Photography week
|May 18 2017

-

As the sun sets, why not head to the coast to experiment with shutter speeds and learn how they influence the way in which moving subjects are recorded? To make full use of the range of shutter speeds available, you’ll need a tripod to hold your camera steady, and ideally a cable release to eliminate any camera shake caused by moving the camera during the exposure (although you can also use your camera’s self-timer).
