Motion Blur Photography: The Ultimate Guide (+ Tips)
- Small Apertures
When you change the size of the hole that the light comes through on your camera is called adjusting you camera’s aperture!This changes the amount of lights allowed into your camera to create the image.
shutter priority mode: the camera will automatically change the aperture for you
manual mode: you need to change the aperture yourself
Shutter speed and aperture settings are organized in ‘stops’.
-decrease shutter speed by a ‘stop’ = double the amount of time the shutter is open
-decrease the Aperture by one stop= decrease the size of the shutter opening by 50%
2. Decrease IOS
-adjust the ISO setting of your camera.
A higher number = more sensitive to light
A lower number = sensor less sensitive
3. Try a neutral density filter
filters = cut down the light passing through lens and into camera which then allows one to use a slower shutter speed.
