Shutter Speed Part I (stop motion)

Shutter Speed
The first part of the shutter speed assignment works with fast shutter speed.
You are going to take photographs of people jumping!
You should work in TV mode (automatic, but allows you to change the shutter speed and control stopped motion while the camera calculates the exposure with the aperture.)
This is Shutter Priority Mode, you control what the shutter speed is while the camera adjusts the aperture to help you achieve that BASE GRAY exposure!
If your images are coming out dark, you should increase the ISO!
This is obvious becasue the F stop (Aperture number) will blink on and off warning you it is too underexposed.
Watch your focus if your subject is moving back to front.... it will take a few attempts to get it right
You should alternate between all five shutter speeds....
1/125
1/250
1/500
1/1000
1/2000
Depending on how fast your subject is jumping the lower shutter speeds may not "STOP MOTION!)
BE sure to "bracket" your exposures so that you have the opportunity to stop motion!
(If you were shooting in digital you'd notice that your pic may look wrong, and you could adjust this, but in shooting film, you will not see the good or bad effects, so you need to think about what you're "doing" so remember the example in class and how I worked with the subject to shoot the five photos of each person.)
If your photo is too bright, turn your ISO down... (your camera will adjust the aperture until it runs out of options)
If your photo is too dark (or the aperture blinks, turn your ISO up- higher number)
The scroll you used to change your aperture is the same scroll you use to change your shutter speed.
MAKE SURE YOUR CAMERA IS ON TV (or S for Nikon) MODE! NOT AV, AUTO or M
If you need ideas, google "jumping photographs"
Philippe Halsman is a fun photographer who did a series in the 1940s with famous people that were totally fun!
