WIDEANGLE
1 Use motion blur
Thanks to modern in-camera stabilisation systems, you don’t always have to set up a tripod to use shutter speeds long enough to combine motion blur with sharp details in street photography. Ross Grieve is a portrait, commercial and street photographer, and a Lumix Ambassador, and says, ‘I love to shoot at 1/15sec to capture the blur of passers-by. I shoot in manual-exposure mode, so I have full control, but the shutter speed is the key to capturing these motion-blur shots. I vary the sensitivity (ISO) setting depending upon the light conditions. I shoot handheld but my Lumix GX9’s stabilisation keeps the buildings and stationary objects sharp while anything moving is blurred.’
