At the end of the video I was going to say that David didn't mention the most important reason to select a specific shutter speed. The artistic choice. But then he did. Great job.
Thanks, David, for those example shots with shutter speeds, that helps reinforce how long it might take to get the desire effects. Good for teaching with, and good to look at too!
Excellent refresher for those still learning the basics! Sometimes, even the 3 parts of the exposure triangle can get a little muddied up a bit. This video really REALLY clarified the properties of Shutter Speed. Hopefully you will do matching tutorials (in the same basic style) of Aperture and even ISO. Newer photographers will love you for it. Kudos!
it great overall review on shutter speeds effect for one image so gives more thought to how one want to work out the image that you want to capture in doors and outdoors. it dealing with the light you get at that moment is so important to know how the basic work in one ceative style of shooting Great coverage David thanks
Incidentally, you'll see similar things with car taillights these days, as many are heavily duty-cycled LEDs - makes getting the traditional light streak shots require a bit more attention to detail on the setup than it used to, unless you want a series of dotted lines.
I find that in certain live situations a really fast shutter speed with also affect auto focus. For Live Music I generally try not to go over 400 to avoid any fast focus issues.
We had to do this with film, on our SLRs. I had trouble because I was using too much of extreme settings, I should have used faster moving things, like your volleyball example. My photos' exposure is all over the place.
Great detailed video, thank you David Bergman! You are right, as we learn more the choice of fast or slow shutter speed is up to the photographer and their creative vision. Thanks ADORAMA for having these great videos on your channel
Ah, David, you missed a nifty trick when using slow shutter speeds. I use all the tricks you mentioned, BUT I also use the self-timer. That way the camera takes the photo without the movement of my finger on the button releasing the shutter. (I wonder if you can set the camera to shoot a burst while using a self-timer. That would be a neat trick. NB: I have an R5)
Just putting this here for new(er than me) folks - IR/Bluetooth (depending on your camera body) remote triggers are cheap tools which will solve the same problem, but with more flexibility. Further, if you're using a DSLR, you probably want to shoot longer exposures in mirror-up (live view) mode, since the mirror moving between positions can (and often does) produce a jarring slap which will disturb the image. Also, if you want to do "burst" hands-off long exposures and your camera doesn't natively support it, consider getting an intervalometer with wireless control. (Those aren't expensive either.)
Curious about shutter speed when shooting video. It can't be slower than frames per second allows less some auto-focus time. Maybe too short a shutter duration would break continuity of motion. I never understood why video people talk about shutter speed in degrees instead of seconds.
Google the 500 rule. Or NPF. There are a few ways to calculate your shutter speed vs focal length to avoid / lesson movement of the stars in your frame.
Slow shutter on a tripod in my experience. You need to turn off IS, or your images will blur. 5DMKIII 70-200MM F2.8 MKII 20SECS. Some people tell me I'm either crazy or lying while there a some who agree. 🫣
It depends on the lens. Some of the newest lenses have an IS mode that will work fine on a tripod while older lenses do not. Maybe that's why you get different opinions!

Excellent breakdown of shutter speed David! Well done as usual.
Great information as always 👍😎 never hurts to refresh the aperture mind

Your lecture a great help for beginners
Thanks for this series! It really explains things well for new photographers like me. Maybe now I can finally get quality photos using manual mode!
Thank you for this.... there's always room for the basics.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about banding.

Interesting. I've never seen that and I shoot a lot of live action at fast shutter speeds. Might be something different going on.
@@DavidBergmanPhoto good to know

You are a born educator!
Thanks!
For your star exposure in Yosemite, was that just 30 seconds on a tripod or were you using a star tracker?
Tripod (actually a Platypod on the ground).
That bridge photo!! Where can I get one?

Just one thing more on led lights. At high shutter speeds you can actually catch them off as they blink at 60 htz
Yea, I seen that often with little twinkle lights. Every frame looks completely different.
Sir this information is good but let us know about Kelvin how to use

Yea, video is a different beast with different requirements.
When i shoot the stars with 30s exposure… i got movements at the stars 😅
