Integrating Time: Harnessing The Power of Shutter Speed

As photographers, we capture moments of time. How long our shutter stays open says a lot about the resultant photograph and the mood and dynamism it conveys. In this presentation, David Swindler will discuss new ways to think about shutter speed and how to use it effectively in a variety of situations. He will cover not only technical aspects but also how to employ shutter speed from a creative standpoint. From very long exposures to nearly instantaneous captures with a strobe, David will make it easy to understand how to optimize your shutter speed in the field.
