Contest comments:

Lodd: Ehm, the contest image is not fast shutterspeed... (2 years and 233 days ago)
jerostone: With all due respect, and before we catch a cold from the breeze caused by red flags raised all too fast, should the object in focus be distinct and clear, or blurry? (2 years and 232 days ago)
Contest Moderator: Fast shutter speed is defined by NO MOTION BLUR at all. Blur from a wide open lens is OK. FYI: to get water crisp sharp, it needs at least 1/2000, better yet 1/4000 of a second. (2 years and 232 days ago)
Lodd: wow, i wish my flash could sync at those speeds (2 years and 231 days ago)
nofue: You don't need that -- the flash fires fast enough to be a 'freezer' by itself, even at shutter speeds of 1/250… (2 years and 231 days ago)
itsmymoment: Agree w/ nofue...even a bullet moving at 800-1000 feet per second can be 'frozen' with flash at a shutter speed of 1/250 to 1/500...1/2000 is not necesary to freeze water moving at 30-50 fps. (IMHO and experence) (2 years and 231 days ago)

nita1983: how do you find out what the shutter speed of the photo is? i dont really know the technical sides of photography..i point and shoot haha (2 years and 230 days ago)

rrhall: actually 1/2000 is about right...Considering a bullet is solid and a slower shot will be crisp because its just combating the speed. However water, even in tiny amounts is constantly shifting making it much harder to avoid motion blur, despite its slow speed. (2 years and 223 days ago)
