Understanding Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO


Low Shutter Speed

These two photos show a make for a good example of low shutter speed because both of the subjects are completely blurred with any sort of movement, including the woman who's just walking.


High Shutter Speed

For the high shutter speed examples, I chose a photo of a hummingbird mid flight and a photo of a bullet being shot through several balls of Play-Doh. These provide good examples of using high shutter speed to completely freeze any and all action in a scenario because of the speed at which the subjects were moving when these photos were captured. For instance, hummingbirds flap their wings 10-15 times per second, a speed which the human eye would perceive as a blur. However, using a high enough shutter speed, you're able to capture these wings as though they weren't moving at all.



Low Aperture

These photos demonstrate low aperture because the only thing in focus is the subject.



High ISO

In these pictures the area surrounding the subject is quite noisy and everything looks very bright


Low ISO

In these two images, the area surrounding the subject are much clearer and quieter, however the images aren't quite as bright.
