Shutter Speed Experiment 2

With this photo I have the shutter speed 1:6 and it allows as much light as possible to be captured and what we did was got a skipping rope with lights in it and span it around to create a spiral circle pattern.

This second picture was taking on the shutter speed 1:6 and allowed him to circle a LED light to create a circular pattern by spinning the light

The shutter speed used in this 3rd image was 1:6 and it allowed the effect of movement on the persons arms as they moved them up and down and created the effect of 'wings'.

Photographic post production work

 This is the first imagine this had auto tone, contrast and colour.

 This image has the brightness and contrast of it enhanced

used burn and dodge tool we used the dodge tool to brighten up the image and the burn tool has given it more definition.

used cross processing tools. I changed the colour red, blue and green on the image and the RGB and made a colour negative effect.

Shutter Speeds photos

The first photo is motion blur this is used to show the actual movement in a picture these normally occur at 1:30 sec. The second picture hasn't allowed enough light in this picture is at a too high shutter speed. The motion blur in the third picture is at 1/2000 and this is for cars/bikes moving at under 30 mph. The final picture shows the movement of the leaves falling down and has a perfect shutter speed so it hasn't gone too dark or is too light.

Composition photos

Composition in photography is the placement of things and objects in the shot that adds effect to the shot. The first image adds a frame within a frame, the second one gives her a high eye line which gives her a more over powering persona, the third image she has a lower eye line which gives her a more weak persona, the final image uses the line of the top of the bench to direct you toward the centre of the image and the main focal point.
