By choosing the right exposure time, you can shoot very sharp pictures without the need of a tripod. The exposure time is responsible for whether a sharp shot succeeds or not. With an exposure times of a whole second it is possible to create a blurry ghost-effect on moving persons. Very long exposure times achieve the opposite effect and create a blurr effect on moving objects. With a short exposure time it might be possible to capture a bursting balloon exactly during the short moment of its burst. At very short exposure times, quickly moving objects appear sharply frozen. The exposure time, or simply called shutter speed, defines the time frame in which an image is captured.
If the image is blurred, it can be assumed in the most cases that it was due to other settings, which have led to a blurred image (e.g. The Autofocus (AF) usually works very reliably with sufficient light. All of you who are going to shoot manually for the first time should switch the Autofocus-Mode. These three parameters have an influence on the brightness of the image, but also bring other side effects with it, which i.a.
What brings us a beautiful composition and a representative image, if this is much too bright?įor a correctly exposed image, there are only three parameters that can be changed: the exposure time, the aperture of the lens and the ISO value (photosensitivity). But to accomplish this, it is just as essential that we become familiar with our camera tools. Before the release button of the camera is pressed, it is a necessity that thoughts are given on what should be shown and what not. A beautiful photo alone can hardly meet today's standards.
