SHUTTER SPEED: creative controlFORM & CONTENT
Shutter Speed in a digital camera refers to the length of time that light is permitted to enter the camera and strike the sensor. Your shutter speed is one of two controls your camera has over the amount of light that reaches the sensor._________________________________
shutter speed settings are recorded in seconds or fractions of a second : 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8 etc
shutter speeds available to you on your camera will double (approximately) the amount of light coming into the camera with each setting (example: 1/250 lets in twice as much light as 1/500)
the bigger the dominator the faster the speed (example: 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30)
In addition to controlling exposure, the shutter speed is the most important control you have over how motion is captured
in a photograph.
faster shutter speed = shorter duration of exposure = less light reaches the sensor =
FREEZING MOTION
In addition to controlling exposure, the shutter speed is the most important control you have over how motion is captured
in a photograph.
slow shutter speed = longer duration of exposure = more light reaches the sensor =
THE MORE A MOVING SUBJECT WILL BE BLURRED

SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
Motion that goes horizontally across the camera’s frame blurs more quickly than motion that is coming towards or away from the camera.
SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
Zooming a lens during a slow shutter speed and create strange effects.

SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
Moving the body of you camera during long exposures can create strange effects.
SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
With slower shutter speeds you can…….
LIGHT PAINT
Using any handheld light source: sparklers, cell phones, flashlights, Christmas lights, laser lights, or glow sticks.
SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
With slower shutter speeds you can…….
CREATE STARRING
When you are photographing a radiant light source (such as a street lamp) you can create a starring effect. This starring effect changes when you use different lens.
SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
With slower shutter speeds you can…….
PANNING
During the exposure, the photographer moved the camera in the same direction that the diver was moving, hence the streaky background and the in focus diver.
SLOW SHUTTER SPEEDS
With slower shutter speeds you can…….
MAKE GHOST FIGURES
During the exposure a figure walked in front of the camera, creating the effect of a “ghost’ figure.
FAST SHUTTER SPEEDS
1/8000: The fastest speed available in full frame DSLR cameras and is used to take sharp photographs of very fast subjects under good lighting conditions.
FORM = CONTENT
refers to the work’s physical characteristics and how the elements of design are implemented
refers to the work’s essence- what the artist is trying to communicate
to the viewer
FORM = CONTENT
Motion creates meaning.Motion accentuates meaning.

HIROSHI SUGIMOTO
“The question-and-answer session that led up to this vision went something like this: Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame? And the answer: You get a shining screen. Immediately I sprang into action, experimenting toward realizing this vision. Dressed up as a tourist, I walked into a cheap cinema in the East Village with a large-format camera. As soon as the movie started, I fixed the shutter at a wide-open aperture, and two hours later when the movie finished, I clicked the shutter closed. That evening, I developed the film, and the vision exploded behind my eyes. “
