Slow Shutter Speed

I don't always carry an SLR or DLSR with a couple of extra lenses when I visit central London especially if the purpose of my visit is social rather than photographic. Instead I carry  a compact digital camera - it's light, and very portable. I've being trying out my Coolpix indoors with the flash turned off - one of my requirements for such a camera is the ability to switch the flash on or off - so I can choose when to use flash and not have the camera decide to use it for me. The camera records only jpg's. Here are some photos taken with this camera; no flash, hand held, relatively slow shutter speeds,  moving people are blurred.


 

 



A very different technique to those I usually use. Think I might try this out some more, and also different locations and lighting conditions.
