Time-Lapse Photography Art and Techniques by Mark Higgins

This image was captured at 1/200th of a second to freeze the movement of the fairground ride; this
kind of shutter speed is also a good option for general hand-held photography to get sharp images.
This image is taken with a 2" (two-second) shutter speed. In this example the ride has moved quite a
long way in its circular motion. This gives the final image plenty of blur.
This image is taken with a 1/1.3 shutter speed. This still gives us motion blur but not as much as the
slower shutter speed used in the previous image. This demonstrates how the amount of blur can be
adjusted by changing the shutter speed.
