Part two of my three part series, testing high shutter speeds with Fuji Superia 400. As I said in my
last post, I typically stick to shutter speeds 1/30-1/125, however I really enjoy the punchy colors and high contrast of other photographers work when they shoot mid-day with the higher shutter speeds.
Todays post includes bracketing shots in direct sunlight, as well as reflected light from a body of water. An added element has my friend and her young child walking along the beach.

In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with any of these settings above. I supposed it depends on what mood or look you want to set for your scene. If you don't mind a little blur, I think any of the shots with a wide open aperture and not as fast shutter speed makes for a more surreal feel. If you want colors that pop, medium aperture settings will give that look, particularly 1/500 or 1/250 at 5.6f. While any of these settings seem to work well for mid day sun, I personally think that the closer you steer towards 1/1000 and 16f the more your picture will reflect the scene less, as it will look much darker. (Unless you are going for that sort of thing.)
