Photography 101: Shutter Speed (2 of 3)

If you can successfully use aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, you are on your way to having perfect exposure triangle. If you can master shutter speed, you can stop moments in time. This is the second of three meetups that will breakdown the fundamentals of each key photography skill. You will be given a small "assignment" to help you explore the effects of a slow and fast shutter speed. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• Shutter speed is the amount of time your shutter is open, it is measured in seconds, the bigger the denominator the faster the speed
• How to change your shutter speed on your camera
• Shutter priority mode
• How to isolate your shutter speed to clearly freeze movement
• How to slow down shutter to get a blurred or soft effect.

WHAT TO BRING:

• A wide to mid range angle lens (Think 16mm to 85)
• A tripod
• A good attitude and creative mind

WHERE WILL WE MEET:

We will meet on the South Shore Parking lot at Lake Bde Maka Ska (Lake Calhoun)
