Speed:
If not a live event there are some moments that needs to be captured occurring in high speed, like the flight of a bird or a butterfly, or merely slash of water, you can use a tripod here with a narrow aperture, flash and a keen eye. Night photography:
Some of the best shots are clicked after the sun goes down. This is taught to us n photography schools, this is also a challenge for many, to shoot at night. However, if you have a Panasonic Lumix camera, the low-light feature in the camera will do the work else work with slow shutter speed on a solid surface with your tripod for a long exposure. Try the rule of thirds as well.
Motion blur effect:
Usually used in sports photography but overall to capture fast moving objects, the motion blur can be achieved if you slow down the shutter speed, hold your camera still as your subject moves. You can also ‘pan’ moving your camera along to follow the subject before releasing the shutter. B&W:
