Technique Page - Blurring

1.  You firstly need to ensure that you have your camera set up correctly.  You must ensure that you have the camera set on a long shutter speed (this allows the movement to be captured in the shot) as well as making sure that your camera is set to the 'white balance' option (not the usual 'flash' option).  We set it to this option so it matches the lighting source and reduces and redness in the picture.

2.  Now, you need to make sure the studio is set up correctly too (note, this a technique which could also be done outside on location depending on what you're shooting).  Using a black background, you must ensure that your background is protected from the light - you can do this using a polystyrene board.  You must also set up a continuous light source using the red light.

3.  You will now be ready to take your photos.
