Today I decided that I wanted to go out and take a photo of blurred pedestrians walking down a street, using a slow shutter. I’d never tried this before but I thought I knew what to do. I used both of my ND filters (an ND4 and an ND8) to limit the amount of lightContinue reading “Slow shutter”

Grandad, my mum and my uncle in Florence
