Actually it's super standard to use fast shutter speeds in broad day light lol. The faster the shutter speed the less light gets in , the darker it gets the slower your speed could be to make up for low light. The slower shutter speed more light gets in. You can also adjust the aperture of course to control light. He could have been shooting on aperture priority and easily gotten this. I don't think this guy knows anything about photography. Maybe videography since he mentioned frames per second but that's not really a term you use for photography. That being said, a journalist would want a fast shutter speed as well to make sure they are capturing every second.
Agreed. FPS is a video metric while shutter speed is a photography metric. 1/8000 is a little extreme of a speed for slow moving action. Usually you run that shutter speed for sports etc. That said, not unusual for full light photography. The photographer would have had to known an almost exact time when the shots would be fired and hold the shutter release down to get 10-15 images per second in hopes of catching the bullet as it whizzed by.
I used the sign as "level" ---- came up with a slope. For a 410' horizontal I came up with 25' vertical ----- which would be reasonable for the height of a metal building. BUT this trace looks low, if it struck his upper ear ----- two bullets, in a 3" grouping maybe? ----- and this trace wasn't the ear bullet?
You do it for a variety of reasons. Bur if you've got bright lighting you can get away with faster shutter speeds for a less blurry image and good color because the subject is well lit.

And faster shutter means sharper image as the subject has less time to move while the shutter is open.

Didn't the bullet hit the top of his ear? ------ this path looks wrong.
I have thought the same thing. Looks “level” instead of at a downward angle.

Interesting, how often does he use 1/8000 shutter speed if not to catch something in fast motion??? So many questions

...absolute ironclad truth...
...this is not a setting for portrait photography...
