blurred, and zoom. The
range of shutter speed I used goes from 1/10 seconds to 1/4000 of a second.
With different shutter and aperture-priority settings I took multiple exposures
and chose the best of the photos for this project.

In these four photos, either a smaller or larger aperture is used to achieve


these first objects in focus while the background is blurry. To create the blurry
effect, you need a smaller aperture. So achieve al the objects in focus, you
need a larger aperture.

These photos were taken using different aperture settings to make the depth of
field larger or smaller.
