Comparing fast and slow shutter speeds on water

In this video, Gary Gough demonstrates how different camera shutter speeds can dramatically affect the look of waterfalls and the sea.Fast shutter speeds freeze the motion of water, capturing crisp details in each droplet or wave. On the other hand, slower shutter speeds create a smooth, silky effect, blending the water's movement into a soft, ethereal flow.

Whether aiming for dynamic action or a serene, dreamlike scene, understanding shutter speeds is key to transforming your seascapes and waterfall shots!Text, image and video via Gary Gough (Pro Photographer)
