Water Balloon, 2013. I used a fast shutter speed in manual mode at 1/800th of a second because the days we shot were cloudy and did not have a lot of sunlight. I used an ISO of 200. I cropped the picture, brightened it up and upped the contrast, as well as added vibrance and saturation.

Light Collage, 2013. I applied 8 different light drawings to create MY collage. I applied the use of the magic wand tool to select my light drawings, and feathered and smoothed each drawing to refine the edges. I also used the paintbrush tool to paint some of the light drawings different colors and used the filter palette knife on my tiny balls of light to give them a more haunting look because they are supposed to be "orbs of light" which act as spirits. I also used the blur and smudge tools to soften some rougher edges.

Shutter Speed
Fast shutter speed is used for things that happen in a quick instant or have a lot of movement to it, so that you can ensure you don't have a lot of blur on the photo. Fast shutter speed is best used on bright, sunny days or rooms filled with a lot of light, otherwise the pictures could come out too dark. Slow shutter speed is best used when you want to capture things over a long period of time, or the overall movement of something, like stars, or planets, or traffic flow. You should use slow shutter speed in a dark setting, because leaving the shutter eye open lets in a lot of light.
