Blur - Technique

blur is created through using long exposures to capture motion. To create a blur style image, you need to set your shutter speed to something under 1/60 of a second, the speed of the shutter depending on how fast your subject is moving. Due to the length of the shutter speed, lots of light will be let into the shutter, therefore it is important to set your aperture to a high f stop value e.g f16, as this will create a narrow opening at the end of the camera, restricting the amount that is let in. You will also need to adjust the ISO settings to 100, which means the camera is not very sensitive to light. In addition to how you set the camera, you will need to use a tripod, as a long shutter speed will mean the camera will be more susceptible to camera shake.
