![]() ![]() Here, we are capturing three pinwheels, all at 25fps. This is because the human eye does see the motion blur. Unlike still photography, a video without blur can look odd to the viewers. But, if you set these to play at 25fps, it looks natural. And find one that will give us a realistic video once stitched together.Īt 1/50th of a second, moving objects will be blurry and unusable in a time-lapse. We need to think about the shutter speed for each frame. When it comes to making our time-lapse video, we already know the end result is a succession of still images. We keep the 180° angle because it feels more natural to the human eye. You can, of course, go to smaller angles, such as 90° (1/96s for 24fps), but these are used for specific situations. There are no shutter angles higher than 180°. A film camera has got to have that time to move the film down for the next exposure. See the GIF below for a better understanding. But a film mechanism covered the frame for the next exposure without it becoming overexposed. In filmmaking, scenes were usually captured at rates of 24, 25, and 50 frames a second. Even the most advanced mirrorless models have a limit of about 14 frames a second. In photography, the shutter closes and reopens with every shot. This shutter mechanism allowed the reel of film to move to the next frame. In former times, when every motion picture used film, there had to be a shutter mechanism. The shutter angle comes down to the size of the shutter. And whether you want to achieve specific results, such as motion blur through what we know of as a long exposure. These are of course offset by the other camera settings. Low light areas require the shutter to stay open for longer periods. Well lit areas require the shutter to stay open for a shorter period of time. We know about the shutter speed. It is how long your shutter stays open to record the scene. Since time-lapses create videos, it will be important to know. You might not have heard of shutter angle before. One is the shutter speed, and the other is the shutter angle. There are two areas present in the capturing of motion blur. You need to understand that every situation will be different. Here, the 1/50th of a second shutter speed is perfect. It disregards the settings that give us not enough and too much respectively. In fact, it looks still.Ĭinematic motion blur is all about how much motion blur is enough. The fourth has a shutter speed of 1/800th of a second and has no blur at all. ![]() The third pinwheel has a shutter speed of 1/200th of a second, and only presents a minute amount of motion blur. We can tell what it is, and we have a good amount of motion blur. The second has a shutter speed of 1/50th of a second and is a little more pleasing to the eye. The abundance of motion blur stops us from seeing the subject as it is. The first pinwheel has a shutter speed of 1/10th of a second. You would drop the shutter speed to something lower, such as 1/125th of a second.Įach subject and its relative speed will need different shutter speeds. Now imagine you want to photograph the same sports match, but you want to capture that sense of movement. Closer subjects moving at a medium speed will seem faster than a faster subject farther away from your camera. The distance the moving object is from your camera also plays a role. This number can go higher for faster moving subjects. You would use a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second. Imagine you want to capture a sports match, and you want to freeze the subjects, as not to show any blur. Motion blur is linked to the shutter speed of any given photograph of any given scene. Please note you will definitely, 100%, need to adjust up or down from this depending on how you want the scene to look, and the speed of your subject.Buy from Unavailable What Is the 180 Degree Shutter Rule and Motion Blur? However, as I never want to leave you without at least some guidelines to get you started, so here are some suggested speeds to start with. Remember, it's your photograph, so you get to decide!īecause there are a few factors to it, unfortunately there is no “magic” number I can give you for shutter speeds to use. Secondly, it also depends on how much blur you want the moving object to have.įor example, do you want just the hint of blur around the edges? Or so much that they are a complete blur with no distinguishable features? How fast your subject is moving, and how much motion blur you want, will determine which shutter speed you should use when you want to capture motion blur.įor example, if you were to shoot a moving car at 1/200 you would probably get some motion blur, but if you used that exact same shutter speed on a person walking you probably wouldn’t. Alrighty, since we have our Aperture and ISO set, the next thing we need to do is set our shutter speed. ![]()
