***Motion Photography -- experiment with the different shutter speeds to capture one image that is Frozen in time and one with Blurred Motion.
Canon Rebel Shutter Priority setting is the Tv dial, Nikon is the S setting. Fast shutter speeds make the moving object appear "frozen in time", Slow shutter speeds create a blurred look.
