Default Capturing Motion

Covering elections tonight in Ohio and wanted to get some cool shots maybe showing workers weeling in the voting devices but wanted to get a sort of 'whoosh' effect to them showing the motion. Is this accomplished by decreasing the shutter speed? Or other tweak?

use a tripod give you self about a 1/25 or lower shutter speed depending on how fast there moving and there you go just get your composition right and you should have a nice shot

i see it in black and white

good luck

If you going to be shooting in manual just make sure to compensate for the extended shutter (so you don't over expose).
If your shooting in sv or w/e you should be fine. However I find it hypocritical if you have an slr to shoot in anything but manual.

Well get a friend to walk back and forth and you can test it out and make sure to test applicable lighting! A bright sunny day can through a huge curve at what you're trying to do.
