Biker – Milo Baumgartner
I chose this photo because the subject of the motion blur is unconventional. It’s refreshing to have the subject that is motion be clear rather than everything that is stationary not be blurry.

Small Apertures help to cut down the amount of light that gets into your camera to help compensate for a longer shutter speed. In fact, as you decrease the Aperture by one stop you decrease the size of the shutter opening by 50%.
Decreasing your ISO is another way to compensate for the extra light that a longer shutter speed lets into your camera as it impacts the sensitivity of your digital camera’s image sensor. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive and the same is true for the opposite.
Neutral density filters can also be used cut down the light passing through your lens and into your camera which in turn allows you to use a slower shutter speed.
