Ever tried this technique?
It’s such a surreal effect—capturing still people in a moving crowd. You get that perfect balance between motion blur and stillness, and it makes your shot feel alive 👀
Here’s how to try it yourself:
🔶 If you’re shooting in bright conditions, throw on an ND filter so you can drag the shutter without blowing out your highlights
🔶 Stay as still as humanly possible—use a tripod or brace against something solid (I used a railing in this one)
🔶 Experiment with different shutter speeds until you get the motion blur just right
🔶 Shoot in Burst Mode to increase your chances of catching a clean frame
Give it a go next time you’re out! 📸
