Light with a Meter: Learn 3 Shutter Drag Techniques and Level up with Ab Sesay

In today’s video, photographer Ab Sesay dives deep into 3 shutter drag techniques. These techniques involve zooming the lens, moving the camera, and simply capturing the movement of your subject.

He also teaches how to use a light meter to more quickly dial in your shutter drag.
