¡»The trend
Nowadays social media enables an imagery record of our life. However, some prefer the non-digital approach and go for classic film cameras, which requires sophisticated photography skills. Besides, instant photos is a resurgent sensation among youngsters.(picture 2)
¡»Mysterious number
Have you ever taken blurred photos of moving objects? Check your shutter speed number! It represents the length of time of light exposure (Ãn¥ú) in inverse proportion (¤Ï¤ñ). For example, "60" means the shutter opens for 1/60 second, and "250" stands for 1/250 second. Therefore, the larger the number, the shorter the exposure time, and thus the setting of a larger number can be used on moving objects. (picture 3)
