Today I learned all about the importance of shutter speed on the quality of the photos. I knew, in the back of my mind that slowing down the shutter lets more light in to the eye of the camera. However I had never thought about the application of that fact though until playing around with the settings on the back porch. The following collage of photos were all taken within a 5 minute period of time. The first picture is with the shutter slowed down to 1/3. I think the last picture was taken at 1/160. I don't remember what the ISO was set at or the aperture. I do know that once I got above 1/160 I had to open up the aperture a little bit to be able to see my subject.
Once I got done with the literal comparison of the shutter speed I decided to see how fast the camera could really work, so I changed a general setting to shoot continuously and set the shutter speed to 1/4000. I told my sweet daughter to twirl and run in the backyard just to see how much of her motion I could capture. These are my favorite pictures from that experiment. I can't wait to see what this camera can do at a soccer field in the morning.
