The Fountain

From Panopticon


From Panopticon


These photos are the results of the second project and experimentation with shutter speed. The first picture, the one with a lot of detail, was shot at 1/4000 for the shutter speed, allowing me to capture a freeze frame of the water and the droplets.

The second picture is almost exactly the same composition, but with a shutter speed of 1/20. This allowed me to capture the water as it blurred together. It was in constant motion, but nothing else was.

i think the above photos do a wonderful job of displaying both the technical and artistic differences between long and short shutter speeds. the artist chose a perfect subject with which to explore his camera settings and he executed the task beautifully.
