Shutter Speed assignment

              
                                         


We have practiced slow and fast shutter speed, and have seen many effects we can achieve through slowing it down and speeding it up.

You must INDEPENDENTLY come up with your own unique creative way to demonstrate your knowledge of shutter speed and how it can alter the concept and ways your image is viewed.

Objective: To demonstrate knowledge of shutter speed and the effects it can have on the portrayal of subjects in images.

It is required that you have five final photos displaying slow or fast shutter speed effects creatively.  Be original and choose one theme to shoot.  Are you portraying movement? Trying to freeze time? Is there a concept that your shutter speed setting will help convey?

Example: My theme is a tea party.  I will show fake china falling into place on a table and capture the tea being poured into a tea cup.

• Perfect exposure with no blur or intentional blur
