Home > May 2008: Slow Shutter Speeds
Photo.net Monthly Project; created May 2008
For many people, photography is all about freezing a moment of time. 1/30, 1/500, or even 1/8000 of a second. But what about the power of capturing 1/4, 1/2, or even 5 whole seconds of time?
Slow shutter speeds give photographers a world of creative opportunities. Huge depth of field with small apertures for landscape photography, smooth flowing water in a image of a stream, or light streaks left by dragging the shutter when handholding, all are interesting techniques made possible by slow shutter speeds.
This month, try going out with the plan to shoot a series of slow shutter speed images. Then choose one image and submit it to the monthly project and show everyone what you came up with.
