Using Shutter Speeds to Control Motion
1. Vocabulary
For this vocabulary exercise you will be breaking into groups of 5. Each student will be selecting on of the following terms to create a Verbal Visual Word Association(VVWA).
Once you have completed your card share out with your group so that you all have a good understanding of all of the words. These vocabulary worrds are really the building blocks for the rest of the term.
- Shutter Priority Mode
- Stop Action
- Blur(Motion)
- Panning
- Camera Shake
- Center Diamond - The Word
- Top Left - Definition of the Word
- Top Right - Image that reminds you of the definition
- Bottom Left - Annalogy/ personal association
- Bottom Right - How it is used in photography

2. Exploring Slow Shutter Speeds
For this assignment you will be using the internet to learn more about the uses of slow shutter speeds. Log on to the computer and open Internet Explorer. Type the following web address at the top of the browser: http://www.danheller.com/tech-longexp.html. Read all parts of the article and look closely at all pictures. Use the website to answer the questions below.
1. Explain the three types of long exposures.
2. How does the use of a neutral density filter change the way the photograph looks?
3. What are the steps to shooting lightning?
4. How are star trails created?
5. How does Reciprocity Failure change the way the film reacts to light?

4. Using Shutter speeds to Control Motion - Technical Shooting Assignment
The idea of this project is to teach you how to control motion by selecting certain Shutter Speeds. You and your partners will be sharing a camera and tripod. You will need to shoot this assignment in both the sun and the shade. You will also need a moving subject. Use the BDE wheel to determine the correct exposures. Shoot each of the different types of motion, then on you assignment page in Weebly, create a title for “Using Shutter Speeds to Control Motion”. Then create three separate titled galleries, one for each of the different types of motion listed below. Have fun and try something interesting.
Shooting Shutter Speeds
Stop Action - Shoot in Full Sun
Using the BDE wheel determine the correct exposure for a shutter speed of 1/50. Take the first exposure at that combination. Then take every other combination moving to the right, which are the faster shutter speeds. Set the cameras focal length to 35mm or lower so that you can use F-4.
What exposure Stopped all movement?________________________
Shutter Speed 1/50 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/100 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/200 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/400 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/800 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/1600 F-Stop___________________
Blur - Shoot in the Shade
Using the BDE wheel determine the correct exposure for a shutter speed of 1/200. Take the first exposure at that combination. Then take every other combination moving to the left which are the slower shutter speeds. It is highly recommended that you use a tripod if you want the background to be sharp in Blur. Zoom in to 50mm so that you can use F-32.
What exposure created the best Blur?________________________
Shutter Speed 1/100 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/50 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/25 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/13 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/6 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/3 F-Stop___________________
Panning - Shoot in the Shade
You must follow the subject in the viewfinder at the same speed as the subject. Set up your action in shade. Using the BDE wheel determine the correct exposure for a shutter speed of 1/200. Take the first exposure at that combination. Then take every other combination moving to the left which are the slower shutter speeds. Zoom in to 50mm so that you can use F-32.
What exposure worked best for Panning?________________________
Shutter Speed 1/100 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/50 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/25 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/13 F-Stop___________________
Shutter Speed 1/6 F-Stop___________________
