My first assignment for my photojournalism class at SFSU was on shutter
speed. The top photo captured at Twin Peaks has a focused background while the
subjects are in motion caused by a shutter speed of 20 seconds on a tripod;
this photo demonstrates blur. The second photo is baby Nia at Delores Park
being pushed on a swing by her mother. This is a freeze photo, capturing the
motion in a still shot with a shutter of 1/250 of a second. The third and last
photo was taken in the Castro District with the man in the middle being the
center of attention. I attempted to "pan" by setting my cameras
shutter at 1/6 of a second and moving with the direction of my subject.
