Shutter Speed Question

[rafaeltellofournier]

the other day I was trying to take a picture of a building in a crowded street, moving my shutter speed trying to make them disapear..with no luck. I don't have problems at dawn or night but I can't make it work on daylight...PLEASE ADVICE...

Many, many thanks!

Put the camera in aperture priority mode and raise it up to something like F18... that will force the camera to use a slow shutter speed (You can also use shutter priority and keep lowering shutter speed until you get the effect you need, of course).

You will definitely need a tripod for this.

Great,

Many thanks...I was also going to try to use a neutral density (ND) filter, to achieve multi-second exposures without overexposing the image.

What do you think?
