Shutter speed Evaluation


Shutter speeds effect how clear the image is depending on the thing in the image. E.g. if it is a person running it should be at about 250 but if it’s a bike it should be 600. You would use a fast shutter speed to take a picture of a fast moving object like a car. Where as if it was a slow shutter speed it would be a person walking or jumping. Shutter speeds are very important for making sure that the picture is not distorted and is clear.

The problems the image could have would be because the objects are moving, it can be very hard to keep focus of the picture. If the camera is not in focus this will make the picture blurry and hard to see. Also because they are moving it is important to check the images after to see if you need to take some more. Finding the problems in the pictures is essential to you can correct them straight away.

One issue could be underexposure; this is when not enough light comes in through the camera lenses. This can cause problems because the sun could be to bright and you cannot focus on a specific point but it could also be too dark. This could happen when using a very short shutter speed; there was not enough time for an adequate amount of light to get through to the picture. Although the speed has to be shorter to correctly capture the movement in the image, a balance of the aperture and the shutter speed helps this balance be perfect as you can change the amount of light the camera lets through. Also letting the sun come in a certain angle can change how light or dark the picture is.

Also to solve these problems you could retake the image as a slower shutter speed but at the same time this may not work; simply because it might then be to slow to catch the thing in motion. You could retake the picture at a different time of day so that the light could either hit behind or even in front of the person. You could even increase the IOS speed on the camera so it makes it more focused.

Another problem you could have would be poor framing this is when the hands are cut of or body parts are missing or even that the subject is too far away so you cannot tell it is a frame shot. To solve this problem there are many different ways you could do it. For example you should review your image straight away after so that if it hasn’t worked everyone is still in same place and you can move them a little so you can get a better photo. The cause could have been you were taking it to quickly; you should just take your time and take the picture when you think it is in the perfect place. If the person is moving take several shots in a row so you have a lot more to choose from. 



This picture i think worked really well, i put this at- 1/500 because he was moving quiet fast and this meant if it was any lower it would not have worked. i choose this shutter speed so it was not blurry and caught the picture at the right time. i used manual focus so i could make sure it was a clear picture although it is harder than using automatic it can sometimes make a better picture.
















In design


This is my indesign work i made lots of different column and added boxes to put my pictures in. to place my pictures i first saved them and the went to file place and then it let me choose the image of my choice i also decided to fit the text around the image by going around the image and getting it into different shapes so i can design around that. i picked a suitable font and i actually edited the picture of the rose with the ring original the ring and the rose where two separate pictures but on photoshop i put them together.
