Slow Shutter Speed
View allAll Photos Tagged Shutter_Speed
A common resident bird found around freshwater lakes, rivers and waterbodies. They are much smaller than the Grey Heron's and less aggressive too in my view. The birds are quite shy and have a tendency to hide in the reeds, vegetation unlike the Grey Herons which are more visible. The nesting season is towards the end of Summer and the birds start collecting materials like twigs to build their nests. These nests are well located in the middle of tall reeds and vegetation.
I was experimenting with very high shutter speeds and this was shot at max shutter speed of 1/32000. I am impressed by the quality of the shot and R5MKII noise levels are well controlled in the Raw file. The haze made things worse though. I am doubtful of using such high speeds ever though and at best limited to experimentation I guess.
Have you ever shot at such high shutter speeds? How did that go?
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
Hope people are not getting bored of these!
1/50 Shutter., this time gliding... which made the subject more stable for panning (wing flapping invariably causes body movement)
I find this sort of photography fun and challenging., and it creates the opportunity for something quite ordinary (a Heron flying past) to become something extraordinary in a photographic sense
This image is from 2 photostitched images:
Lens: Olympus 14-150mm F/4-F/5.6
Focal Length: 150mm
Aperture: F/8
Shutter Speed: 1/400 second
ISO: 1600
With the dark clouds over the oil refineries, this picture could be a metaphor for our future with fossil fuels, which were great at one time, but which hopefully are ready disappear into the sunset!
Chilean Flamingo resting in the sunshine. Taken at the Calgary Zoo. Would love to see one in the wild - but in the interim the zoo provides a nice safe spot to walk around and practice with the camera in January.
A juvenile Bald Eagle plays with a Ring-billed Gull. The stakes are high, but the Ring-bill out-maneuvered the Eagle.
The shutter speed was a little low for this action, but, I thought, "Content trumps Quality". (Thanks, Jerry AMende, for this phrase!).
Grizzly nostrils during the spin cycle, LOL
I was shooting with a pretty slow shutter speed when he started shaking the water off his head. He was just sitting in the river by the banks under some willow branches grabbing a salmon here and there as they'd float by him. Was hoping I'd get at least one nostril in focus. I did, LOL. Thought it made for a kinda cool shot
I hope you can view this on a larger screen. You'll get a much better appreciation for the photo
On a thorn bush. The sharpness is just a hair off because of the shutter speed and subject motion but I still like it.
Embracing the blur on the streets of central Galway. First of a short series of images featuring intentionally long shutter speeds to blur motion, but capture the stationary... with varying results, I might add. Shield your eyes, landscape photography fans.
A cool grasshopper that I photographed in my Maryland yard on 9/9/25.
Canon 90D, Canon MPE 65mm macro lens, Canon twin macro flash, aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400
A Great Horned Owl that I photographed at the Alaska Raptor Center on 5-8-23.

Grey Heron banking left to fly across Ballyholme Bay. It was quite dark so getting the right mix of iso and shutter speed as tricky. I quite like the subtle movement left in the wingtips.
These rocks near Bandol in Oregon, shot in blue hour, provided a lovely subject at a variety of shutter speeds, both longer and shorter than the image above.

Just kidding on the shutter speed. This is a Calliope Hummingbird. The name, hummingbird, comes from the humming noise their wings make as they beat so fast. Hummingbirds are the only type of bird that can sustain long term hovering, and they are acrobatic flyers that can also fly backwards and change direction almost instantly. At times, hummingbirds can even fly upside down!
Steel Pier, Atlantic City at blue hour.
Sony's OSS is not bad, image seems to be sharp at 1/8 sec handheld.
It's always fun to play with a little motion blur with fall foiliage. To do this, I used a tripod and set a shutter speed of 0.5sec. I moved the camera vertically while pressing the shutter button. This kind of gives the impression of brush strokes.
This panorama of Mt. Diablo was seen from the roof of Orchards Shopping Center in Walnut Creek, California.
It was photo-stitched from 2 handheld high-resolution photographs:
Camera: OM System OM-5
Lens: Panasonic Lumix 12-32mm
Focal Length: 32mm
Shutter Speed: 1/400s, 1/500s
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 200
Another low ISO, slow shutter speed capture - ISO 250 and 1/320th sec... handheld with the RF600/f4. I rarely use a monopod or tripod now unless shooting video with manual focus.
Many thanks to those who take the time to view, fave and/or comment on some of my images.
Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus, 1758), also known as the plain tiger or African monarch, is a butterfly species that belongs to the milkweed subfamily of the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. The butterfly is widespread in Asia and Africa. The plain tiger is believed to be one of the first butterflies to be used in art. A 3500-year-old Egyptian fresco features the oldest illustration of this species.
This butterfly uses some interesting defense mechanisms. For instance, the plain tiger is protected from attacks due to the unpalatable alkaloids ingested during the larval stages. The butterfly, therefore, flies slowly and leisurely, generally close to the ground and in a straight line. This gives a wannabe predator ample time to recognise and avoid attacking it.
I found this species a few weeks ago at Polis, Cyprus. For those interested in the technical details, this is a handheld shot, taken with Nikon D750 and Nikon 105 mm f/2.8 VR, with a 1/200s shutter speed at f/11 and ISO 100, plus SB-900 flash diffused.
If you like what you see, do not hesitate to throw a star, or to leave a constructive comment! :-)
A tricolored Heron ... subtle colors and patterns. Perfect balance and symmetry. Then there's the shoddy craftmanship of the bench!
The Tricolored or Louisiana Heron does not swim but wades in deep water. Audubon called this bird "Lady of the Water" because of its grace and beauty. It resembles the Great Blue Heron but is much smaller and more delicate. Its white belly clearly distinguishes it from all other Herons. It strides briskly through the water, sometimes running after fish and catching them with a thrust of the beak. This action is so fast that it can only be caught with a shutter speed of 1/4000th of a second or less!
The name Louisiana Heron is very misleading because it also lives in coastal states from North Carolina to Texas, especially in Florida.

