Very Fast Shutter Speed

The above photograph captured by Jasmine, is an excellent example of very fast shutter speed. The subject, a diver, is part-way through his flip and his wet hair is creating a trail. The trait of hair would have only been captured with a very fast shutter speed to completely have the subject be at a full stop. Some difficulties the photographer could have faced is getting the complete subject and the water trail all in the frame. When the picture was captured, the depth of field changes causing the background to be blurred and only the subject is in focus. The movement of the diver is a backflip and the only way one can tell is by looking at the direction of the water trail.

In the above photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson he perfectly captured the "decisive moment". Henri Cartier-Bresson describes "decisive moment" as the visual climax to a scene. The visual climax of this scene are the two boys playing around with their jackets. The picture was not planned and he made the best of the moment. The boys act as the main subject and focuses one's eyes onto them.
