Ocean of Motion



In this image the car looks as if it were moving. Other than that's what it was doing in real life, catching it doing so can sometimes be tricky in photography.

Here's what you do:
1. Find a low lighted spot with moving objects to take your picture.
2. Place your camera on a tripod or window ledge, anywhere really, just so it's still.
3. Set your aperture to a high value in Av mode (that's the mode where you decide your aperture and the camera decides the shutter speed).
4. Shoot your picture.

The trick here is that if you set your aperture to, say, f/22, the shutter will stay open longer because the opening of your camera will be very small. Stationary objects will stay clear and moving objects will, well...move.
