Shutter speed • Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter stays open when you take a photograph • It is useful for photographing moving objects. Slow shutter speeds on a moving object produce blurring. For example: A shutter speed of 1/30 photographing your child running around the garden, would result in a blurry image, 1/160 would stop the burring of the subject. • A slow shutter speed teamed with panning would create a great motion blurring effect, giving the impression of movement. • A slow shutter speed with the camera mounted on a tripod can create artistic light trails. E.g. Light trails from a car at night or fireworks.
What makes a good Abstract or Pattern picture? Any ideas as to what this is?
