Stopping Motion With Shutter Speeds

Stopping Motion w/ Shutter Speeds Data based on the average miles per hour (MP/H) of each item. A shutter speed calculator was used to determine the approximate shutter speed to each item perfectly still. *Not all shutter speeds are available in cameras and are to be used as a starting point. Many times it's best to use a faster shutter speed than what is listed. capture Stopping Motion Visualized 50mm | ISO 100 | 100 Feet The moon could actually be made out of cheese, but the only way to know for sure to land on it or take a photograph of it perfectly still, at 1/13699. Military jets are built for speed so they can fly in and out faster than the enemy can react. Stop fighting at 1/3704. Do you like photographing airplanes overhead? If so, Try stopping them still at 1/3279. Slowing these down requires super fast shutter speeds at 1/866 or one well positioned cop car. The government doesn't want you to stop a drone at all, but 1/597 will do it every time. Stopping a Jet Ski at 1/388 means you won't get wet. But at that point, what's the fun of a Jet Ski? Those long train rides can go much slower if you stop the train at 1/299. But who likes long train rides? A horse is a horse of course, of course until you freeze it at 1/239. Ok, it is still a horse even when still. Dolphins drive the speed limit. Ok, dolphins don't drive, but they can both be stopped at 1/209. Man's best friend is fast, especially when chasing frisbees, balls and sticks. Stop them at 1/49. You can stop a cyclist at 1/119 but not the sound of their but not the sound of their horns and bells. Your friends running too fast? Stop them at 1/84 or better yet, use a slow shutter speed and make them dizzy. Rain can ruin your photo shoot, so stop those drops from touching your camera at 1/30. Stop someone from walking away at 1/24 or just let them go if you are mad. from your conversation Freeze zombies in their place at 1/12 or run away.

Camera's do not have shutter speeeds og 1/239, so the better choice would be to use a shutter speed of 1/250 or 1/500.
