CAMERA/LENS TECHNIQUE - HIGH SHUTTER SPEED TO FREEZE ACTION

Taken in daylight using a Nikon D80 SLR on a tripod, this was taken using a FAST SHUTTER SPEED of a 200th of a second, using f5, and ISO 400. A fast shutter speed freezes action, as we see here, the subject is caught in mid air. A fast shutter speed means that the exposure, or time that the lens is open is much shorter than the human eye, so the moment is frozen, like a snapshot of time.
