Shutter Speed Challenge by milaniet

Shutter Speed Challenge

What I learned most was that I could use slower shutter speeds than I thought and still keep decent focus.
Did you use a tripod? I find that allows for much slower speeds on inanimate objects. Handheld is a lot shakier for me.

@taffy This was for the setting challenge and had to be hand held. I was ok indoors where I was able to sit - not as good outdoors standing.

Interested in your shot here as I am also trying the challenge. You have got good focus still at the slower speed. The challenge was to set 1/8 for the lowest, did you try that. They did asked what was the lowest speed that you managed to focus at, was this yours? I think I would like to try and see how what I could do our of interest. Your pretty pot makes an ideal subject.

@jennywren I misunderstood the low end - am going to give it a try at 1/8.

Very interesting.

I've replaced the 1/20 setting with one shot at 1/8 - different day so that explains some of the difference since the bowl had been moved slightly and the light was a little different. This I focused slightly differently, too. Am amazed that you can hand hold at that slow speed.

Great comparisons.

Neat idea! Which do you like best?

@thewatersphotos Surprisingly, I think the first (1/8) which totally is against my usual shooting. The accuracy of color is perfect - and the focus is good - not pin point sharp but good I think.

Great to see the shots beside each other. The colour looks a little richer on the right.

@kathiecb Which is the way I usually shoot! I'm sure if I used one of the others, I'd do a little editing in saturation or lighting - probably couldn't stop myself :)

You have got a good shot at that low speed, it was a good exercise to do. I am waiting for next challenge now!
