Apr 7 - F for Freeze #AtoZChallenge

F for freeze, freeze time or freeze motion. Shutter speed of the exposure triangle is manipulated to freeze motion. Shutter speed of 1/500 or faster is recommended. Faster the shutter speed, better the motion freeze. Ideally, frozen motion is more effective when the background is blurred. I took numerous photos but could not get blurred background. The setting for the above picture are shutter speed 1/1000 sec, aperture f-1.8 and ISO 1000.

Sifting flour or flour rain is another example freeze, an archived picture from few years ago.

Camera: Nikon 5100

Aug 13 ~ Day 226 / 366 - Catch up day 2: Exploring, freezing time

After stopping time, I did the opposite here. Freeze time. I shot this in my kitchen which has no natural light. I had to use fast shutter speed and despite increasing the ISO, this was the best lighting I could get for the picture.
