This project has been a blast! I spent the week working with high/low shutter speed photography. Shutter speed not only has the ability to stop time and capture all the action but it is able to slow time as well, telling a strong through the blurs and flickers of light. The exposure triangle really taught me a lesson or two this week! Shutter speed not only influences motion but light as well. In each photo, I hope to delineate to you the story I captured and how the shot was taken
Blurry
Devoted to devotional: 1/17/23, 12:11pm, BYU-I Center, 35mm, f/22, 0.4 sec, ISO 100, Camera: Indoor Lighting (SONY A7IV, 24-70GMii)
I left a few minutes before the devotional ended and dashed to the top floor to capture this photograph of all the students leaving the devotional. This story tells a tale of the experience of being a faithful student at BYU-I, making time for our heavenly father while conquering the rigors of higher education.
The City Lights: 1/15/23,8:14pm, S 1st West St, 24mm,f/16, 25sec, ISO 80, Camera Lighting: Moonlight/Lampost (SONY A7IV, 24-70GMii)
The night before a holiday means the city is embracing the holiday weather. This is commonly the busiest street in Rexburg. In this photograph you can see how busy and bustling this intersection is, It took me a while to get this photograph as it took multiple trial-and-error shots to get the exposure right.
Tact Sharp
Snow Fight: 1/16/23, 3:19pm, Stone Brook Apartments,70mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 Sec, ISO 320, Camera Lighting: Natural Light (SONY A7iv, 24-70GMii)
High shutter speed captures every particle of snow as it hits its target. The high shutter speed not only captures the snow but also all the embarrassing facial expressions found in a snowball fight. High shutter speed results in less light being captured, to avoid dark photos shot with optimal lighting. To combat the light I decided to shoot at 3pm when the sun is at its peak.
Snow Blast: 1/16/23, 3:13pm, Stone Brook Apartments,70mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 Sec, ISO 320, Camera Lighting: Natural Light (SONY A7iv, 24-70GMii)
High shutter speed shooting requires the shot to be precise to help this I enabled drive mode so that I am able to capture multiple frames of the snowball exploding on my friend’s hand and pick and choose the most optimal one. Framing is also very difficult as during a snowball fight there is a lot of movement.

Hey you did a great job on your photos! I think you really captured motion and I love the building one.
Chester!!! I love your pictures. I think the first motion picture is my favorite. You captured the motion of the flood of students so well. ALSO i love your website. chefs kiss
Hey Chester,
Great job using shutter speed to get some great shots. I think my favorite shoot that you captured is the one after the devotional in which you slowed the shutter speed. I think it does a great job telling a story and using great techniques.

I think you did an excellent job this week. It was super creative to sneak out of devotional to get that mass movement. I think that the angle you got was super cool, and it made for a really cool photograph.
