MOTION IS A SECONDARY EFFECT OF THE SHUTTER SPEED

It's not really a "secondary" effect, it's more accurate to say it's the main tradeoff when setting shutter speed. Same with image noise with a higher ISO. By your logic, you'd be trying to claim a shallow depth of field is a "seconadry effect" of shooting wide open. Depending on the type of shot, that is often the primary intent.

    I'm really disturbed that multiple people here wanted to see him get assassinated. It's one thing to hate him, but another entirely to want to see him get shot in the head in front of the entire count

    She was born premature and spent a month in the NICU. She was only 4lbs when she was born! She has OT and PT for low tone. She is doing incredibly and I’m truly amazed by her every. single. day. Tiny

I need some clarification. WTF point are you trying to argue with this post, because as someone in the world of photography, your post reads like spaghetti. 

Nothing I said in that post is inaccurate. You don't get blurring of your subject unless there's motion (technically you can get blurring if the subject is outside the focal plane, but that's obviously not what we're talking about given that the context here is a professional photographer.)

My point is that even at f/1.6, a shutter speed of 1/8000 still seems like overkill, but maybe not uncommon for a sensor that's really sensitive and if he wanted to protect against a scenario where capturing motion is in fact needed (e.g. Trump falls down, someone tries to rush the stage, etc.)

The right's on a cancel culture crusade at the moment, so you can pretty much bet on it.

I am not sure it identifies as a she

You think they had a job?

You’re speaking about it from an artistic perspective and the intent of the photographer; I’m speaking about it from a scientific one because the refuting of his points requires speaking about it from a scientific perspective.
 

Everything in the triangle has a primary function of how much light is passed through or gathered. There are other secondary effects, yes, but the primary function of anything on the triangle is light.
 

If I am shooting a portrait and I want a blurred background, I grab a telephoto lens to make my subject look skinny and open my aperture up. Now, the tight DOF is what my primary artistic objective was in picking the f stop. Because I have more light coming through because of the wide open aperture, what do I need to do to either the sensitivity or the shutter speed?

Can I say "it" lost its job if it had a job?

Uhh yeah exactly dude, the "intent of the photographer" is what the entire conspiracy theory is based on. The theory is that he purposefully set his shutter speed as high as it could go because he knew everything was staged and he needed to be able to pull off a motion capture shot of the bullet trace.

To be clear, as I've said countless times now, I don't think it was staged and I am not reading further into it because of the shutter speed aspect. Not sure where your other post went, but I'm agreeing with your larger point on this man.

Once again you don’t answer the question. Your shtick is getting old.

@paco you're not smelling your farts enough, if your solar powered house doesn't have power.  Guess the e-mach ain't getting the juice either.

Don't F'n get me started.  The FIRST week i've been gone for work during the pandemic we had our first extended power outage.  We paid good money for the iQ8 micro inverters which allow for a local grid (I.E., you can use your panels during an outage during the day).  Problem is.... f'n things didn't kick in.  So by about 5 PM yesterday our battery was completely drained when we SHOULD have been recharging it during the day and blasting the AC.

If I was home I could have worked with the solar company to triage the problem. <_<

I don't get the shutter speed conspiracy.  What does it have to do with anything?  "Proof" that he was waiting for a photo op? Is that it?

We are just at the surface as to how deep this conspiracy goes!!!!

I assumed your question was rhetorical, but yes you obviously bump up the shutter speed to compensate for a lower f-stop. If you're shooting facing the sun, you might even need to add an ND filter. But he wasn't shooting into the sun, and he was next to the stage shooting at a fairly wide angle. If you honestly don't think 1/8000 is overkill that's fine. On the surface it doesn't make sense to me, but maybe it does come down to how powerful the sensor is.

If we're doing conspiracy theories at least make em sexy. I was in board with the "shadowy figure by the water tower".

i'll see your D list comedian and raise you a governor. 

 

 Gov. Mark Robinson, who is the Republican nominee for governor, said in a recent campaign speech at a local church that "some folks need killing” after referencing how the U.S. has dealt previously with evil. Robinson, who has described himself as a MAGA Republican, delivered the speech in late June.

I raise you the former president.  He shared a video of someone saying the only good democrat is a dead democrat.  End of story, it's not both sides.

"On May 27, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump retweeted a video posted to Twitter by the group "Cowboys for Trump" in which the group's leader, Cuoy Griffin, a commissioner for Otero County in New Mexico, stated, "I've come to a place where I've come to the conclusion that the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.""
