TASK 3 - Fast Shutter Speed

Using a fast shutter speed enabled me to capture moving cars and people on bikes and freeze the picture.   I have put a couple of the photographs below (which aren't spectacular but just show the results I obtained using a fast shutter speed of 400).   I took the photograhps in Shobnall Park on 23rd January at around 11.30 am.  It was a bright sunny day.  I took my loaned camera from College a Canon EOS 300d with lens 28-80mm.  Battery was fully charged and there was no spare.  Memory card was 2gb.   For the photograph of the runner below I set the camera settings to ISO 400; Shutter speed 1/400; focal length 28mm; aperture f5.0.   I would have preferred something moving much faster than this but I had to redo this photograph as my previous fast shutter speed image depicted a slow moving vehicle (a steam roller with fabulous steam coming out of it !). The light yesterday when I took this was not ideal as the photograph looks flat.
