Original – Effect of different shutter speeds on photograph. In photography, shutter speed is a common term used to discuss exposure time, the effective length of time a camera's shutter is open. Slower shutter speeds are often selected to suggest movement in a still photograph of a moving subject. Fast shutter speeds freeze a moving subject on photograph.

Reason

Although we have a gif image in the article to illustrate the difference shutter speed of a camera makes, but I feel this image illustrates the shutter speed in a better way and has good EV. It is already a Quality Image.

• Support. Very high EV. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:46, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
• Question Is the pinwheel on the far left actually spinning? The 2 pinwheels on the right are slightly tilted, which I assume happened when someone spun them, but the one on the far left looks perfectly verticle, making me think it was never actually spun and was therefore not actually spinning when the picture was taken as the caption in the article implies.

• Comment Thank you for nomination, votes and question. The the pinwheel on left is stationary. Best regards, --Nevit (talk) 15:04, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Excuse me for asking, but does that go against the point of the picture? If the left wheel is stationary then it does nothing to demonstrate the effect of shutter speed... I like the other two, and the concenpt of the picture, but I can't see why you would have it stationary... gazhiley 13:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose based on principle I like this image, I really do but if the first one is stationary, then the picture is IMO deceitful --Muhammad(talk) 19:31, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose Faked so the caption/description isn't correct. No need to simulate this. Not convinced the right wheel is authentic either -- what's the pattern on it? There are lots of great images that demonstrate shutter speed but this is the most obvious and least interesting (colours are nice, though). Not really sure what this picture adds that can't be guessed from a mention of blur, whereas other possible images can be surprising or fascinating. -- Colin°^Talk 20:08, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose a good idea for a photo but I agree that we can get authentic photography of this phenomenon. --Pine^✉ 01:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

• Withdraw. I withdraw my nomination as per the statement of the author. I felt the first one was not stationary before nominating. I only checked after Rreagan007 pointed out the flaw in his observation. I began to think of withdrawing and gave it a good thought and decided to withdraw it. Thank you for your votes and I apologize for nominating before checking.--BNK (talk) 01:45, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
• I removed it from the article, as the caption there was inaccurate. I'd just like to point out, though, how difficult this would be to do for real without precisely adjustable lighting (which would be expensive), if you wanted the pinwheel to look the same at each speed.
