I have experimented taking photographs with varying shutter speeds.  I took them at 1/250, 1/100, 1/25, 0″3, 1″, 2″, 4″.  The faster speeds didn’t let as much light in due to the speed of the shutter so therefore the photograph looked quite dark.  At about 1/25, the light was well balanced and the moving person is visible enough to see levels of detail.  At a shutter speed 4″, the shutter is so slow, the moving person looks almost out the photograph because he moved out of shot before the lens captured the moment.

I believe that the shoot went well as I highlighted how the varying shutter speeds can affect the movement of a photograph.  However I believe it could of gone better by including a wider range of speeds.

My favorite photograph is below.  I incorporated the rule of thirds  to allow the viewer to focus on the moving person.  Also I took this photograph at a shutter speed at 2″.   I believe I have almost captured a ghost – like figure through the blurred movement.  The high exposure creates exaggerates this movement giving a feeling of dizziness.

This is my edited version inspired by Francesca Woodman and her work.  Here I adjusted the contrast to enhance the darker shades of the moving person.
