Slow Shutter Speed

Continuing or shutter speed priority we shift from fast shutter speed to slow.  As a class we first research slow shutter speed photography and discuss artists that students find inspirational. Students share their analysis of these photos, photographers and their artwork with the class using Padlet. Students then partner up, use the camer timer, or other volunteers to take slow shutter speed photos, resulting in ghost like images. Students then reflect on their own process and photographs.

 The first image is a long dramatic hallway shot.  On one hand I have this super clear image that is still and the person is see through. The problem I have is that I think the people look sloppy. The satisfying part about finishing my work was the editing process. I knew I had taken this awesome picture and I was so excited to get right in and edit it to make it better. When people look at this piece of are I want them to see the detail and I want them to look at the clarity of the image but also see how the aspect of slow shutter speed worked. The second photo is a shot on the stairs on the second floor in the old building. I was able to hold my tripod on two legs and hold it still on the stairs for the three seconds that I took the picture. If I took it later in the day the stained glass in the background would have held more color. I didn’t exactly know how I was going to take the picture but I just walked next to the stairs and was like “I need to make this work.” ~Sam

I really like how detailed her face is but at the same time you can see right through her body. Also, the details in her clothes is really visible. Although while taking the picture I had no issues, I do want to be able to work on getting my backgrounds a little less blurry, whether it be while taking the picture or editing. What’s satisfying to me about this picture is how it looks like he duplicated himself. It’s really cool to be able to do something like that. One thing I would improve on with this piece is the editing, I would’ve liked to make him a little more visible. ~Francheska

What was satisfying to me about this finished product was that he looked like a ghost photographer which is what I was going for. In this photo what I really liked about the finished piece was that you could see right through him and it really looked like a ghost was playing the piano. I have seen in movies or shows where there has been ghost playing pianos, so the photo makes sense.  Before we started this project I was not even aware that you could lower the shutter speed to create a ghost photo, so now I discovered not only can you do that but how to do it. ~Even
