Shutter Speed

I enjoyed this photoshoot very much. It allowed me lots of freedom with what I took images of as well as new ways of taking images with slower and faster shutter speeds. As normal, I took lots of images outdoors of nature. This is because i spend many hours of my free time outside, and I love it. In this shoot, I also went downtown to focus on images with lights which was really neat and new to me. By putting leaves on a flowing creek, I was able to capture images like the one you see with a faster shutter speed. Because it is autumn, I took many pictures of the vivid leaves. I of course used the rule of thirds throughout my shoot as well. This assignment made me look for objects in motion. I think of how beautiful running water-if its a sink or a waterfall- would be frozen in time. I would say my weakness in this shoot would be the panning images. I found it difficult to follow an object as it is moving without making the entire image blurry. My strong suit was the freeze motion because I was able to capture things that you may not normally see such as water or a flag frozen in time. I think this shoot is a good learning experience for everyone, so therefore, there is nothing I would want to change about it.
