Exercise: Shutter speeds
Below are a series of photographs taken of the brook running through the grounds of The National Museum of Rural Life, East Kilbride.
Unfortunately the sun was in such a position that the bridge at the bottom of the brook was over exposed, however, I was able to take a series of images showing the movement of the water, which was captured using shutter speeds of 1sec to 1/250sec.
I would suggest that the motion is sharply frozen with the shutter speed of 1/160sec and beyond.

In the above image you can see that, with an extremely slow shutter speed of 1sec, the water, both in the main flow and pools, takes on a milky appearance which shows the water in motion but does not really show its speed. |
 |
In the above image you can see that, with an extremely slow shutter speed of 1/4sec, the water still has a milky appearance but the pools o the edge take on the appearance of moving water. |
 |
In the above image, shot at a shutter speed of 1/20sec, you can see the water taking on, more of an impression of speed and the milky look fading. |
 |
| In this image the structure of the water is being shown and the speed beginning to be portrait. |
 |
| The water now, with the shutter speed of 1/60sec has now lost its milky appearance and the rate of flow shown. |
 |
In this image tha water is now beginning too have a frozen appearance and the stopped of the water not shown as much as the previous image. |
 |
| The water here has the appearance of being frozen. |
