Shutter Speeds

Here are some shutter speed examples:

The first, Panning with a moving bus with a relatively long exposure time. It's light out so relative to dark situations it might not look like a very long exposure time but for the amount of light it is.


F16 (narrow as possible)
1/8s exposure time


Same conditions. I want to freeze this nice car and I opened up the aperture to let in more light. As well, the background is not as sharp because of the large aperture.



F 2.8
1/320 exposure time.







Here is an example with a human being. The fast action photo with a short time turns out much better than the longer exposure time. In fact the highlights get overblown (bright day) and he still moved so fast you cannot tell what the subject is.
