Shutter Speed and Everything After

Partners: Isaac Hong and Valerie Chuong

Lens Blog Photo

1. This photograph was taken with a fast shutter speed because there seems to be quick movement by the truck. In order to capture a photo with fast movement, the shutter speed must be fast as well.

2. This photo shows the rule of composition of balancing elements. The bright colors of the trucks really contrast with the clear gray sky. These balanced elements keeps the photo from not being too overpowering to look at.
Isaac: "The rule of depth presents itself in this photo. The highway winds endlessly for as far as the eye can see."
Valerie: "
The rule of using lines  is demonstrated in the photo through the use of the lane lines on the road and the guard rails. These lines all converge (to a single point) and lead to the main focus of the picture, the fallen truck and the passing trucks. This is closely related to the element of art, line, but is different because it the element of art states that there is a usage of line, while the rule of composition of line says how it can be use to make the photograph more effective."

3. I think this photo shows the element of art of lines. The lines on the highway as well as the sharp lines that outline the truck give the photo a clean and crisp feeling. This keeps the photo simple yet appealing to the eye.

4. This photograph shows the principle of design of movement. The trucks on the right seem like they're moving while the truck on the left is stopped altogether. The fast movement of the upright trucks as well as the stillness of the toppled truck balances this picture.

"Tuesday with Farley's Kids"
I think the shutter speed is 1/250
