Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed is the length of time that the shutter is left open, the time is measured in fractions of a second. Every time the shutter closes it represents a ‘stop’ of light which then creates the image. The speed in which the shutter is set at will determine how movement in the image is recorded. A clear image depends on shutter speed as well as other factors.To get the best quality image, it is recommended that when the shutter speed is below 1/30 of a second – a tripod is used. When the shutter speed is 1/30 of a second it depends on the individual whether their hand is steady enough to stay still when the image is taken. When the shutter speed is 1/60 of a second or higher, the image should be clear when the camera is hand held as the image is taken fast enough so hand movement does not affect the outcome.
The faster the moving object, the time that the shutter closes will need to be much shorter to freeze the motion and capture a clear image. This speed could be used for images like moving cars or animals. Slow shutter speed can create different effects as it usually blurs movement. The slow shutter speed can create an image that is focused on a non moving object, then the moving object is slightly blurred.

Using a slow shutter speed allows us to draw images with light. For this to take place, a dark room with no light is needed. In a dark room the light will be the source that is picked up onto the image, the slow shutter speed allows the movement of the light to be captured which creates the shape.
Artists - Painting with Light

| Toby Keller - Dance, 2006 |
Picasso was born in Spain, 1881. He was a painter, sculptor, print maker and ceramicist. He was an artist who experimented with light painting. His light paintings included flowers in a vase, figures, animals and other abstract pieces.
Another artist who creates paints with light is Toby Keller. Unlike Picasso, Toby paints light into a landscape scenery. The majority of his work takes place on a beach around rocks, with light on the main subject of the image. The light is usually straight lines, curves and dotted lines to make circles,
When making our own photograph, we also used basic lines and shapes to create an image.
The aperture was set to F 11 and the shutter speed was set to 15 - 25 seconds. The speed of the shutter allowed the motion of light to be captured which created a clear image. We used different light sources to create different line thickness and colour. For example, and large torch created the thick golden line, and a light on our phones created a thin pale blue line.
As this was a practice, we had no specific image we wanted to create so we drew two random shapes. I think it worked well because the shapes drawn with the light came out clear, which means the shutter speed was set correctly.
