Motion blur refers to the obvious flashes of quickly moving items in a still photo or a pattern of images like in a film or simulation. This amazing technique is also employed by photographers to capture objects moving at a very fast speed. Some of the most common places of capturing movement in images that photographers do is in sports or other vigorous activities.
The basic elements that are required in performing this kind of photography are clever use of shutter speed, aperture and long exposure. The motion blur effect is caused by the relative movement between the object, the background and the camera. When the object is exposed to longer exposure, it will appear sharper while the backdrop will appear blurry.
Following are some vital pointers for performing motion blur in photography:
- Decelerate and Extend Shutter Speed.
- Keep Camera Still and Stationary.
- Choose “Shutter Priority Mode” from Camera Options.
- Keep Small Apertures When Too Much Light.
- “Neutral Density” Filter to Prevent Sunlight.
Motion blur photography isn’t really an expert level skill in camera work. Even you can perform this by understanding the technique. For your inspiration, here are some brilliant examples of motion blur photography.
