Technique Useful For Capturing Moving Objects

By Christine Patterson


Photography is one of the art types that is indeed aesthetic. This allows people to keep memories in a colored piece of cardboard and keep it as proof that such memories have actually happened. There even is a saying that says photographs are the only thing that does not change which is true, although they are fading in time, they still holds special memories of places a person once have been in and keep it special. Photography has had several types and techniques especially when taking shots on specific areas and environment. One of which is the daytime long exposure photography that normally refers to taking pictures on objects which are continuously moving like waterfalls or trains and so on.

The problem that lies when using these objects as model is that it needs timing so they would end up stunning instead of blurry. Professional photographers know that there are several consideration to make the technique work. Especially trying to ensure that the motion is captured well enough to make it interesting and wonderful.

Now, long exposure basically is one of the ways to make amends to such problems. Photographers are trying so hard to learn about this technique because they could use it a lot on outdoor shots especially on moving models. But, like most technique that comes in photography, this too has several consideration that needs to get covered by.

Photography in general has always something to do with the light sources. It may be small or big, light is one of the most important factor which allows photography to continue its streak. The way light behaves its property is what gives photography a light to begin with. And because of that, its only normal to consider this when making a long exposure shots especially during those times when the sun is out.

Digitally speaking, as the camera shutters open and close, that is where the recording of data starts. The speed has something to do with how clear the object would be recorded even with its motion. And light basically would add on the factor of speed the shutter has.

So, moving on with the next factor which is aperture. That basically would be the setting on the lens which makes the light be in controlled amount so it would not radiate that much ruining the image formed. But then when using the long exposure, there has to be more focusing on the image. To make the light be enough and not too much on a daylight, try adjusting the aperture into a higher setting.

And to make it simpler, the purpose of this technique is to capture motion in an image form by allowing more light hitting the sensor in cameras. That is even when there are limited lights on the area only. The hardest part of this is that the shutter speed is meant to be really slow but if the lights are excessive, it could add light patches on the photo itself.

Yes, this is tricky and challenging but once a photographer gets a hold of how its done, it usually makes the images way magical and sleeker than normal. To make this happen, the camera has to be set up in a manual mode. That would provide one the ability to change the shutter speed.

To help one get a better grip of the procedure, they may need a tripod to make it happen. This would allow the camera to stay still for the entire capturing without any unnecessary movement to ruin it or cause the blur. Then set the timer for about ten seconds. That is enough time to focus on the motion to capture it effectively and smoothly as possible.
