Shutter speed and Aperture

Assignment Description- For this assignment we had to show the difference between different shutter speeds and apertures. We went out with our cameras and took pictures of moving objects using different shutter speeds. The faster the shutter speed, the clearer, but darker the image is. As you can see in the slide show, the first picture of the water coming out of the drinking fountain is slightly blurrier then the ones after that. The last picture of the water is also significantly darker, but clearer. For aperture  I took pictures of a locker combination dial, the first pictures only focus on the dial but as the pictures move on you can see the background get more focused.

Shutter speed- Water fountain
Aperture- Locker combination dial




What I learned- For this assignment I learned the differences between shutter speed and aperture. Shutter speed is how long the shutter is open. The longer the shutter is open, the more light is let in, those photos are usually brighter. The shorter the shutter is open, the less light is let in. When the shutter is really small the picture usually comes out really dark. Aperture is how in focused the picture is. The lower the aperture, the more focused the picture is on one thing. Then the background is usually blurry. But when the aperture gets higher, The whole picture becomes less blurry and it is all in focused.
