Street photography can be a thrilling and challenging genre for photographers of all skill levels. Capturing candid moments of people going about their daily lives, the hustle and bustle of the city, and the vibrancy of street scenes can make for some truly striking images. And trying new techniques, like experimenting with slower shutter speeds, can add a new dimension to your photography.
Christian's first time doing street photography was a memorable experience. It was a chance to explore his surroundings, to see the world from a different perspective, and to capture moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, all while in America's Playground, Las Vegas. And when you take risks and try new things, you never know what kind of magic you might create.
In this image, Christian decided to try using a slower shutter speed to capture the movement of cars on the street. This technique can create a sense of motion and energy in photos, and can add an interesting visual element to an otherwise static scene. The result was a photo with a blurred effect on the cars, which can be both exciting and challenging to achieve.
It's important to note, however, that using a slower shutter speed can also introduce blur into other parts of your image if you're not careful. When you're shooting on the street, there are often many moving parts to consider - people walking, cars driving, and even your own movements as you snap the shot. So, it's important to find a balance between the shutter speed and other settings, like aperture and ISO, to ensure you get the desired effect.
While you note that the picture may not be the best due to the circumstances of being in a car, it's important to remember that experimentation is key to growing as a photographer. Every shot you take is a learning experience, and even if the photo doesn't turn out exactly how you envisioned, you can still take away valuable insights for your next shoot.
Overall, Christian has enjoyed trying out many different styles of images while celebrating his birthday in Las Vegas with his close friend and model, McKayla. More images to come, stay tuned!
