Dragging the shutter photography technique
December 1, 2008
Filed under PHOTOGRAPHY
A particular technique that I always love is dragging the shutter to go for a really long exposure and I’m always very amazed by the results. That was the first technique I learnt actually. Though I must say I didn’t really learn much from joining those photography courses back then, it still did taught me a thing or two on the basic like the aperture and the shutter speed. Thanks to the technology in today’s world, there is the internet and forums where we can find and read up just about anything we want to know about photography and of cos to study and learn how the professional shoot by looking at their pictures and reading people’s critiques.
The first place that those clubs and societies brought us to are usually the Bird Park or the Botanical Garden and mine was the Bird Park. It was there that I made my first attempt on long exposure to capture the man made waterfall inside. From there, I learn, study, improve, read up, practice again and again and the following pictures are what I’ve taken over the years.
