Speed setting 0/1
Jun 11, 2019 12:23:41 #
I am using the 500PX app which allows people to submit their photos for review. Awesome resource. As a new photographer I like to drill down to the camera settings in the photo to give me an idea of a starting place in various situations. Often I see “0/1s”. I know it is the speed but can’t find any reference to 0/1. Is it 1 second, mean no value or what?

I don't know what the 0/1 setting is but looking at others settings is a futile exercise as the light won't be the same & that is what determines the settings. The only exception would be settings to slow down water to create the "silky" effect or changing an aperture setting based on DOF...

Which is why I never post exposure settings for images. Light is transitory, what I used should not guide another.

I think you guys are missing the point. I know the specific circumstance dictates the settings, I’m just looking for a starting point. What others are doing successfully is always relevant. More to the point what does 0/1 mean? So far I’ve had 2responses that do not have a clue. Guess that makes me 2/0

If you look at more than 1 pictures. And tell us what are the settings we may be able to figure it out. Also if you submit your own photos which you know what the settings are it would help also.

A look at EXIF data of an image will give him the speed settings of that image.

It means simply: the image file didn't contain EXIF data for shutterspeed. This could be intentional by the photographer during their edit process and / or the creation of the JPEG posted to 500px. Or, it could be an error or unintended step in their workflow. It's hard to say other than the display software could have been coded to display <blank> for the absence of data. Instead, they programmed it to show a nonsensical value. That's about all you can tell from this value as displayed. You'll many times see f/0, particularly when third-party or older / non-electronic manual-focus lenses are used with digital cameras. Of course, it wasn't a 'wide open' lens; rather, just a lens that didn't report the aperture to the camera.

It can’t be relevant unless all variables are the same.

If the software would display a meaningful value for some images but for some it displays a meaningless value then I think you're right. The software simply can't get the data because the EXIF isn't there.

Knowing the settings without knowing the light condition is useless. Actually knowing how much the settings deviate from the meter reading and the metering mode would be more helpful.

Totally agree!
