Shutter Speeds - FX! Great effects can be achieved with the shutter. To really get good results, you have to achieve harmony, with the shutter, aperture, Focus Length, ISO value, and other settings. This also needs quite some experimentation to get the feel of how it all works. Actually experience with an SLR (single reflex cam) is very helpful, as you will get an understanding how a camera is actually build up. You can use shutter speeds, to add motion-feel to moving objects. You can use it to make time go still. Or to make time smooth out itself. Just messing around with it, can give you great effects, as you will see below. Below is again the same photo, but this time with longer shutter speed. Take a look at the water, you can see it looks smooth, no drops can be made out, whereas on the last page, drops could be seen. This really tells the viewer that the water is moving. Great photos on waterfalls can be achieved like this.
Simple leaving the shutter time open a bit, and moving the camera or object, might give you interesting results. Taking a photo of your TV, might be interesting as well. If you want only one object (i.e. water) to be blurred this way, make sure you got a camera stand. Otherwise the movement of your hand, will blur the entire photo.
