Technical Shoot - Shutter Speed

For this shoot, I am going to focus on photographing vehicles and people using a variety of different shutter speeds. I am going to be doing this shoot around the busy roads both near college and where I live, I am going to do this shoot all day so I can do it in bright natural lighting and in darkness so I can see lights. To do this shoot I am going to set up a tripod wherever I chose to take my photographs and switch between fast and slow shutter speed so I can compare the effects on the images. Although I already can hazard a guess at what the results will be, it will still be an interesting experiment because I will be able to get interesting photographs of moving cars and people moving around. Below is an example of what I would like my images to look like:




For my photo shoot I will need my camera (Nikon 810) and a tripod. I will also bring with me a spare battery in case my other one goes flat and I will also be bringing a spare SD in case I run out of memory. For this shoot I will be switching between a number of different settings: during the day time there will be natural lighting so I will need a lower ISO compared to when shooting at night. I am also experimenting with different shutter speed so those setting will be different slow, probably ranging from 1/125 to 10". 

There is not an obstacle I can think of that will effect my shoot too dramatically, only being told I cannot photograph, as I will be using the public for my images but I can over come that by deleting the images if a certain person does not want them on my camera. I believe that this photo shoot will help me progress as it will give me a greater understanding and more experience of using different shutter speeds, but it will also hopefully give me some interesting street photographs that can be used as one of my final images.
