Photo Club Meeting #1 - Shutter Speed

For our first shoot we hit the skatepark

to work on shutterspeed.

A little explanation of shutter speed:
Shutter speed is what we use to show motion.
A higher ss will freeze the motion 
(see the kid jumping in the below pic)
and a slower ss
will blur/show the motion
(see last pic).

The Pioneer Woman says:
*The LONGER the shutter stays open, the MORE light enters the camera.
* The SHORTER the amount of time the shutter is open, the LESS light enters the camera. 

If you would like to learn more about shutter speed

you can read here and here 

(the last one is my very favorite photography blog!).

 

I can't say that I got alot of shots with an emphasis on

the ss but, I did get some fun shots.

These were all shot with my canon 40d 28-105mm 3.5-4.5.
