2. Capturing movement in photographs is something that most photographers think of while
photographing a fast moving object or a sport such as (motor racing, football, skiing etc.). In this
presentation, we’ll discuss a few ways through which you can do that effectively and easily. Take a
peek.
Introduction

3. Low shutter speed
Selecting a low shutter speed is the key to incorporating the effects of a movement in your
photographs. If your shutter speed is fast, your camera’s not going to detect much movement.
Thus, it would fail to incorporate the same in your photographs. So low shutter speed’s
recommended.

4. Fix your camera
There are only 2 ways to incorporate the effect of movement in your photographs. Either make
your subjects move or make your camera move. But if you do both at the same time, the effect
won’t materialize. So if your subject’s moving at a decent speed, fix your camera to almost zero
movement and take the photograph. That’s going to work for sure.

5. Decrease your ISO
This is purely a technique that acts as a form of compensation for the extra light (if there’s too
much light around) that’s going to come in as a result of your low shutter speed (slide 3). A higher
ISO makes your camera more sensitive to light and a lower ISO does the opposite. So always
choose a lower ISO setting at the start and you’ll be able to choose longer shutter speeds at ease.

6. Use shutter priority mode
A shutter priority mode is one that ensures that your photograph is well-exposed even under low
shutter speed setting. It’s a very handy mode to play with especially if you are new to
photography and are uncomfortable with manual settings.

7. Utilize a neutral density filter
If there’s too much light around, consider using a neutral density filter to cut down the amount of
light passing through your lens. In layman’s words, it’s like placing some sort of a sunglass on your
camera. This tactic works like a charm indeed and can definitely compensate for your low shutter
speed.

8. Slow sync flash
This is another decent technique of incorporating the effects of motion in your photographs. A
slow sync flash combines the effect of a longer shutter speed with that of a flash to ensure that
the elements in the shot are frozen on the spot while others look a bit blurry. This is one
technique that’s preferred by most beginners of this subject because of its simplicity.
