Using Shutter Speed Effectively
Most new digital photography beginners to use their camera automatically. Is it because they can not do better or just easier, keeping it on automatic? Perhaps it is a combination of both. But the efficient use of shutter speed can significantly improve your images. Here’s how.
Sometimes he is too afraid to take the auto and set it on a television set tv sets the shutter speed and is equivalent to the time value as a contrast that sets the other, which is the aperture value Av. The problem that most of us is at the start that if we are to change from the automatic, we’re going to miss or chaos that important photos can be restored. There is no simple answer. Practice. Do not use the switch when you are ready to take the time to practice.
So, what is the shutter speed? It is a simple answer. This is the time to open the shutter when you press the shutter button.
1. Shutter speed is measured in seconds
That is true, but most of the time we turn in fractions of seconds eg 1/250th, 1/100th, even as low as 1/30th of a second. The higher the number, the shorter the time it is opened. 1/1000th is open less than 1/60th of a second.
2. The slow shutter speeds, you need a tripod
If you shoot a little less than 1/60th of a second, you probably need a tripod or rack as leaning against a wall or pole. A sack of beans on something is a good alternative to a tripod.
3. Use Your goal as a guide
What I mean is that if you use a 100mm lens or 100 mm from the end of a zoom, use it as a guide to shutter speed ie 1/100th of a second, would a lower speed, you can when shooting with a 100mm lens .
4. Freezing movement
To freeze the motion of the images, you need a fast shutter speed like 1/250th, 1/500th, or 1/1000th of a second. The speed at which you choose will be determined by the speed of action. An athlete may be slower than, for example, a motorcycle racer.
5. Blurring an image
Sometimes you want to deliberately blur an image to create the effect of speed. This movement is in contrast to the freezing so you must use a shutter speed below 1/60th of a second. This allows the subject through the image, travel, and the shutter is open. Topics faster creates more uncertainty. The key is to experiment here with the theme you want to record.
6. Shooting in low light
When illuminated images in low light or taking pictures of buildings, you must reduce your shutter button down fully to major. Most of the time will be a few seconds of footage and the need for the B-frame, or lamp that you always use the shutter open until you get rid of.
Note that you can not change the shutter speed in isolation for other parameters such as aperture and ISO. The great thing about the TV set is that if you change the shutter speed, the camera automatically sets the correct aperture for you. In most cases this works, but you have to understand that when the light is low, and a faster speed, it can not be an opening large enough parameters to allow enough light. You may need to use the compromise and a slower shutter speed setting to capture the photo.
There are limits, but in practice you will learn what works and what does not. Experience to experience as much as possible, the shutter speed setting, to take advantage of an important event. The efficient use of shutter speed, you will greatly improve your photography. Good shot.
