Josef koudelka

Koudelka was born in 1938 in Boskovice, Moravia. He began photographing his family and the surroundings with a 6 x 6 Bakelite camera. He studied at the Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT) between 1956 and 1961, receiving a Degree in Engineering in 1961. He staged his first photographic exhibition the same year. Later he worked as an aeronautical engineer in Prague and Bratislava.
Koudlka is known for his documentation of the Prague invasion.

In this image Koudelka took of the invasion of Prague , The Motion of everything in the street is frozen , The man on the tank and th tank its self is at a stand still, the crowed are clear and still and the smoke in the background is also still and frozen , there is no motion blur whic leds me to believe that the Shutter speed of this image is a fast speed to capture a clear still image.

This image also seems to be shot with a fast shutter speed, there is no blur to indicate any movement , and although the subjects seemed to be posed the sharpness of the image as a whole is that of an image shot with a fast shutter. i really like this image the gaze straight through the camera is somewhat mesmerising

Duane Michals

Michals's work makes innovative use of photo-sequences, often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy.

Duane Michals is known for using slower shutter speeds, he deals with ideas and emotion.

In the photograph the motion is blurred indicating the use of a slow shutter speed , The motion is captured and give a ghostly look to the photo.

In this photo it lookslike the shutter was left open for a longer period of time and the man only moved slightly so capture half a solid silohette and half missing. This is a slow shutter speed
