Technique Useful For Capturing Moving Objects

By Christine Patterson


Photography is one of the art types that is indeed aesthetic. This allows people to keep memories in a colored piece of cardboard and keep it as proof that such memories have actually happened. There even is a saying that says photographs are the only thing that does not change which is true, although they are fading in time, they still holds special memories of places a person once have been in and keep it special. Photography has had several types and techniques especially when taking shots on specific areas and environment. One of which is the daytime long exposure photography that normally refers to taking pictures on objects which are continuously moving like waterfalls or trains and so on.

Now, sometimes people would enjoy capturing the nature and surroundings. However, there are parts of nature which are in movement and constant flow, one could imagine how tricky could it get trying to make a perfect shot out of a moving vehicle or a flowing river. There could be blurry parts and some patches that signifies uneven distribution of light from the source.

Now, long exposure basically is one of the ways to make amends to such problems. Photographers are trying so hard to learn about this technique because they could use it a lot on outdoor shots especially on moving models. But, like most technique that comes in photography, this too has several consideration that needs to get covered by.

Photography in general has always something to do with the light sources. It may be small or big, light is one of the most important factor which allows photography to continue its streak. The way light behaves its property is what gives photography a light to begin with. And because of that, its only normal to consider this when making a long exposure shots especially during those times when the sun is out.

Another factor that plays a vital role on such actions is the shutter. This would be the movement of the camera that allows the image recording. This action can be adjusted through a customized shutter speed based on the need of a photographer. But for this technique, it needs to be as slow as possible to promote more time to focus on the recording of photo, making it less crispy and blurry.

The faster the shutter speed would be a potential mess. Imagine looking at a certain point and opening your eyes and closing it as fast as you could. Notice how blurry it gets, that is how the shutter speeds are supposed to work.

And to make it simpler, the purpose of this technique is to capture motion in an image form by allowing more light hitting the sensor in cameras. That is even when there are limited lights on the area only. The hardest part of this is that the shutter speed is meant to be really slow but if the lights are excessive, it could add light patches on the photo itself.

This would be the reason why aperture settings is need to be set of a higher setting. Thus, it would allow focusing way better than not adjusting it. Anyway, to ensure all settings are modifiable, go and set the camera on a manual mode. Then do the needed changes which were mentioned.

To help one get a better grip of the procedure, they may need a tripod to make it happen. This would allow the camera to stay still for the entire capturing without any unnecessary movement to ruin it or cause the blur. Then set the timer for about ten seconds. That is enough time to focus on the motion to capture it effectively and smoothly as possible.
