Slow Shutter Speed Photography

Paths and Pen Tool-Magneto

Triangle of Exposure

1. Aperture: the opening through which light passes through a photographic instrument, which can be adjusted to variably open the amount of light that enters a camera.

2. Shutter Speed: the time of exposure, or the effective length of a camera's shutter is open.

3. ISO: is the standard measure of light sensitivity for the imaging medium. In other words, the film speed. 

4. Depth of Field: The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that an image can have focus in.

5. Motion Blur: the streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image.

6. Noise and light sensitivity: the variation of brightness or color information in images, as a by-produce of image capture that adds spurious and extraneous information.

Print vs. Digital

5 Positives of Digital Photography

• Instant feedback regarding photo taken
• Convenience with a large volume of photos taken
• Portability, designed to be relatively portable with the whole apparatus
• Easy sharing photos via electronics
• No prints, no excess copies and photographic messes around

5 Negatives of Digital Photography

• Complexity of programs and different versions
• Necessity of a Computer at hand
• High costs (computer, camera, transfer docks, etc)
• Battery life is limiting
• Electronic failures, such as hacking or virus can destroy and tamper with photos

5 Positives of Print Photography

• Resolution. Good film easily beats the resolution of digital
• Work in many places, such as very humid or very hot places that would disturb 
• Cheap start in comparison to digital photography
• Great dynamic range
• Good archival properties

5 Negatives of Print Photography

• Low light performanace
• Difficulty and inconvenience of using and obtaining film stock in comparison
• Limit in post processing
• Delay of waiting for print
• Storage takes up space
