Movement effects are a great way to improve the impact of your photography. You may think it is just a simple matter of playing with shutter speed, but there is a little more to it than that.

In photography, the use of shutter speeds to control moving subjects may seem self-explanatory. But beginners be warned: there is more to this important skill than meets the eye.

The main principles of shutter speed and movement are easy to visualise. Your shutter is open for a certain period of time, and any movement that occurs during that time will be captured in the exposure. The longer you leave the shutter open and/or the faster the subject is moving, the more blurring will captured.

Telephoto and wide-angle lenses affect more than just magnification in your photography. You can also gain control over depth of field and perspective. By choosing the best lens, you can dramatically change the emphasis and the impact of your image.

A new digital camera comes with a multitude of features, but one of the first things we consider is the quality and power of the lens. But how many of us really understand what can be acheived by creative use of lenses?.

Back when I first decided to become a professional photographer and get involved with photo marketing on a full time basis, I thought - foolishly - that all I had to do was practice and study all the latest techniques for creating stunning images!…WRONG!

Back when I first decided to become a professional photographer and get involved with photo marketing on a full time basis, I thought - foolishly - that all I had to do was practice and study all the latest techniques for creating stunning images!

The Rule Of Thirds is an excellent starting point for photographers struggling with composition. But can you live without it? Well…yes, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t understand it.

Composition in photography can be a difficult subject to teach to others. This is because composition can be a deeply personal thing. What appeals to me may not appeal to you.

However, many photographers, beginners in particular, are not happy with the way their photos look. But often they can’t quite put their finger on why.

The room is small, silent, damp and without light. The interior air is heavy and laden with chemicals, some of which could cause early death. The person inside receives no visitors. It is isolation.

Have I described a 19th century prison cell or a 21st century photographer’s darkroom ?

Those of us who have spent many hours in the agonizing yet captivating atmosphere of a photographic darkroom recognize the scene. We are compelled to witness –and direct– the birth pangs of each of our graphic creations. Yet all of us know it is contrary to human nature to confine oneself to such isolation and environmental danger. Such is the allure of the muse.
