Shutter Speed

Fast Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which will be next month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth- 250 to 350
b.) the food eating contest- 200 to275
c.) the rock climbing wall- 250 to 350
d.) someone working at a booth- 250 to 300
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- 250 to 350
f.) the Diamonds performance- 250 to 350

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
a.) the dunking booth- 150-200
b.) the food eating contest- 150-200
c.) the rock climbing wall- 150-200
d.) someone working at a booth- 150-200
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- 150-200
f.) the Diamonds performance- 150-200
2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
Aperture- Makes a certain area of the photo sharper than the others.
ISO- Helps obtain the correct amount of exposure.
3. With the camera near you, what are the shutter speeds available to you on that camera? You will have to turn the camera on to determine this - hopefully you can figure out what setting to put the camera on to determine the answer to this question. 1/4000 to 1/60 sec., X-sync at 1/200 sec. 1/4000 to 30 sec., Bulb (Total shutter speed range. Available range varies by shooting mode.) Settable in 1/3- or 1/2-stop increments.
