What makes a photographer be a better photographer is knowing the camera settings in depth. Photography is not only turning on your camera and taking pictures of what you see, it is also playing with every aspect that a camera gives you. Aperture and Shutter Speed can give you completely different pictures if used properly. Sometimes you will use shutter speed just to give some more light to your picture, and it is acceptable, but if you are shooting something that is moving you will get that motion causing your picture to be blurred. But in certain cases, like the one I am sharing with you, increasing shutter speed can give you an amazing result.
In this case I was on a train passing through an underground tunnel with in some areas it was just a fence. When I past through it I realised I couldn't miss that chance. I got off on the next stop and got the train in the opposite direction. I actually did that several times until I took enough pictures and I was happy with the result.
Having in mind what I explained before, if you increase your shutter speed you get blur, unless you are the one is moving and what you are shooting stays still or at least doesn't move too much. Then, the result you get is a trail of something that appears to be still but the surrounding is blurred.
You can see the result for yourself in these two pictures:
As you can see, if the picture had been taken with a low shutter speed the result would be completely different. Instead of getting the rails clear and the fence blurred I would have got just a normal picture with just a bit of motion.
Next time try to use this technique in similar situations and you will get next level pictures.
Good luck!
