Evolve: Sean Davey’s Transformational Moments

I've always been drawn to create differently to others, especially when those others are on the beach creating alongside of me. With literally dozens of other big lenses on the beach, one knows that most are simply capturing the moment at the standard 1000th of a second or there-abouts. I like to capture the velocity; the angle of trajectory even. This can be done by using a much, much slower shutter speed (in this case; 1/50th of a second). Because the camera shutter is effectively open 20 times longer than at 1000th of a second, you are capturing 20 times longer exposure. You're capturing a lot more, which equates to speed. I know from the nature of working with such slow shutter speeds that not one other photog' on that beach had exactly the same image as me, even if others there were also dabbling with slower shutter speeds. The end result is that I get the unique shot out of the bunch. Don't be afraid to mix it up and try different technique. It will help to define your own signature style. Photo: Sean Davey
