How to take slow photography?

Slow photography can shoot dynamic images with slow shutter speed and proper exposure, which allows us to see more dynamic details in static images.

The following are some aspects that should be paid attention to when shooting slow photography:

1. Select the appropriate equipment.

Choose a camera that supports manual control of shutter speed and aperture size, and use it with telephoto lens or wide-angle lens. In addition, stable equipment such as tripod is needed to ensure clear and stable picture.

2. Adjust the camera settings

Put the camera in manual mode, reduce the shutter speed appropriately under the condition of low ISO and reasonable aperture, and capture more dynamic details. It is best to shoot before shooting, and adjust the shutter speed appropriately according to the light and the action of the subject.

Shoot a still scene

Shoot static scenes, such as waterfalls, starry sky, glaciers, etc. , you can use a long shutter speed to record the trajectory of the object, and at the same time you can present interesting dynamic effects. Fix the camera with a tripod to ensure that the picture does not shake.

4. Master the skills of sports photography.

When shooting a moving object, by choosing the appropriate shutter speed and aperture size, we can capture the details of the moving object and the background at the same time and create an interesting dynamic picture. It is necessary to adjust the focus tracking mode and shooting angle when shooting to achieve the best effect.

5. Make slow photography video

Post-production software is used to splice multiple shot picture clips together to produce high-definition slow-motion photography video. In the editing process, you can also adjust the brightness, saturation and other parameters of the picture to make the final effect better.

Generally speaking, slow photography needs to have strong strength in photography technology and post-production. Only through constant trial and practice, combined with their own characteristics and style, can we shoot excellent slow-motion photography.

6. The difference between slow photography and time-lapse photography:

1) Slow is to slow down the shutter speed to get the desired effect. Time-lapse photography takes a picture every few seconds, and even dozens of pictures are taken for dynamic display.

2) Slow photography requires a tripod to fix the camera before shooting.

3) Time-lapse photography mainly focuses on natural scenery, urban humanities and biological activities. In nature, such as cell division, egg hatching, solar eclipse, cloud change, astronomical geography, urban change, urban life, transportation, scientific research and other topics.

4) Slow photography uses the shutter speed below 1/30 seconds to take photos. When slow photography is used, moving objects will leave moving images on the negative when exposed.
