Shutter Speed

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which will be next month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth 1/4000
b.) the food eating contest 1/100
c.) the rock climbing wall 1/200
d.) someone working at a booth 1/160
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle 1/1600
f.) the Diamonds performance 1/1250

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
a.) the dunking booth 1/1000
b.) the food eating contest 1/50
c.) the rock climbing wall 1/100
d.) someone working at a booth 1/60
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle 1/800
f.) the Diamonds performance 1/500

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
Auto mode- the camera selects the shutter speed and aperture
Aperture Priority - you choose the aperture while the shutter speed is chosen by the camera
Manual Mode - both aperture and shutter speed are selected by you

3. With the camera near you, what are the shutter speeds available to you on that camera? You will have to turn the camera on to determine this - hopefully you can figure out what setting to put the camera on to determine the answer to this question.
Bulb, 30", 25", 20",15", 13", 10", 8", 6",5", 4", 3"2, 2"5, 2", 1"6, 1"3, 1", 0"8, 0"5, 0"4. 0"3, 1/4, 1/5,1/6, 1/8,1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100, 1/125, 1/160, 1/200,
1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200, 1/4000.
