Speeding up Photoshop CS2
As the resolution of digital cameras continues to increase, so too do file sizes. And when image files get bigger, optimizing them can put more of a burden on Photoshop and your computer.

A high speed flash for focal plane shutters is not new. It is about 50 years old (perhaps more).

Speed is a measurement of how much light is needed to make a usable image on light-sensitive material such as film - in other words, a measure of sensitivity.

Film speed is the measure of a photographic film's sensitivity to light.

Lens speed
The largest lens opening (smallest f number) at which a lens can be set. A fast lens transmits more light and has a larger opening than a slow lens. Determined by the maximum aperture of the lens in relation to its focal length.

Film Speed
Film Speed measures the degree to which film is sensitive to light. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or the American Standards Association (ASA) are both responsible for setting the ranges of film speed.

Techniques Glossary Film speed dial
Most cameras now set the speed film automatically using DX coded film cassettes, but if there's a dial you can usually override.

Shutter speed is measured in seconds - or in most cases fractions of seconds. The bigger the denominator the faster the speed (ie 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30).

Shutter Speed
The shutter on the camera is what controls how much light is allowed to expose the film or, in the case of digital photography, how much light is allowed to hit the sensor.

Shutter speed and shooting motion
The most common reason people play with shutter speeds is to capture motion. You can blur a train to emphasize its speed or freeze an Olympic swimmer in mid air. Long exposure (i.e.

Shutter Speed & Aperture Relationship
Notice also that the shutter speed changed as you stopped down your lens. At f/1.8 you needed 1/6000th of a second to keep the light from overexposing your image.

Shutter Speed
General
Shutter speed determines the length of time the shutter is open. It is the second half of the exposure equation, along with aperture.

Shutter Speed
Although, as discussed in exposure, the shutter speeds and apertures are interchangeable as far as exposure is concerned, they each have their own unique effect on the picture.

Shutter Speed
After purchasing a SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera, I found myself no longer shooting my photographs in the "auto" setting.

Shutter Speed
Refers to the amount of time light is exposed to the sensor
Values range from 30 to 1/8000th of a second, depending on your camera
As you rotate the dial, values change in 1/3 steps, eg. 1.3, 1.6, 2, 2.

Lens Speed Test
I was at a photo trade show a few years ago looking for "deals" on cameras and lenses. I was looking for equipment to test for my web site and auctioning them afterwards. I found a Tamron 200-400mm f-5.6 in great condition for $280.

The shutter speed is the length of time that the camera's sensor/film is exposed to the light for whilst taking a photo and is measured in seconds or fractions of a second.

With shutter speeds, each stop is a second or more, or a fraction of second indicating how long the shutter is open.
With apertures they are f/stops indicating the size of the opening through which light enters.

OK, besides the speed of your subject, the direction of movement of your subject is also important. Look at the diagram below which I use to explain this concept.

Use slow shutter speeds of 1/10s or slower to achieve the blurring. Attach a neutral density filter to your camera or use a polarizing filter if you have one to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens, ...

The optimal shutterspeed depends on the situation. A useful rule of thumb is to shoot with a shutterspeed above 1/(focal length) to avoid blurring due to camera shake. Below that speed a tripod or image stabilization is needed.

Problems Caused By Slow Shutter Speed
Blur, right? What's so hard about that? Using slow shutter speeds makes things blurry. But really motion is the problem. Using slow shutter speeds doesn't stop motion.

Speed
The most important performance characteristic of a CF card is the speed at which it can read and write data.

Speed and Accuracy.
Considering the speed of today's modern auto-exposure cameras coupled with super-fast auto-focus lenses, image stabilization is a remarkable feat indeed.

Speed
Sensitivity of a photographic emulsion to light. Films are given ISO numbers which denotes its speed. The term is also used to denote the maximum aperture of a lens.

Speedlights The trade name given to electronic flashes manufactured by Nikon. Spherical Aberration One of Seidel's five aberrations. It is a variation in the focal length of a lens from the center to the edges, due to its shape.

Speed. 1. The relative ability of a lens to transmit light. Measured by the largest aperture at which the lens can be used. A fast lens has a larger maximum aperture and can transmit more light than a slow one. 2.

speed:
A rating that determines the light sensitivity of the film; ASA (American Standards Association) and ISO (International Standards Organization) provide a standard measure by which all photographic film speeds are determined.

Speed (lens)
The largest Stop (smallest number!) a lens can provide. Tip: High-speed lenses are great for low-level illumination but limited in terms of Depth of Field when wide open.

Speed
A measure of the sensitivity to light of a photographic emulsion.

ISO Speed The emulsion speed (sensitivity) of the film as determined by the standards of the International Standards Organization. In these standards, both arithmetic (ASA) and logarithmic (DIN) speed values are expressed in a single ISO term.

The speed of the equipment makes a huge difference
So, how does one know if the equipment is good enough to handle the job?

ISO Speed & Exposure
ISO speed affects the shutter speed / aperture combinations you can use to obtain correct exposure.

ASA Speed: Light sensitivity of film expressed in mathematical values. Equivalent to ISO (International Standards Organization) film speed ranges. The higher the number, the more sensitive the film is to light.

ISO Speed
ISO Speed is an international standard value that indicates an image-sensor's, or film's relative sensitivity to light.

ISO speed - A rating of a film's sensitivity to light. Though digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's imaging sensor.

ISO Speed The International Standards Organization defined this standard for representing film or CCD sensor light sensitivity. The higher the number, the greater the sensitivity.

Film Speed (ISO)-An arbitrary number placed on film that tells how much light is needed to expose the film to the correct density. Generally, the lower the ISO number, the finer grained and slower a film.

Film speed
A film's sensitivity to light, rated numerically so that it can be match to the camera's exposure control. Film speed ratings increase as the sensitivity of the film increases.

Film Speed
ISO stands for International Standards Organization and numbers such as ISO 100 or ISO 400 etc. give the sensitivity of film to light. The higher the number, the more sensitive or faster the film.
