Your shutter can be slower.

Shutter is the most commonly used component in mobile phones and cameras.

Ensuring that your shutter is fast enough is the key to ensuring that the photos are clear and not pasted. In many scenes, your shutter must be fast enough, such as sports competitions, such as taking pictures of birds, or even taking pictures of your cat, Wang Xing and Xiao Lanxing, because the subjects in these scenes are all moving. The faster you move, the higher your shutter speed must be to ensure the clarity of the photos.

But in other scenes, the subject is still, or you want to shoot their tracks, so slowing down your shutter properly will have many novel and interesting effects. Generally speaking, there are two scenes that need to slow down the shutter speed to shoot:

In addition, the jitter in the shooting process will blur the picture, and both human hand impact and camera vibration are inevitable. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use a tripod or other equipment to help stabilize the camera when shooting at a slow speed, and at the same time, to use the timing shooting function (to eliminate camera vibration).

Shutter: 1/3 seconds

This is on the street in Hangzhou. The intention of shooting is to hope that only the model and the scene are clear in the picture, while passers-by just leave a vague figure in a hurry. This can filter out the influence of street people on the picture and highlight the subject of shooting. However, this photo was taken without a tripod, so it was taken by hand, and the picture was still a little blurred, so I processed it later.

Shutter: 0.4 seconds

It was taken on the Taipei overpass. Although the shutter is slow, it is not particularly slow, which avoids leaving only a simple light trace (which will be mentioned below), but at the same time it shows the dynamics of the vehicle.

Shutter: 2.5 seconds

Taken in Taipei 10 1, overlooking the night view of Taipei. Later, the effect of shifting axis was added.

Shutter: 3.2 seconds

Shanghai Yishan Road. In this photo, the oncoming traffic has become a light track, and at the same time, there is a Starlight Glimmer effect (street lamp). This is because the aperture has been shrunk very small, and the light diffracted when it passed through the lens.

Shutter: 8 seconds

Xiziwan Park in Kaohsiung.

Shutter: 15 second

Wuzhong Road, Shanghai. This light trace is even more obvious, and I also seized the time when the traffic was concentrated and shot all the way in the green light.

Shutter: 20 seconds

Freshwater fisherman's wharf. The boat in the lower left corner of the observation picture is blurred, because it will definitely shake in the water, so it will inevitably be burned during such a long exposure time. When observing the water surface, the ripples are not so clear, but smoother, which is also the effect brought by long exposure.

Shutter: 20 seconds

Shanghai zhonghuan road. Typical photos of urban overpasses are entirely to reflect the impression of urban traffic.

Shutter: 30 seconds

Shanghai zhonghuan road. At night, if there is wind and the clouds are not too dense, you can use long exposure (slow shutter) to capture the effect of such clouds. The stillness of the building in the picture and the flowing feeling of the cloud in the background form a good contrast effect.

Shutter speed can be slower, but generally slower requires the cooperation of B door and cable release. The method and principle are actually the same, so I won't go into details here.

In the final analysis, photography is a game of light and shadow. We record different worlds through cameras, which is the greatest pleasure that photography brings us:)
