5: Creative Blur
 

So far we have focused mostly on low-light photography and ways to combat one of its greatest obstacles - blur.

While we generally want pictures to be as sharp as possible, it's good to keep an open mind to the creative possibilities of blur.

By Controling the shutter speed and movements of the camera we can create and control blur purposefully, as in the image to the right.

Figure out how to control blur

Get creative and make creative blur shots

Helpful tips
Use a long shutter speed - if you can't manually set it, try to go into "night mode"
.
Take pictures of scenes that are very dark, but with a single bright feature

If your camera has a BULB exposure mode, try it out.

A tripod may or may not help
