Shutter Speed

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which will be next month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth - 1/2000 of a second
b.) the food eating contest - 1/250 of a second
c.) the rock climbing wall - 1/250 of a second
d.) someone working at a booth - 5 second exposure
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle -  1/250 of a second
f.) the Diamonds performance. -  1/1600 of a second

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
a.) the dunking booth - 1/2000 of a second
b.) the food eating contest - 1/1600 of a second
c.) the rock climbing wall - 1/1600 of a second
d.) someone working at a booth - 1/250 of a second
f.) the Diamonds performance. 1/2000 of a second

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.


Auto-  the computer sets it for you.
Aperture Priority- you just set the aperture, while the camera sets the shutter speed.
Manual- when you set the aperture and shutter speed by yourself without the camera doing it for you.







3. With the camera near you, what are the shutter speeds available to you on that camera? You will have to turn the camera on to determine this - hopefully you can figure out what setting to put the camera on to determine the answer to this question.
