Shutter Speed Impact on Image ========================= Here is a nice example from my recent Tadoba workshop where I was able to explain to the workshop participants on the concept of using shutter speed for wildlife photography. Shutter speed can either freeze the action when you use high shutter speed or create a motion blur in slow shutter speed. There is nothing called as the best setting for wildlife photography. As a photographer you decide how you want your image to be. Your images need not match reality - But your personal vision / perception on what you want to show to the viewers. I am not talking about digital manipulation, but creating the image out of the camera. The first image has been photographed with a high shutter speed of 1/1600 and the second image has been photographed with a low shutter speed of 1/25 (panning effect). For panning shots, you need to have the shutter speed in the range of 1/25 to 1/40 and shoot in AF-C or AI Servo. You need to be careful on what kind of focusing points you choose. In this case I had single point focus point on the face of the Sambar Deer and it worked well as the lighting situation was good. Note: I have flipped the canvas horizontal in the first image to show both the images in same direction. Canon 1DX + Canon 400mm f2.8 L IS II + 2x III Converter. High Speed: ISO 320, f5.6 @ 1/1600, Evaluative Metering -2/3 Stop. Low Speed: ISO 100, f25 @ 1/25, Evaluative Metering -2/3 Stop. Feel free to share this knowledge on photography.
