Shutter Speed in photography — Photography podcast #25

August 10, 2007 By 6 Comments

This pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast talks about using shut­ter speed in pho­tog­ra­phy for cre­ative effects. When you want to pho­to­graph some­thing that is mov­ing, you the pho­tog­ra­pher should decide on the shut­ter speed. Don’t let the cam­era decide for you.

The dig­i­tal pho­tographs below were taken at Red Rock Cross­ing in Sedona Ari­zona (ya gotta go — it’s amaz­ing!). You can see that‚the long shut­ter speed (1 sec­ond) has a blur­ring paintery effect in the water, where the fast shut­ter speed (1/500)‚practically freezes the water. You can click the pho­tos to enlarge them.

    Found this pod­cast and I love it! I’m a begin­ning pho­tog­ra­pher and I’m think­ing of attend­ing art school next year, so these pod­casts will be very, very valu­able. Thank you so much!

    Hi Cindy,

    Thanks for the com­pli­ment! Almost all the tips can be used by any SLR, so although I don’t know your cam­era inside and out, you will ben­e­fit from any new tips that are released.

    Thanks again!

    Marko

    Hello Marko; I can­not thank you enough for your insight and infor­ma­tion on pho­tograghy. I,ve only been learn­ing about it for 5 weeks and I could not find any real help till I found your site. Do you have any tips for using the Canon S5IS model cam­era? Thank you again
