Find an example of a photograph where the photographer has used a very fast shutter speed and describe the subject matter including the background. Discuss any technical difficulties the photographer may have encountered and how he or she may have overcome them.

• Discuss what happened to the depth of field and why. 
• Discuss weather the image gives you the feeling of movement, stating the reasons for your conclusion.

The photo above uses fast shutter speed. The main subject is of matches falling unto the ground. The photographer caught the fact moment before it hit flat. The matches look like they could of been placed in that spot, in a way. The subject is still in motion and the background is still at the same time. I think the photographer took many shots before this one to get the perfect picture. I think taking this picture could of taken tons of patience and time.

• I don't really see any Depth of Field in this picture. I think the subject its self and the background are both still and we don't really draw our eyes to the main subject while another part of the picture is blurry. 
• This image gives me the felling of movement because it is literally in mid movement. It is one single shot of matches falling until it hits the floor and I think it is very cool.
