All three of these images were created using slow shutter speed.
There are three types of Special Effects you can make with Slow Shutter Speed:
The Slow Zoom
The slow zoom effect is created by placing the camera on a tripod, having a shutter speed of 3-5 seconds, and slowly zooming in the entire time.
2. Ghosted Image
A ghosted image can be created by placing a camera on a tripod and setting the shutter speed to 2-3 seconds, having the subject stand still for 1-1.5 seconds, then jumping out of the frame.
3. Light Painting
The light painting effect can be created by having a longer shutter speed, like 4-6 seconds in a darkened room, almost black. Move your phone around with the flashlight on. This image is a composite, meaning that each letter is a different image that was combined in Photoshop, then he added the portrait of himself at the end. so this image consists of 8 images.
Step One: Choose an effect you wish to create.
Step Two: Sketch out your idea, be as specific as possible.
Step Three: Grab a tripod! Without stabilization, you will just get a blurry mess.
Step Four: Make your photos.
Step Five: Transfer the images into lightroom.
Step Six: Tweak any of the settings like exposure, contrast, color, etc.
Step Seven :Export your best one as LastName_Slow_shutter.jpg
Final Image is due on Tuesday, 2/18.
