Shutter speeds
02nd October 2012
Todays picture was taken on Lacken Strand in North Mayo. As you can see it was a very cloudy day , but still a great day to be beside the sea! Cloudy days are often good days for photographing water as the dullness of the day results in longer shutter speeds allowing you to experiment with moving water. When photographing water there are a number of different approaches, a fast shutter speed will freeze every drop, a shutter speed of say 30 seconds will cause the water to go misty and milky. In this picture the shutter speed was 1/13th of one second, slow enough to show movement in the water but fast enough that the water keeps its form.
