A few weeks ago we did a "Stop the Action" challenge. This challenge is the opposite - using a slow shutter speed to create movement. The technique is frequently seen as "velvet water" but includes other photographic techniques such as light trails. If you have iPhone 6S or later you have the ability to produce long exposure "velvet" motion (I'll demonstrate during the challenge for those who may not be aware of the feature). As always, its a combination of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed that produces the effect. Tripods work best for shutter speeds longer than 1/60 (some can do 1/30). Bracing yourself and or the camera against a stable surface can sometimes be sufficient, but results may not be the best.

So, let's see some slow shutter motion
