It is said that cameras “freeze” moments in time. But this expression is only appropriate if you use a shutter speed that’s fast enough to stop any movement within the scene.

This eBook is designed to explore some of the techniques that photographers use to harness the emotive power of slow shutter speeds.

A question often arises, how do you use a slow shutter speed to your advantage in order to create a beautiful, expressive photo? This book covers in-depth the techniques you can use when these variable shutter speed opportunities arise, and how you can spot them.

Sometimes a slow shutter speed, slow enough to introduce at least a little movement into the frame, is better suited for capturing the mood that attracted you to the subject in the first place.

“When I have an emotional connection with a place, or with a person, I want to express that in a still image. To do that, I need to understand how the camera sees, and interprets, the things I point it at. Once I understand how the camera “sees,” I can use that knowledge to create expressive images.” -Andrew Gibson
