When would you use shutter speed settings?
I know it could be used for a blurring effect on fast moving objects but what are some other aplications you might use it for.

I noticed that it can increase light in a low light sittuations buy slowing down the speed, but I was afraid that I might cause odd looking movement with the people in the shot.

Can you speed up the shutter in brite outdoor lighting ( along with closing down the iris) in order to bridge the gap between ND settings?
Or better yet, when do you start to notice odd movement effects?

Re: shutter speed

Higher shutter speeds will make the image crisper and sharper, at the expense of also making the motion more staccato.

Just experiment and see what you like, and at what speeds the staccato motion becomes offensive to you...
 
Re: shutter speed

I actually would go against messing with shutter speeds to compensate for lighting conditions, specially bright ones, as if you are mixing it will other setups in different enviroments with different shutter speeds its gonna look wierd. If you dont mind that or want to be "artistic" then go for it.
 
Re: shutter speed

Thanks for the info.
If you wouldn't use the shutter for light compensation, would it be mostly used for motion blurring?
Do you normally have it off?
 
Re: shutter speed

I've been shooting a short in 24pN with a 1/36th shutter speed. To me, the image is a little smoother and brighter than std shutter "off" (1/50th). I've shot as high as 1/250th on other projects for a different look. As Jarred mentions, I wouldn't use shutter speed exclusively to compensate for lighting issues. Rather, use it as a part of the artistic pallette (sp?) and experiment to acheive the look you want.
