It has been a busy weekend! But, today's lesson is short and sweet.
Today I am going to wrap up the basic photographic settings tutorials with shutter speed, to move on to bigger better things.
Shutter speed determines the speed at which the shutter or what is sometimes called a curtain opens, then closes again, exposing the sensor (or film) to the light.
The TV mode which was discussed here deals primarily with adjusting the shutter speed only, the camera letting all else fall into place.
Depending on the optical length of your lens, the minimum you want your shutter speed to be when hand-holding your camera shooting still or relatively immobile objects is 1/60. This is roughly 1/60th of a second that the sensor (or film) is exposed to the light in front of it.
Most cameras have a range of a 30 second shutter up to about 1/8000 and higher.
See? Short and sweet!!
I just acquired a set of transmitter/receivers by elinchrom, look for some basic and intermediate lighting tutorials and a review on the elinchrom universal receivers soon.
