How do you take a fast motion picture like this?

Do you have to change shutter speed or the aperture or something?

That is a long exposure shot. You have to use a long shutter speed like 5 or more seconds. But you have to use a small aperture size to avoid over exposing the film if you're shooting in daylight. If you have a digital camera, it will help you set the aperture correctly.



Long exposures are really fun at night. Here's some I did this summer on vacation. The shutter speed was 15 seconds and the aperture was f/8 on most of them.

Also, you need a good and rigid tripod because any movement of the camera will blur the image - unless of course you WANT the camera to move, which I have done before too. Try that while shooting Christmas lights.

The shutter speed has to be really long. In this case, i would say it was at least 5 seconds.
It all has to do with the shutter speed on manuel mode.
Using %26quot;B mode%26quot; shutter speed and hold for about 30 seconds or 45 seconds,very easy lah..
