1. To focus on shutter speed, I had to set the camera to "shutter priority" on the dial versus "aperture priority". On the top dial of the camera, I simply switched it to the "S" on the dial. Setting it to shutter speed priority focuses on capturing movement of what is in front of the lens.
2. When the shutter speed is altered, clarity of movement in front of the lens is either very distorted or very clear. The lower the shutter speed, the more abstract and the movement isn't captured as clear as a higher shutter speed would. With that being said, the larger the shutter speed, the clearer the movement is captured. For the first photograph, the girl in the front is the center focus. The people behind her are jumping, and as they jumped I snapped the photo. Since the shutter speed is low, the motion of them jumping makes the photo to be contorted, and their movement isn't as clear or captured as it would be if the shutter speed is higher. Comparing the photo with a shutter speed of 1/3, to the last photo with shutter speed of 1/1000. The people in the background look like they are floating, but really with the higher shutters speed captures them clearly in mid-air. 3. When to use shutter speed all depends on the photographers intention, of what he or she wants to express through the photo. For example, to capture the motion of someone running, a lower shutter speed would visualize movement. To capture a close-up of planes flying in the air, a higher shutter speed would freeze that moment in the air. 4. Notes on shutter speed -Shutter speeds are both a technical and aesthetic choice a photographer needs to make before releasing the shutter
