Shutter speed is the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure, the amount of light the camera takes in, and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure .The faster the shutter is set, the better your chance to snap a great action shot and get it looking clear. However, the faster the shutter is set, the less light will come in.
For Example
Photo -games
In the photoshoot, we explored the shutter speed by playing a boxing game. Capturing boxing actions, changing and playing around with the shutter speed . Some created sharp photographs some created blurry images, due to the use of the shutter speed, the amount of light being let into the camera.
Ball games
Here are our attempts to recreating John Baldessaris work, by throwing 3 balls into the air and capturing them on a low shutter speed to capture a sharp image.
