Drought: different shutter speeds
Title: Drought
Exercise: Fix the camera in front of a subject that moves several times or continuously across your view. Make a series of exposures, from the fastest to the slowest shutter speed.
Approach: I had been thinking about this exercise for some days before I attempted it. I knew I wanted to do something outside but it had been raining for most of the week. This was all during the period that a ‘drought’ had been declared and a hosepipe ban enforced hence the slightly tongue in cheek title.
My favourite images are those on the slower shutter speeds where the water appears to turn to a veil of gauze over the rocks. To get this effect I also had to change the ISO setting so i could get the slower shutter speeds in the bright afternoon sun.
