Technique No.4: Motion and slow shutter speeds This technique is to use slow shutter speeds to show a sense of motion that gives viewers the feeling of speed and focus attention to the subject. Panning effect, as in motorsport events, are examples of such pictures. Using slow shutter speed to focus attention Technique No.5: Freeze Action and Movement While using slow shutter speeds are essential to give a sense of motion, freezing high-speed action is another way of focusing attention to the subject. For example, we know bikes cannot stay upright on their own when they are not moving. Freezing their movements in pictures already give a sense of high-speed action to the viewers.
