Shutter speed is an essential tool that can be used to capture motion in different ways. As a subject, water is often recorded as a blurry entity with long exposures to convey an idea of movement. But why not think outside the box and focus on the detail of its flowing characteristics instead?
A fast shutter speed enables you to freeze the movement of the water with impressive and varied results. With the right composition and focus, you can also achieve an abstract result that emphasizes the graphic elements. To push the abstraction further, work out lines and shapes by reducing colors and boosting contrast in post-processing.
