If you want to freeze the motion, the shutter speeds needs to be increased. On the contrary, if you want motion blur, decrease the shutter speed, but do keep in mind (as Synner said), keeping a value too low (like 1/5, 1/10 or even may be 1/15) would produce severe blur in the whole picture, making it usless...:) -
Ok, but then that motion blur would be possible only thru the decrease in shutter speed and that would require a tripod..!! Can't that be captured with making any other settings so that my purpose is solved without the tripod..

Well, if you can't afford a tripod, try resting the camera on a ledge or something. Lotsa people do that.

Here is something i clicked on the way back from Lansdowne, early in the morning
Didn't really frame it well, just point and shoot on my A570ISComment

The colors look SO vibrant. All the more reason to shoot during the golden hours! Lovely colors, really.Originally posted by Mik View PostHere is something i clicked on the way back from Lansdowne, early in the morning

A great shot. I'd suggest moving the big tree off-frame and the little tree off center. Also, try raising the horizon a bit. SOmething like this:

I did take 2 shots of this with different horizons. Uploading now.
Take your pick

This one was taken in Atlantic city. On the boardwalk.
Nothing special but it always appeals to me and ends up being my wallpaper

A normal fan revolves at around 90 rpms at #1 on regulator and around 200 rpms at #5.Originally posted by inder.cool View PostDamn, i tired the hardest shot..
Here is the equation at #1:
60secs - 90revs
1sec - 90/60 revs (~1.5 revs)
So, if you setting you cam to like 1/20th of a sec then the number of revs you will capture is 1.5/20 = 0.075 revs. No wonder you will get still blades. But, might see some ghostly perimeter too
Equation for #5:
60secs - 200revs
1sec - 200/60 rev (~3.33revs)
1/20 shutter speed = 3.33/20 (~0.166 revs)
Again near stand still with ghosts.
Now you can, kind of, calculate the shutter speed you need to capture full revs of a fan. As per the equation you need to set your cam for >1 sec shutter speed to capture fan's motion blur.
Aperture and ISO won't help much since it's a battle between fan's speed and cam's shutter speed. Whatever you be the aperture or ISO you need to beat the fan speed to get blurred out blades.
Note: All the equations above are approximations but should give you an idea of the shutter speed you need. A tripod is surely needed.

@Leon: Bloody Nerd;
didn't get those equations but have captured the spinning fan N number of times, for sure!

Sir you don't need any equations any more. You are the expert bugOriginally posted by Aryan View Post@Leon: Bloody Nerd; didn't get those equations but have captured the spinning fan N number of times, for sure!..I mean shutter bug . These are for us mere mortals .

@ Leon : pretty good equations fitted in though..!! Lets try if they fit in too..
@ Aryan : Have you captured the 'blur' effect of the fan..!Comment

@Inder: Yes, I have. I'll try and click another one and post it this evening or by tomorrow.
