Answer 1

Since this just sounds like a homework assignment, I'll leave out all the correct discussion about film speed, conditions, etc., and give the obvious traditional answers.

1 - B
2 - 1/1000
3 - 1/250
4 - 1/60
5 - 1/30

I guess I can't leave this without any comment, either... There is no "slowest used to photograph a person," but I'm figuring it must have something to do with the subject moving. It was my choice by process of elimination.

#2 and #3 might be reversed by some. If it's REALLY bright sun, you might want to use 1/1000. 1/250 is usually considered the MINIMUM for stopping action, but if you really want to be sure, 1/1000 is a better choice than 1/250.

Answer 2

All of these depend on film speed, if you a very sensitive ISO (800/1600) then none of these will be fast enough in bright light.

1. When shooting in the dark
A: Most of the time B but if you want blur or don't have a tripod you may go to 1/30.

2 To stop action-
A: depends on what type of action. For running you might be ok with even 1/60 or 1/250 but for something like a golf swing you'll need 1/1000 or faster.

3.Outside in bright sunlight-
A: Once again depends on what you are shooting but generally 1/30 or 1/60 is best.

4. Slowest used to photograph a person-
A: Depends if they are moving or not. Shutter speed isn't really that critical, it depends on the aperature you get. If the aperature is too shallow you will only see a small part of their face in focus.

5. Slowest used when hand holding the camera-
A: This will vary based on who the photographer is and depending on the length of the lens, some people can't handhold under 1/250 but others are fine even below 1/30. Generally a good rule is to use at least 1/the length of lens.
For example with a 200mm lens, don't go slower than 1/200 shutter speed (so 1/250 would be fine)

Answer 3

When shooting in the dark, like a picture of the moon or a picture of a lighted ship across the bay, use B and vary your time (at this point measured in seconds, or minutes)

To stop action, you need as much light as you can and the faster shutter speed, f11 or f16 unless your camera, like mine, goes to f32.

To shoot outside in bright sunlight, if there are no clouds, determine your film speed, say ISO 200, then set your camera at f16 with the closest thing you can get to 200, which will probably be 250. If you are shooting with ISO 400, set your shutter f16 and shoot as close to 400 on speed. In these cases bracket y our shots, perhaps shoot the closest, then stop down 1, then 2, go back to the closest aperture setting and then open by 1 or 2 stops. Simply follow what is described above - it is the rule of 16s.

Slowest to photograph a person depends on the lens and the amount of light.

Slowest when handholding - 125 or above to rule out blurr from movement.

Answer 4

This sounds like a photography course assignment I gave some students some years ago...
1. When shooting in the dark, you would use "B" and you would shoot several shots at different durations, depending on the subject.
2. To stop action, assuming you have enough light, you need to use a very fast shutter (if a person is running at top speed, a horse at full gallop, a really fast vehicle...). 1/1000th second.
3. Outside in bright sunlight, you might want to shoot at 1/60th second if you use a small aperture to increase the depth of field, of you can shoot at 1/250th second to stop the action of people waving and running in a field.
4. The slowest I personally like to use while handheld is 1/60th second because if the person blinks it won't blur the image. Slower than 1/60th second, it is recommended that you use a tripod.
5. The slowest handheld I've shot has indeed been 1/30th second, while I leaned on a wall or tree and held my breath on the exhale and held tightly onto the camera with elbows at my sides to minimize camera shake.
