Slow Shutter Speed For Landscapes

Landscape shot its not just a shot where you point your camera and snap. But it is also a kind art where u need to imagining it in order to create an eye catching image. Most professional landscape photographer, taking their time when go out to shoot their landscape images. Early morning and late afternoon is the best time for landscape,(Golden Hour).

For this time I will touch about using slow shutter speed in landscape. By adding movement and motions in the images,It will make the photo a little bit more extra eye catching compare to normal point and shot image. But of coz sometime it depend on the subject.
Before you go and take your shot, do some research on what type of shot you wanna take. 1st, read some photography magazines or book about photography. take a look at some of the images that been taken by other photographer to have an idea. Then decide where in your local area you think
you can get the shot you wanted. Always have in mind of what kind of shot you wanted to create. Imagination is good. Draw in your mind.
To shot landscapes that you can add motion, you choose either a beach, stream or even a street or city night shot where you can capture movement of a cars.
Prepare your equipment, camera, filters, cable release, tripod or bean bag.
When using a long exposure, tripod and cable release is very important in minimizing camera shake. Filters is essential in slowing down shutter. when using long exposure, it best to use a setting of lowers ISO..100-200 and aperture ranging between f16-f22, small aperture can make shutter speed become slow.try to shot manual setting, learn using manual. Shooting raw will give you advantage because you can always change the white balance later.
