Guess the Shutter Speed!
About the photo
A photo taken during the Italian F1 Grand Prix (not latest edition 😔) from above the pit stop lane. You only have to guess the shutter speed to win the game, but special bonus if you also manage to get the right aperture and the focal length 😉

What is Shutter Speed?
Shutter speed is the length of time the camera shutter is open, exposing light onto the camera sensor. Essentially, it’s how long your camera spends taking a photo.
A fast shutter speed is typically whatever it takes to freeze action. If you are photographing birds, that may be 1/1000th second or faster. Long shutter speeds are typically above 1 second – at which point, you will need to use a tripod to get sharp images. You would use long shutter speeds for certain types of low-light / night photography, or to capture movement intentionally.
For more information and examples see Introduction to Shutter Speed in Photography
RULES & HOW TO PLAY
- For this Metadata Monday I would like you to guess the shutter speed of the photo
- Only one guess per person, per post.
- No editing your guess - you have to commit!
- All metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
- We are not required to tell you what kind of camera was used, or what time of day the photo was taken at, or whether filters were involved (this adds to the mystery and the challenge!)
- For this game you have until THURSDAY, MAY 27 13 PM CEST
- Scoring: Is done using Hive Tips on your responses.
My scoring will be:
The 1st person to guess correctly (or closest): 8 Hive
The 2nd person to guess correctly (or closest): 2 Hive
The 3rd person to guess correctly (or closest): 2 Hive
Bonus: if someone guess the Shutter Speed + Aperture / Focal Length: 12 HIVE

nice shot. this is tricky as they could go fast or really slow :D
1/400, f/4 and 50mm
Indeed :)
f/2.8 - 135mm - 1/800 I guess :)
1/50s, f/11, 150mm
panned shot to roughly match the speed as it's speeding up out of the pit, looks like a bright day so a smaller aperture (which would also allow a slower shutter speed), cropped car so I'm guessing a longer focal length, probably with a 70-200mm lens.
2nd place, congrats 🎉
Quite close to the correct shutter speed. And you also got the exact aperture :)
Exact values are 1/60, F11, 100mm.

1/60 second. Panning. f/8. 105mm...
1st place, congrats 🎉
You got the exact shutter speed and also quite close with aperture and focal length.
Exact values are 1/60, F11, 100mm.

Oh dang! Woohoo! Thank you!
1/200, 35mm, f5.6
Pit lane speed is maximised at like 1/3rd of race track speed... And you can still recognise structure in the asphalt. I also have no clue about this stuff ;)
also... I'm stupid :D 1/200?? I must be assuming you have a very magical camera :D
there is panning in the shot, so if the car was not doing crazy speeds even 1/200 could be right
Tough one, let's go with 1/600 for the shutter speed. Capturing that much of the image I'm going to say you used a 50mm lens! I absolutely love our 50mm, takes crisp images like this.
For aperture I will go with 2.4. Good luck to others!

1/1000, f/4, 80mm
Cool capture! I first thought it's your kid's toy car seeing the thumbnail~😃
Me too Donica!
Haha... and you get up so early!
yes I do!
this one is difficult, let's guess 1/2000.
I am going to make a wild guess that it is almost stopped. So 1/125 and f8 with a 100mm lens.
f3.5 200mm 1/500
1/160, f11, 150mm
'1/1000 f8 85mm
1/500, f 5.6, 200mm
Really nice shot!
1/300,f4,150mm
I feel like it's around 1/180... either way, sweet shot, and I'm incredibly jealous of you for being there during the Italian GP! 😁
can second the jealousy part :)
1/80s,f8,16mm panning
3rd place, congrats 🎉
Quite close to the correct shutter speed of 1/60.
Exact values are 1/60, F11, 100mm.
