Great question. I don't normally use shutter priority but only because if I want a specific shutter speed I will just shoot in manual. Another option is shutter priority with a specific aperture and auto ISO. I find that most of the time the lighting is consistent enough to use manual or aperture priority and just be aware of my shutter speed. To be honest, I don't mind a little motion blur, specially in the hoof area, just to add a little sense of motion to the image. Fast shutters will tend to be sharper but the story isn't always about sharpness. Controlling the empty space in front of the horses can add an illusion of speed too. My personal opinion is that composition is a major player and is different for horses coming at me or passing by in a semi-consistent focal plane. Of course that depends on whether I'm chasing a panning background blur or just wanting to stop the action. Shutter speed and aperture should ALWAYS be objective driven. |
