PROJECT #12a - MOTION BLUR, Pt. 1 (Shutter Priority)

PHOTOGRAPHY FINAL PROJECT 
Part 1 


RATIONALE:
To explore MANUAL functions of a camera, and gain control of camera settings.

PRIOR TO MAKING PHOTOS:
If you have a stand-alone camera that has manual function, use that camera. If your phone is your camera, download the following: 

iPhone (Links):
SLOW SHUTTER CAM (this $1.99 app will suffice)


Android:
Check your camera app to see if you have a 'PRO' or 'MANUAL' mode, then see me for suggestions. 

NOTE: If you are unable to acquire an app, please see me for other possibilities. Of course, you will not be penalized for not being able to acquire an app. 


DIRECTIONS:
1. Slow your shutter speed to a fraction of a second (1/60, 1/30, 1/8...)
2. With a partner, make the following photos TWICE.
3. Keep a record of what BOTH shutter speeds were while making each photo.
(On your site, you will be posting the shutter speed underneath each photo).
4. 

















CAMERA MOVEMENT:
1. Panning - you move the camera in the same direction as your subject. 
2. Still - the camera is still but your subject is moving. 



THE GOAL:
To make images that have subject matter that is in motion blur while ALSO containing something that is NOT BLURRED.

We need to be able to rest our eye ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT BLURRED.

Note: If you have a DSLR camera w/an "S" setting...set it to that "S" setting. Choose the shutter speed you want. (This is called "SHUTTER PRIORITY," and the camera will adjust the other settings automatically.)
