Description: In this series, I tried to demonstrate the effects of shutter speed on a moving object. With a higher shutter speed, the object appears to be moving more slowly because the image is captured faster.
Shutter speed: 1/8
Shutter speed: 1/20
Shutter speed: 1/50
Shutter speed: 1/8
Aperture
Description: I tried to show how a smaller aperture leads to a smaller depth of field. A smaller aperture also results in a brighter picture, since the lens opening is bigger and can therefore take in more light. My camera went from f3.4 to f8.0, so the discrepancies between the images may not be clear. Rest assured that the aperture was being changed.
Aperture: f3.4
Aperture: f5.0
Aperture: f6.3
Aperture: f8.0
Final Questions
1. A faster shutter speed leads to a less exposed (darker) picture and a sharper motion shot. 2. A slow shutter speed leads to a more exposed (brighter) picture and a blurry motion shot. 3. A large aperture leads to a more exposed picture and a smaller depth of field in which there is usually a single focal point. 3. A small aperture leads to a less exposed picture and a larger depth of field in which there are many focal points.
