The settings of your reflex camera are identical to those of professional photographers have been in years. But do you know how they are used and how they can be your photos?

If you grew up with an “A” and Shoot ‘camera and just jump with a new digital reflex, not only do they leave car. It is a waste of good techniques, but implies that you always point your equipment and take a camera. The key to improving your photography is to learn to use your settings manually.

One of these parameters is Shutter Speed. It’s fun to try and easy to see the results in your photos. Although we usually try to freeze our subject with shutter as quickly as possible, it can make a big use by the effects of a slow shutter for capturing motion effects.

To try to, you can use your camera to automatic diaphragm, in this case, you can shutter and the camera takes care of the iris. Or you can choose entirely by hand and set two parameters. Please note that your exposure balanced, any movement in time of closure of a parameter with the movement of the iris of the arrangement.

Remember that more and more a foot slow shutter for photos.

Here are five big ideas for the collection of major motion effects, simply by slowing closure of your time for the movement of the subject. If you have not tried before to have fun and are excited about the results.

Slow Shutter Speed Subject # 1 Waterfalls. This is the first obvious choice. You have certainly seen the effects of water flowing in silky photos, but perhaps did you ask how it is done. Just enter your camera at a very slow speed, about a second or half a second, and see the results. The slow movement silky effect is not always the best option. For each case, the water, you should try, a few hours, which works to a better solution for this issue.

Slow Shutter Speed Subject # 2 Cars in the night. If you have photos at night are relatively long shutter speeds, anyway. If you try sealing a second, two seconds, ten seconds and even more, you can see some surprising results. The lights vehicle flow is light colored, far from the distance. More traffic you can see, all the more remarkable, the impact may be.

Slow Shutter Speed Subject # 3 Lightning. People often ask me how I flash photos. Some imagine, it takes a software component plug super-reflexes on the image exactly the right time. The truth is, my approach is exactly the opposite.

First, I would expect a storm (night) with a lot of lightning, in particular, that the range of lightning also appears in a photograph. I shutter to take the “B” recruitment, due to open me on the trigger for any length of time that I have. So I wait until the flash on the flash. I can only catch a flash of lightning flashes or by clicking the shutter open for more.

Slow Shutter Speed Issue # 4 Waves. The movement of water in a waterfall can also be applied on the beach, even if you do not see most often in photography. During the visit the beach, experiment with different speeds trigger. Sometimes you will notice that the movement smooth the effects are just as good as the freezing of a fast shutter.

The murky aspect of the slow moving water quickly captured with the shutter speed can be very effective, where the waves are fails or swirling rock.

Slow Shutter Speed Subject No. 5 Foules. Many people moving in different directions can be a fascinating movement in a photograph. You do not need shutter speeds very slow to grasp some fine results. Photo shows some 1/4sec blur important, but, of course, you can exaggerate the effect, even slowly.
