These are camera techniques that allow you to capture time. These techniques allow you to capture movement in different ways, like capturing a fast moving object in a moment or movement that is being captured.

Short Exposure

Short exposure is a camera technique that allows you to capture movement in time. This is achieved through certain camera settings like shutter speed. To achieve this technique, your camera should be set to 1/250 which means that the camera can capture the moving object at 1/250 of a second. This allows the moment to be captured many times but also allows the movement to be captured in many photographys. The higher the shutter speed is set, the more photos will be taken at a quick pace.

Long Exposure

Long exposure photography involves using using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture stationary elements of images while moving, blurring or smearing the elements.
