Edits from Shutter Speed Shoot
After experimenting with different shoots and positions while using a slow or fast shutter speed, I edited some of the shots.
While using the fast shutter speed, we tried to get the perfect image with the person in the center of the frame in a still shot. We repeated the process many times until we where happy with our results.
We also experimented with a zoom blur. This is when you use a slow shutter speed, and as you take the photo, you quickly either zoom in or zoom out. This creates a cool effect that looks like a tunnel leading away from the center of the image.

Slow Shutter Speed Edits
Here are some of the edits of the images that we took while using a slow shutter speed.
Shutter Speed Experimentation
In photography, shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera’s shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time.
If the shutter speed is fast, it can help to freeze action completely. If the shutter speed is slow, it can create an effect called “motion blur”, where moving objects appear blurred along the direction of the motion.
Depending on the speed of the shutter , it can effect how exposed the image is. If the speed of the shutter is low, about 3 seconds then, the image is going to be over exposed because a lot of light is getting into the camera. If the speed of the shutter is high, about 1/60 of a second , then the image is going to have a low exposure.
The image above is the display shown on the camera when on the shutter speed setting. The TV sign in the top left corner stands for Time Value. The number next to it shows the speed of the shutter.
Color Splash Edits- Using Environmental Portraits
Edited Original
Here is the Original and the Edited version of one of my Environmental Portraits. We did a method called Color Splash. This is when we changed the saturation of the image by making it black and white. We then used a small brush to highlight the areas of the image that we wanted to go back to color. I made the image brighter and added more contrast.
