As a photographer, sometimes you need to work on things outside of your normal day-to-day life and this project is going to help us (and you) challenge, grow and creatively develop your photography as a whole. Weekly for the next year, we will be sharing our images with you here!

Here are our Week 8 – “SLOW SHUTTER SPEED vs. FAST SHUTTER SPEED” images!

52WoA_8_Chris

CHRIS: Suddenly, my free time is all about horses. Fast shutter speed = freezing the motion of jumping horse. Slow shutter speed = my wife and her horse, Stormy, racing by with a little panning action.

SARAH: Meet Butler. He was the perfect model for this week’s challenge. As soon as I lowered my shutter speed he felt the urge to shake out his beard, giving me just the action shot I needed. (He was paid in ice chips for his hard work.)

AUTUMN: dance parties are always more fun in slow mo. it’s a life fact. yes I made my friends do the cover-girl for fast shutter. 1/200th shutter speed. yes, we owned the dance floor for slow shutter speed. 1/10th of a second. Now get out of our way while we are awesome.

For those of you interested in participating, PLEASE join us! The more the merrier! You definitely do not need to be a professional photographer, this is something you can easily do with your point and shoot, cell phone, ipad, etc. You can comment with a link to your image here on our blog or on our La Brisa fan page or you can tag La Brisa Photography in your image on your own FB page or use the hashtag #52WoA on twitter and/or instagram that way we can share your efforts with everyone else! If you are interested in joining our La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshop group on FB, please request to join as we will also be sharing our images there too.
