My First Experience Learning to Capture Water Motion Blur

My smartphone was used to take about 80% of all the photos I've shared in posts. Regardless of whether there are other photographs utilizing reduced, DSLR, or Mirrorless cameras, I typically just utilize the programmed mode. Regarding this opportunity, I would like to share what I learned when I first attempted to photograph using the long exposure method. @teukuboyhaqie, a colleague of mine who is also an accomplished photographer, was the one who taught me this.

He and I decided to look for sunset photos today after work. The objective is found exclusively around 4km away and can be arrived at in around 7 minutes by bike from our office. Showing up at the area, he promptly took photos of the dusk utilizing the Nikon P1000 camera he carried with him, and I took photos of the scene from the encompassing area utilizing the Nikon Z50 which likewise has a place with him.

While taking pictures and searching for the right point, we additionally discussed numerous things going from photography to making intriguing posts on Hive. During one discussion, I got some information about how to snap a photo of the water stream that looks extremely smooth while the fixed items around it look so strong. He then made sense of that water that looks smooth is known as movement obscure, and the strategy to catch it is called long openness. He also said that the first step in using this method is to set the camera to manual or Aperture Priority. He explained that I should change the ISO setting to a lower value between 50 and 300 after that. The fact that this method already records a significant amount of light necessitates lowering the value of the light sensitivity. Moreover, he additionally made sense of the main part, which is to set the gap speed in the scope of f/4 - f/16. Regarding the actual shutter speed, it is selectable based on the camera's recommendations.

It was time for me to give it a shot after hearing such a thorough explanation. I moved the camera too quickly after taking a picture, which resulted in blurry images on the first few attempts. He reiterated, seeing this, that in order for the camera to take a perfect picture using this method, it must remain in a stable position for a predetermined amount of time. I tried it once more, and the results were quite satisfactory.

The objects I took were the rocks around us that were traversed by fragments of the waves heading toward the shoreline. The rocks were covered with colonies of barnacles. There are not many angles that I can take from this technique, because the wave fragments that I mentioned above only pass through a small part of the rock formation.

That's all for my experience with the long exposure technique here. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read this post. Feel free to comment, share, reblog, and upvote this post. I would love to get feedback from all of you who have much more advanced experience with camera operations and techniques. See you in the next post!
