Photographing movement: shutter speeds Part 1

With this project, I'm getting a feel for how the camera records movement. I set my camera on my tripod, and had my subject wear light clothing and walk in front of row of dark evergreen bushes and dark fence. I photographed the subject from 1/1000 secs all the way to two seconds. I haven't figured out how to move the photos around on these blogs posts after I upload them to the new post box, so I'm breaking this into two parts. The first part is 1/1000 down to 1/60th. it was a bright sunny day and I was using 100 speed film with a yellow filter. I added a neutral density filter for the longest shutter speeds.



1/1000, everything sharp.



1/500th, still sharp.



1/250th, still sharp.


1/125th, still pretty sharp, but looks like soft, although it's kind of hard to tell on these small pics.


1/60th. Can see the edges are softer all around the subject, especially noticeable on the foot and legs.
