It was promised that we'd take a second look at Shutter Speed and that, we will do! The exercise on ISO is going to have to wait for now, although we will touch on it just a bit.
First let's look at that waterfall that was promised last week.
Here is the first specimen. This shot was taken at a FAST shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second. Note how you can almost see every single droplet as it falls over the rocks. The fast shutter speeds are what we use to stop movement. Makes sense! (Side Note - the ISO on this photo was 1250. More discussion on that at the bottom of the page)
Now for the second shot below. This shot was taken at a much slower shutter speed of 1/20 of a second. Note the look of the water. It shows more of a flowing feel to the photo. The slower shutter speed allowed for the camera to take a longer shot of the water, thus in essence blurring the look of the water (Side Note - the ISO on this photo was 100)
Which version of this photo is your preference? Which looks most realistic to you? I imagine it's all a matter of preference.
And, now just a moment to address the matter of ISO briefly. When I was taking these pictures, I didn't have my tripod with me, and I wanted to be able to get as far of a range of difference in the photos to make a dramatic difference. NOTE: low number of ISO is made for bright light, allowing the camera to process that bright light efficiently. A high ISO is made for low light or it allowed for the fastest shutter speed I could get in a bright light. We'll discuss ISO more in a future blog.
Now, let's hope that tomorrow slows down a bit and allow for time to compile a proper study on ISO.
