Shutter speeds

Today we have a look at 3 different shutter speeds. A very slow to a faster shutter speed. I took 3 pictures to demonstrate. I also took some screenshots to show the editing process.

First picture was taken with 1/8th of a second.

You can see the bus was moving faster than the shutter speed but the people in the bus stop they didn't move at all.

I took this picture in raw mode so when I edited with photoshop.

I had to do the settings. I added a bit of temperature for the color.

Changed the levels a bit. Changed the blacks for 15. Left everything else as it was.

I've changed the curves  so lighten the black a little bit.

The last thing I've done was flatten the image and saved with 72pixels resolution as a jpeg.

The next picture was taken on 1/30th of a second. So the cyclist was still faster thats why the movement not frozen properly.

Shot in raw again. Modified the temperature and a bit of exposure.

Changed the levels.

I changed the blacks on the curves and also changed the reds. Lighten the reds a bit.

Flatten the image and saved with 72 pixels.

The last photo was shot on 1/250th of a second. It was enough to freeze the action. 

Blur: The last picture I took is to show the panning technique. Slow shutter speed and follow the object with your camera. It will blur the background but the object will be sharper.

I took the picture with 1/8th of a second and just followed the car. Background blurred.

In raw I changed the clarity and the exposure. After that changed the curves as you can see on the screenshots.

Open flash:

I took this picture with flash and slow shutter speed while I was moving the camera. And also I 've set up the camera to flash on the 2nd curtain so the flash goes off before the shutter closes.
