Using Shutter Speed to Affect the Look of Water.  I explain how to get that mystical flowing effect.

In this video, I discuss how you can adjust your cameras shutter speed to affect the look of water.  How can you photograph a water scene and get that velvety, mystical look? I will attempt to answer these questions in this tutorial.  I use a tripod and ND filters to help me in my process.  I explain why both of these tools are necessary in most conditions unless you get lucky with the right lighting conditions for long exposure photography.  This video is geared toward the beginning photographer or anyone who has never done long exposure photography.

I did forget to mention in this video how I limited my ISO to 100 so it would not change and effect any of my other settings in order to give good lighting examples for demonstration purposes.  

I am using a Sony a6000 with a Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens on a tripod with an ND64 filter to achieve my desired effect.

I hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to my channel if you relate to my content.  It would help me out tremendously and I appreciate your support.

I attempt through my videos to discuss all aspects of photography for the beginning photographer.  I will discuss topics such as shutter speed, aperture, iso, white balance and the exposure triangle.  I plan of doing product reviews and taking viewers on photographic tours of the places that I go on my own photographic journey. 

I am a freelance photographer based in Newport, Oregon.  I am also a commercial drone pilot and work in Newport as a Real Estate photographer.  I travel the country gathering information to evaluate the structure of communication towers.  This allows me travel the country and visit places that I normally would not visit.  I love catching unique perspectives of ordinary things.

Thank you for joining me.
