Ball of Light, 2013. Extra Credit, taken at home. On my camera, I used the "Long Exposure- 15 second" setting. I also used an ISO of 100. In Photoshop, I cropped out most of the picture except for the ball, and I also applied more vibrance to make the ball stand out more.

To me, shutter speed is catching a moment in time that the eye cannot capture. A fast shutter speed, will capture a moment exactly as it happened, without blur. A slow shutter speed will cause a blur and catch the light in the picture.

Water Balloons. I used fast shutter speed to capture the ball of water that occurs right after you pop it. One balloon had blue dye in it. Taken ay my house, and in school.
