1) Take a series of photos showing movement at different shutter speeds, from fast (1/1000 sec) to slow (1 sec). This will capture how shutter speed affects the appearance of motion. 2) Research photographers like Muybridge, Lartigue, Edgerton, and Gersht who explored fast shutter speeds, and Milli, Shaw, and Sugimoto who used slow shutter speeds. Find examples in print media showing interesting shutter speed effects. 3) Experiment with other creative ways to demonstrate long and short exposures, such as photographing people suspended in air or drawing with light trails.
Shutter priority
- 1. Shutter Priority Using the Tv (Time Value) control on your camera (sometimes labelled ‘S’ for shutter). 1. Take a series of at least 4 photographs that record some form of movement. This could be people running ; water being poured ; something waving ; someone jumping…use your imagination to think of unusual ideas. ( tip; best avoid photographing cars and traffic in daylight – it tends to look similar on a photo when stationary and when moving!) Record this movement at different shutter speeds. Set up the shot so that the only variable is the shutter speed… ie. The camera stays in the same position and the action is the same….. Try to have a range of shutter speeds that vary from fast to slow. Depending on the context (outdoors, indoors, night time) this will vary from 1/1000 of a second to an exposure of several seconds. A set of exposures showing movement outside might vary between 1/500 sec. 1/100 sec. 1/15 sec and 1 sec. A set of exposures showing movement indoors might vary between 1/100 sec . 1/30sec. 1/4 sec. and 1sec. 2. Research well known examples by photographers who explore shutter speed , using at least 4 of the following examples. (at least 2 to show fast exposure and 2 to show slow exposure). Edweard Muybridge Henri Lartigue fast exposure Harold Edgerton Ori Gersht Bragaglia and the futurists Gjon Milli slow exposure Jonathan Shaw Sugimoto. Find examples in magazines/ newspapers (not the internet) that show an interesting use of shutter speed and comment on this. 3. Play around with other means of showing long and short shutter speeds - examples include photographing people apparently suspended in mid air above a trampoline, droplets of water from a tap…. drawing with Light trails from mobile phones at night…. Give your creativity full rein over half term.!
