Playing With Shutter Speed
Campbell and I decided to spend tonight playing with my new D40x. It was night, so all the pictures I was taking of people weren't turning out well, so I decided to turn the shutter speed down to around 10s or so. I got some great results. The picture above is one of Downtown Birmingham. For this shot, I set the shutter speed to 10 seconds and put it slightly out of focus. I held the camera in my hand and lowered the camera while the shutter was closed. This was my favorite picture of the night.
For the second picture, we went to a street in Homewood where the Christmas decorations were still up. There were a few cars on the road, so it added to the irregular motion. For this photo, I set the shutter speed to 4 seconds and rotated the camera on a tri-pod 90 degrees. The bight white light was a car that was driving toward us, and while driving flashed their brights. I think it added an interesting effect to the photo.