I rarely take photos with shutter speeds greater than a second. In water motion a shutter speed of a half a second is usually ideal for getting the texture in the water I desire. However some 6 years ago I would often take a image of 30 seconds or more, occasionally to achieve a misty sea more often though it was to create a dynamic sky. Today’s photo is an example of this taken in December 2017. How often do you reach for the ND64, ND100 filters?
Wasp
My first attempt at Macro photography since my new lens arrived two days ago. Gales and rain have finally stopped so managed a few clicks in the garden this evening
Sony A9II +90mm f2.8 @ 1/320 f14 iso 320 + Godox TTL fill flash, hand held auto focus, one image @ 30 cm distance.
No need for tripod with this set up. 10 stops of image stabilisation lens 5 and camera 5, wasp kept moving other wise I could have shot at 1/100 shutter speed hand held- no wind. Auto focus on this camera is superior to manual focus despite all the experts saying use manual focus for single shot macro photography
The platform is empty here despite it being a busy station and busy time at 6.45pm. The reason is that at Bank Station the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) is a terminus. This platform is for incoming trains and there is another platform for outgoing trains. Everybody has got off the train which has come in and left the platform as the train leaves. There were no problems from the Station Assistant though zooming in a full resolution he definitely had his eyes on me. This shot was taken a couple of London trips ago on 9 March
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 13mm.. Single image processed first in RAW. Noise was reduced using Topaz DeNoise and more detail with Topaz Clarity. More Pop with Topaz Adjust. Brighness/contrast adjustment layer with a layer mask to bring down brightness in the roof lights only. Used the crop tool for better composition but also to straighten by bring the mouse to a corner and dragging to crop at an angle. Clone tool used to remove part of a seat in the bottom left corner.

The same spot on the Eldred river with high water flows, shutter speeds of 1/20 and 1/640 of a second.
Long exposure shot of Thames barriers. I personally prefer high tide. Normally I check it online before going out but not this time:-).

Along the shore yesterday. My usual way of shooting water is with a very slow shutter speed but it's near impossible from a boat.

The first production Leitz cameras are distinctive in that they have a "hockey stick" infinity stop, and the word "Leica" does not appear on them.
This was taken through one of the very dusty, dirty, cobwebbed windows (see accompanying images). I rubbed a clean spot on the outside of the glass (I could do nothing about the dirt and webs on the inside) placed the camera against the glass to hold it still, opened the lens to F4, pushed the ISO to 3200, tried to get out of the light, and I was surprised to see I got a shutter speed of 1/20th sec!
I wasn't happy with the colur palette and did not want this to be a simple illustration of the interior, so used FilmPack7 to simulate Kodak Elite Color 200 and added a neutral frame.
Penrhos Cottage is a tiny cottage that was once home to a family of 12! It is a typical North Pembrokeshire thatched cottage that has survived almost unchanged since the 19th Century. Built as an ‘overnight’ cottage in about 1800, it was later rebuilt in stone.

Forgot to check shutter speed LOL, surprised turned out at 1/800 as it should be at least 1/2000 or more.
Thanks for viewing, comments welcome 😃

Lack of water. During the summer I found a woodland in the Ardennes with a few very nice photographic areas. We had a very dry and hot summer and due to that the river was completely dried up. Several weeks ago I went back to this place and captured this image. After a few days of heavy rainfall the river had a bid of water running. It looked very promising for autumn, I thought. During a visit yesterday I had to witness an empty river once again…
