Quick Photography Question

Recommended Posts

Can someone please explain these into the terms of someone that doesn't have a clue...

  1. In camera Multiple exposure feature (merge up to 3 consecutive images)
  2. Shutter Speed - 30 s to 1/4000 s
  3. 3 fps up to 100 JPEG

I'm guessing at this -

1. How they do that weird photo effect with the car headlights trailing? Or is that just a photoshop trick?

2. Time is takes to take a photo - variable to user preference?

3. Can take up to 3 photos per second to a maximum of 100 photos?

If anyone can explain it so that it actually makes sense - feel free!

Multiple exposure is when you literally take say 3 photos and lay them on top of each other. It's not how you do the headlight photos. Like this http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/2638495.jpg...55A1E4F32AD3138 for example.

Shutter speed, I probably won't explain it very well but it's how long the camera is taking the photo for. A long shutter speed of say 4 seconds and longer is how you do the light trails with headlights you were talking about. You use fast shutter speeds to take photos of sports and when you are trying to freeze the action. The camera needs long exposures when it is dark because it needs to let more light. Hence why a lot of peoples crappy night out photos in clubs are blurry. There are other ways of freezing action, but thats in next weeks lesson...

3 = Spot on

Excellent :) Thanks lads!

Also, what is the maximum zoom is available with a camera? I've seen the detachable lens which go up into the £thousands. Is it possible to achieve the same sort of zoom as a decent set of binoculars or a telescope and at what sort of cost?

B&H in America were selling a Canon 1200 f/5.6, one of only 20 in the world, for a princely sum of $99,000. It appears to have gone now though.

1200-1700 f/5.6 for Nikon users ;) (Yes I know its a Canon camera, it's been converted.)
