I know, i don't know what I was thinking, but in an effort to come up with more regular blog posts..... I volunteered for homework. Okay, I guess it's not really homework if no-one is grading it and there isn't a real due date, but still.
So here's how it's working. A good friend of mine is taking journalism and as one of her courses she has various photography assignments. So, I'm doing the same assignments and posting them on this here blog thing. So here we go.
Assignment #1 - shutter speed.
The assignment (or my interpretation of it anyway) was to take two pictures. one with a fast shutter speed, which catches objects in motion and essentially 'freezes' them. The second pictures is a slow shutter speed that also can be used for objects in motion however it creates the blurry motion that you see in a lot of pictures. Like waterfalls with the soft looking water or lights of cars at night that stream across the photo.
Part 1 - Fast shutter speed
1/1250 second shutter speed
I like taking pictures of water this way because it just catches each drop. Waterfalls are constantly changing and you never get the same shot twice.
Part 2 - Slow shutter speed.
1 second
1/2 second
These were both taken on the car-show weekend in Lethbridge. I like them both for different reasons.quite often, when you see lights streaked across the photo it's because of a slow shutter speed at night, with a tripod which results in streaked, but straight lines. The first photo is takein without a tripod and as a result the lines are wavy. You can kindof make out the image, and the lighting I think is cool.
The second picture, I like because of the clarity of the lettering on the ambulance and all that is going on around it. Also, taken without a tripod with slow shutter speed.
So there you have it.... assignment # 1 done. Feel free to comment, review, critisize or whatever.
