This exercise is about showing movement through an image and the effect of shutter speed on this.
My initial thoughts were to wait and do this exercise in a couple of weeks when I’m going to Silverstone, but as I am keen to keep momentum going decided to do it at the ice rink. Many thanks to the MK Hurricanes Ice Hockey team for allowing me down to their training session.
I set my camera to shutter speed priority so it automatically calculated the correct corresponding aperture to prevent reciprocity failure. I used a tripod for the exercise and took photographs at different shutter speeds as they skated past doing drills.
f2.8, ISO1600, 1/4000's 104mm
This wasn’t too successful at the higher shutter speeds due to low light levels, even at ISO1600 with a F2.8 lens as shown above.
F2.8, ISO1600, 1/1250's, 104mm
F3.5, ISO1600, 1/320's, 104mm
At shutter speeds from 1/320’s upwards the image is sharp and not showing motion blur.
F4, ISO1600, 1/250's, 104mm
F20, ISO1600, 1/15's, 104mm
At shutter speeds between 1/250’s and 1/15’s you can start to see motion blur more and more though the image is still recognisable.
F22, ISO1600, 1/8's, 104mm
F22, ISO1600, 1/4's, 76mm
Anything below a shutter speed of 1/8’s and the image becomes more and more abstract.
