Digital Photography - Qp2

Shutter speed is all about light.

Shutter speed is the amount of time that a digital camera’s shutter remains closed when taking a photograph.

Shutter speed is one of four basic functions in your camera for controlling light, along with aperture and film speed or ISO.

A fast shutter speed is anything over ______ of a second and a slow shutter speed is anything below this.

A general rule of thumb is that a handheld digital camera with a 50mm lens, should be set at speeds no slower than 1/50th of a second.

Digital Photography is a combination of science, skill, a good eye for composition and lots of practice. 

Slow shutter speeds are used when there is a lot of fast motion, such as when shooting sporting events.

______ shutters aren’t used very often in modern digital cameras.

To create a blur in the foreground but keeping your background object sharp, you can employ a technique called panning.

The aperture is controlled by something called the S-stop number.

The main purpose of using the shutter priority mode is to have a faster shutter speed enabling you to freeze the action and photograph fast moving objects, or to have a slow shutter speed to blur moving objects in order to create a sense of motion.

The ISO rating was a measurement of how sensitive the film was to light.

Digital speckling is a noise affect that can ruin an otherwise perfect shot.
