Shutter speed

 This is a photo taken in TV mode, this means that I can control how fast the shutter speed is the shutter speed means that however many seconds it takes for the shutter to open and close it controls how much light goes into the picture. This determines whether the photo will be over or under exposed to light. I took it at 1/250th of a second, this is because the person in this photo is not going at a fast pace, if she was running for example it would be a lot higher.
The problem with this photo is if you don't take the photo quick enough for the person in the photo to be in mid air then it wont work. I could solve this problem by taking the photo at the correct time when the person is in mid air. Next time when I take this photo I could make the shutter speed at a higher level because then more light will go into the picture and the picture will be a better quality. Other possible problems with this photo is that the subject is too far away, I could solve this problem by moving forward myself or using a zoom motion on the camera. When taking a photo I could take my time and review images when I've taken them, then if they are wrong I can re take them and think about how I take a photo the next time. Another problem that could affect the way I take a photo is if pictures have a focal blur, this can be solved for the next time by putting the camera into automatic focus mode which is when the camera automatically focuses for you before you go to take a photo.

In this photo I should of used the shutter speed control to put more light into the picture, I could improve on this next time by adjusting the shutter speed, I also should have been closer to the subject I could improve on this by moving closer to the subject or zooming in on the camera.







This is a good example of shutter speed control, the subject is laughing and because the subject and I were positioned in a shadowy place I had to use shutter speed control to control how much light was put into the picture other wise the picture would look too dark a way of controling this would be increasing the ISO speed of your camera (for example 1/500th of a second)
