07-06-08 | Smooth Water
You know those "serene" pictures you see of rivers or waterfalls where the water seems all smooth and blurred out? That is basically achieved using Shutter Speeds. The longer you leave the shutter open, the smoother (or technically, blurrier) the water, or any moving subject for that matter, gets. Seeing as I don't have rivers or waterfalls in my back yard, I had to improvise to play around to see the results for myself. The first picture above would be the result of using, say, a standard point-and-shoot camera, and the second was the result of controlling the shutter speed (In this case, I left it open for about a second). I think I'm getting this photography thing...
