Fast Shutter Speed

Using a fast shutter speed allows you to capture lots of detail in a quick shot. Having a fast shutter speed will give you the capability to get a picture of the quickest thing, for instance a drop of water, and still be able to get the persist moment in time you press the button to take the picture. Without using this setting I would not of been able to get these shots. I selected a speed of around 1/4,000th of a second, as I was capturing something this quick you had to be on the ball to get the perfect picture. There was a lot of trial and error but the odd few were managed to get the drop as it hit the water.

Interesting Framing Techniques

Here are some shots I thought captured interesting angles because of the placement of the main attraction to the pictures. For instance the first picture of the tall chair had a simple style of framing as it was just on the left hand side although because the chair is so big it takes up half of the picture this helped incapsulate the viewers eye onto the purpose of the picture, to capture a portrait. The second photo uses I was particularly fond of as the the crowd slowly gets smaller close to the centre of the picture and the smashed glass is the point of interest. This photo follows the rule of thirds.

Light Graffiti

Light graffiti explores the different shutter speeds of the camera, by using a slower shutter speed this helps capture the exposure in the lighting allowing you to experiment with shapes and other designs in this form. Creating and drawing this distinctive art design technique you only need a light whether its from your phone screen or a torch. It is hard to pin point the design as you follow your minds interpretation so it took a lot of trial and error but the end product was worth it. When taking the picture a tripod was needed so it didn't blur the whole of the picture keeping the still pieces clear.

Shutter Zoom image

Using the DSLR Cannon Camera to capture this unique shooting style, I took pictures of a static object, the statue. This helped to pin point what I was taking a picture of as the image is in focus. It was taken by zooming into the point of interest and taking the picture simultaneously. The camera was set at a speed of 1/25 seconds, and the ISO (image sensitivity) was set to 100 which created the sharp effect on the image. Capturing this effect was the hardest method as you had to get the timing completley right to get the desirted effect.

Slow Shutter Speed

Using this shutter speed it helped capture the movement of the cars as well as blurring even the still buildings because I was not holding the camera completly still, this probably the easiest style of shooting to get right as any picture taken in this way will turn out with the same effect. Seeing as the cars were always moving quite fast it was easy to get the cars blurred.
