Stop Motion Photography Lesson 3

Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO

It is important to consider that many variables will alter how fast the shutter speed will need to be. These variables include the speed of the subject, light source and the angle of where you are taking the shot from. For example, taking images of a moving vehicle or a bird will require a much quicker shutter speed (1/2,000 or 1/4,000). However, taking pictures of something that moves at a slower speed (waterfall, writing/re-arranging letters) will require a much slower shutter speed (1/10, 1/30). Note: if you have a high shutter speed it will lower your depth of field.

In regards to aperture, you will need to manually play around with its settings until you get the proper exposure that you want. Do keep in mind that a high shutter speed will require a wider lens (f/2.8, f/1.5).

Finally, in regards to ISO, if you increase the size it will help your photos receive more light. Do keep in mind that the larger your ISO, the higher of a chance your photo can have "noise."

Overall, everything will depend on what you are trying to create. Expect a bit of trial and error in regards to this. It is still highly recommended you do all of your settings in manual mode as changing it to automatic can change one or more of these settings.
