Less Complicated
Welcome to Simpli.fied – a blog about tackling the complexities in life. Simplified as in less complicated not simplistic. My name is Prashant Mullick and I am a chemical engineer trying to lead a resource efficient and scientifically enriched life. I like to call it a simplified life.

Beautiful patterns- wonder how they caught the show- maybe slow motion captures???
A very very fast shutter speed … 1/2000
I dont understand?
If possible – cud u kindly explain
1) As i have heard – slower the shutter speed the more motion you capture cause the aperture is open for a longer time, faster the shutter speed the less motion u capture cause the aperture is open for a shorter time. This i think is the theory for still photography- what about videpgraphy- it shud be the same?
2) I have a still digicam Sony W-35 – i dont even know how to vary the shutter speed, i think it doesnt have that function, probably wud need lenses for that- am i right?
3) I shud try some special effects now that i have learnt something.
You are on the right track. In still photography, a faster shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a shorter period of time, thus capturing a shorter time period in the still. The opposite is correct for a fast shutter.
The concept is similar in video, except that the shutter speed now refers to an electronic function. A fast shutter will result in a video with less motion blur; a slow shutter, the opposite.
Your camera, the W-35 unfortunately, does not allow manual controls of shutter speeds or apertures. I would not be disheartened, there is a lot of learning to do in photography besides control of shutter speeds and apertures.
Just take as many pictures as you can and have fun while at it.
