The setting on the camera which controls how motion is captured is ____shutter speed______.

The longest the Nikon D3300’s shutter stays open is__30 seconds___.


The shortest duration the Nikon D3300’s shutter stays open is _1/4000_____.

When we used a ____slow_____ shutter speed, we had to use a tripod because no one can possibly hold a camera steady for that length of time without moving the camera.


In the situation where we intentionally wanted to use a slow shutter speed, we had to use an ISO of _100__ and the smallest aperture of f22 and even higher. This forced the camera to allow a shutter speed of at least 1 second. The longer shutter speed allowed us to convey G_ OST images which was an interesting effect especially when combined with a person who is standing very still in the picture. My favorite picture from that situation is …(Insert the picture) Include the exposure information with the picture example ISO 100 f22 2 seconds. If we want to get in the picture as well, we can set the camera to a delay by using the ____shutter speed______


iso 100 F22
iso 100 f22


Movement of the camera isn’t always a bad thing like the example of panning. In the picture where we photographed someone riding a bicycle to convey motion, we used a shutter speed of 1/4000____ and an aperture of__f22__ and the ISO was __100__. My favorite picture from this assignment is shown (on the left or right) (Insert your picture in the blog post)


iso 100 f22 1/4000


On the other extreme end of shortest duration that the camera shutter stays open, we used __multiple__high shutter speeds or fractions of a second. In the water balloon bursting picture, we used ISO__100_ aperture of F__6_ and shutter speed of __1/2000____


To capture splashing water, we also used high shutter speeds. Here are my favorite pictures of high shutter speeds. (Insert your own pictures in the blog post)
