Minimum shutter speed required for shooting ordinary moving objects.

Freeze-frame action is a common shooting technique in photography, that is, while ensuring the correct exposure under the existing light conditions, the shutter speed higher than the moving speed of the subject is used to freeze the instantaneous picture. If the shutter speed used when taking a picture is lower than the moving speed of the subject, it is difficult to take a clear picture. Below, I sorted out the minimum shutter speed required to shoot common moving objects.

1/30 seconds:

Minimum shutter speed allowed for hand-held camera shooting. Below this speed, when shooting with a hand-held camera, the photos are prone to jitter. (Calculate the "safety shutter" according to the focal length of the lens. For example, a 50mm lens, whose safety shutter is 1/50).

1/60s:

The minimum shutter speed required to clearly photograph a stationary or slowly moving object. This shutter speed is suitable for shooting in bright light.

1125 seconds:

The minimum shutter speed required to capture moderate motion. Such as pedestrians or active babies.

1/250 seconds:

Minimum shutter speed required to capture a moving object at an average speed. Such as middle-speed runners, swimmers, cyclists, running children, etc.

1/500 seconds:

Capture fast-moving sports objects, such as middle-distance athletes, running horses, diving, riding bicycles, running cars or running basketball.

11000 seconds:

The minimum speed to capture a fast moving object. Such as racing cars, motorcycles, airplanes, speedboats, outdoor and stadium competitions, and birds. Because using this shutter speed requires setting a larger aperture, it is easy to make the depth of field very shallow.

Extension: shooting skills of street neon lights

(1) Intentional defocusing

In fact, this photo was achieved by "deliberately out of focus" technology. The method is simple. Just change the focus system of the camera to "manual focus" and then twist the focus ring towards the light source. You will see a round wave point in the viewfinder, and press the shutter when the ideal picture appears!

(2) looking for a suitable light source

Not all light sources can have this effect. We need to find round lights (such as led, light bulb, etc.). ); Moreover, the colors need to be rich to avoid the photos being too monotonous. Christmas lighting is a good theme. You can try!

(3) Large aperture makes the point beautiful.

When using a large aperture, the aperture leaf of the lens will be fully opened, so that the dot will be more round and the effect will be better.

Be careful of underexposure.

You may ask which mode to shoot? In fact, the A-mode semi-automatic mode is usually enough, but be careful that the camera may make a wrong judgment because it faces the light source when shooting, which makes the photo underexposed. At this time, we have to manually +EV for exposure compensation.

(5) Strengthen saturation

In order to make the picture more colorful and beautiful, we can adjust the saturation by adjusting the camera photos (or similar options), and you will find that the effect is different!
