Home » Announcements » Assignments » Weekly Photography Assignment: Slow Shutter Speed

Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our favourite to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.

Week 162: Slow Shutter Speed

Our theme this week is Slow Shutter Speed. This week your challenge is to get creative with your camera settings and create images using a slow shutter speed. Show the motion of the ocean with a long exposure and a tripod or pan with a moving animal to give a sense of speed and action.

Here are some tutorials to help you:

Last Week’s Favourite

Here is our favourite submission from last week’s theme, Backlighting. You can view all of the entries here.

This week our winning image is by Pam Mullins who took this stunning photo of a back-lit bear. Not only does the lighting create a stunning atmosphere, it also draws attention to some of the more intimate details of the bear such as it’s fur and it’s breath. Nice work Pam!
