Bob Martin is a British sports photographer who covers all sporting events. Sports photography has to be mentioned in this assignment because shutter speed is so important when photographing movement and there is lots of movement in sport!! Very fast shutter speeds are used in sports photography because the photographer will want to freeze the sports man or woman in movement. Sports photographers use a shutter speed of around 1/1000 of a second to freeze the motion and capture the action.
In the above photograph, it appears that Martin has used a slower shutter speed of maybe 1/80 of a second and he has panned along with the cyclist as he presses the shutter button. This creates a blur effect of the audience in the background but the clyclist is sharp, capturing the movement of the cyclist.
