I have been
spending some time looking at the relationship between shutter speed, aperture
and focal length. After watching a video by digital Rev on how to shoot
photography in the early morning with little light I decided to explore more
about how to get the best shots with different lenses, one of the main things I
discovered was the best relationship between the focal length of the lens and
the best setting to shoot with on the shutter speed for example of shooting on
a 50mm lens its best to shoot at a shutter speed above 50 for example 1/60th
and if shooting on a 200mm lens above 1/250th to avoid camera shake. The
website explains that if shooting on a 50mm lens it’s important not to shoot
below 1/60th to avoid camera shake. Another good thing to website explained was
how moving the shutter speed up or down effectively doubles or half’s the
amount of light let as does the aperture so a good tool to use is if increasing
the speed of the shutter speed to also increase the aperture by one stop also
to compensate for it in lighting. Or alternatively increase the ISO the
following is taken from the website as examples to consider
For example
if you speed up your shutter speed one stop (for example from 1/125th to
1/250th) you’re effectively letting half as much light into your camera. To
compensate for this you’ll probably need to increase your aperture one stop
(for example from f16 to f11). The other alternative would be to choose a
faster ISO rating (you might want to move from ISO 100 to ISO 400 for example).Tuesday, 15 January 2013
