Choose the topic you're interested in learning about below:

  • Panned Shots -You see these on the covers of car magazines a lot. These shots keep the subject sharp while the background is blurred to show motion. This works well for bicycling and other sports as well.
  • The Ghostly Effect of Slow Shutter Speeds -By using a slow shutter speed and having a subject in the frame for only part of the exposure, you can create a "ghostly" effect.  It's quite neat, and easy to master.  Give it a try!
  • Light Painting -another trick you can do with slow shutter speeds!
  • Creating Silky Waterfalls -How to achieve that silky, milky, veiling waterfall effect.  (It's beautiful and easy!)
