The view of my school from the pitch even at night was beautiful. Though it was border-lining on freezing temperature the lights from the school warmed the air and sky surrounding. Distance from the main subject in the photo further adds colour and feel to the composition as a whole.

Shutter speeds affect on the photographic world

Shutter Speed.

It in itself is arguably the most important thing to remember when taking a photography as if you didn't have it, you wouldn't have a photo. The shutter speed is the amount of time the sensor in the camera exposes itself to light and altering this can change the amount of light in your photo. Now knowing this you can change the shutter speed to alter the light and furthermore the effect of your photograph.

Take this alleyway for example:

These photos were taken at 1am on an evening with a full moon but with a fair amount of clouds but as you can see by altering the shutter speed i was able to control the light that entered and hit the sensor.

Here the shutter speed is at 1/20 (A twentieth of a second)

As you can see the only thing that is visual in the photo is the source of light

 Then by increasing the shutter speed to 1/5 (A fifth of a second)

 By doing this you can see that more light has been let in and illuminated the walls and surroundings

 By increasing it further to 1/2 (A half second)

this lets in the most light and even at 2am the sky is lit by how much light has hit the sensor

By being able to manipulate the light levels in the photograph is allows us change the effect that the photo has and furthermore the meaning.
