Shutter Drag Video
Steps to pull this off:
- use a flash, preferably with a trigger to offset your flash placement
- Slow shutter
- balance your shutter and flash with a higher f stop or with an ND filter
- low ISO
- Tripod for stabilization
Shutter drag is a fascinating photography technique that creates dynamic, motion-blurred images, giving them an artistic feel. To achieve this effect, start by using a flash to illuminate your subject while you adjust your camera settings for a slow shutter speed. This contrast between the flash exposure and the ambient light creates an engaging visual. A higher f-stop helps in balancing your flash, while an ND filter allows you to maintain a slower shutter without overexposing your shot. Ensure you set a low ISO to enhance image quality and reduce noise. Always use a tripod for utmost stability during such low-light conditions. With consistent practice, you'll master the shutter drag technique, unlocking a new realm of creative possibilities in your photography.
