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.

This picture is a good example of a very fast shutter speed. It shows multiple shots of a droplet falling into a cup of coffee. The photographer also used a shallow depth of field, allowing the subject to be in focus while the background is unfocused. The only problem with the picture is the borders. It cuts the handle of the cup in half, and there does not seem like enough space above the cup. This causes the picture to seem cramped and does not please the viewers eyes. If they had taken a step back, the picture would have wider borders and would be easier to look at. The use of multiple frames in the picture helps create a sense of movement, because the viewer sees the process of the droplet and how it moves.
