Shutter Drag aka Tungsten Blur is where you slow your shutter speed to capture light dragging across your frame. It is best done in very low light. Wedding photographers often do this during the dancing at a reception because they can capture fun party shots with lots of movement around the action. Here is how to set up your camera:
Camera Mode: Manual
Flash Mode: TTL (no need to use Slow Synch)
1. Take ambient light reading and set your shutter exposure. (Normally around 1/3 to 1/15 sec. with aperture wide open.)
2. Subject should have little to no light on them.
3. Adjust ambient exposure with shutter speed. The slower you get, the more “drag” you will get.
Camera Settings for the above photograph: ISO 100 | f5.0 | 1/5sec.
