YouTube Video Added – Shutter Drag,

The inLIGHTin Workshop on YouTube

Here is one on shutter drag for you to check out. For those who don’t know, shutter drag is a term used when shooting with your flash. Dragging the shutter means that you are setting a very low shutter speed on your camera (so shooting in Manual mode is a perk here) to let more ambient light in and create movement. The flash (should be set to rear curtain sync) then fires at the end of the exposure to freeze your subject. The result is an image that tells a story of movement and motion. It also helps to bring out the ambient light in the background for a more appealing photograph.

Here is an example of dragging the shutter and zooming in with my lens:

The inLIGHTin Workshop helps support my growing family.

If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've attended a workshop, purchased some of my products or helped otherwise, then thank you! It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site.

If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a small donation.

The biggest help is to use these links to B&H Photo Video, Adorama, Abe's of Main or Amazon when you get your goodies. It costs you nothing and is a huge help to me. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them right from the start and I personally recommend all of them!
Thanks again to all for your continuing support! ~Michael
