Shutter speed is the speed or time that the shutter opens for the photo and then closes.
The photo I chose was a photo of myself jumping. The shutter speed was on 0.6″. I believe the photo is visually engaging because you can see the blur of myself jumping but you can also see myself landing on the ground.I also like the photo because it captures what looks like could be my spirit in the air and my body on the ground.
Spirit photography was very popular in the late 19th century. Pepole who did not understand photography were easily fooled.
