ScottRobertsonSlow down your shutter speed
Learning to control your shutter speed will have
a big impact on your landscape photos when
there’s something moving in shot. Using a fast split-second
shutter speed of 1/1000 sec will freeze most movement, such
as the river in our scene. Whereas slowing the shutter speed
down, any movement becomes blurred. The slower the shutter
speed, the more the gushing water turns milky, helping to
capture a sense of movement in the water. There are a few
techniques for obtaining the longest possible exposure. Shoot
in low-light overcast conditions, or shoot before first or after
last light. Select a narrow aperture to minimize the amount of
light reaching your Canon DSLR’s sensor, such as f/16, and
use the lowest possible ISO setting on your camera. But
adding an ND filter will really slow down your shutter speeds...LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
