Play with slow shutter speed

I took my water fall shot with slow shutter speed at 2 sec so you can see the running water passing the rock (ghostly effect). This concept can be used to create the moving of light at night too. Please see my previous post http://www.digitalshuttermania.com/2007/12/photograph-night-photos-without-tripod.html , http://www.digitalshuttermania.com/2007/08/my-gallery-victory-monument_24.html

Let's play with slow shutter speed : )

My photo: F 13, Shutter Speed 2 sec

This is the good definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter_speed

Slower shutter speeds are often selected to suggest movement in a still photograph of a moving subject.

When an excessively fast shutter speed is selected, a moving subject can often appear unnaturally frozen. For instance, a running person may be caught with both feet in the air with all indication of movement lost in the frozen moment.

The exact point at which the background or subject will start to blur depends on the rate at which the object is moving, the distance it is from the camera and the focal length of the lens in relation to the size of the digital sensor or film.

When slower shutter speeds, in excess of about half a second, are used on running water, the photo will have a ghostly white appearance, with a reminiscence of fog. This effect can be used in landscape photography.
