Time for a new topic.

Let's go with Shutter Speed.

"Shutter speed gives you two things. One, it lets you freeze time. If you have a faster shutter speed, it’s going to open and close quickly and get that slice of whatever’s happening. Then there’s the instance where you want a really slow shutter speed that opens the aperture to let in more light. You can use slow shutter speed in a dimmer environment when you need more light to expose a shot correctly"

Using fast shutter speed to capture the popping of a balloon filled with water (and colour dye). The aim of this game is to get those 'lips'. 1/4000th of a second.







Having fun with Wushu Warriors; leaping in the air. Its an extension of sport photography.

Symmetry


Symmetry is a comprehensive tool that a photographer uses to create unique compositions in their photography. In photography, using symmetry creates balance and a sense of harmony when viewing the photograph.
