This document discusses experimenting with different shutter speeds and their effects. It includes several images taken with fast shutter speeds between 1/250 and 1/4000 that froze motion, making water seem still and a person appear to be floating. Slower shutter speeds of 4 to 10 seconds blurred motion, showing how shutter speed can capture or blur movement when photographing different subjects.

1. Experimenting with
Shutter Speeds
By George Roberts

2. Shutter Speed: 1/250
This image was taken with a fast shutter speed, this allows the flowing water to be still in the shot.

3. Shutter Speed: 1/1000
This shot was taken with a fast shutter speed, allowing Sam to be seeminglt floating as he
jumps off the wall.

4. Shutter Speed: 1/4000
This shot is of a sparking lighter and was taken with the fastest possible speed for the DSLR.

5. Here is a shot of a stone landing in a puddle. I like how the water globbulets are splashing up and how the
camera could capture them at the exact moment due to the shutter speed.
Shutter Speed: 1/1250

6. Shutter Speed: 1/500
Here is a shot of a ping-pong paddle landing on a table. The fast shutter speed allowed
the movement to be captured.

7. Shutter Speed: 10”

8. Shutter Speed: 8”

9. Shutter Speed: 6”

10. Shutter Speed: 5”

11. Shutter Speed: 4”
