Taking camera to work today. Advice needed.

As title. I work in Morrisons on the Fish bar, im the manager.

I am looking to get some good pics of the fish and the displays I do with them. One shot I am looking to do in perticular is a close up (not macro or that sort of close) of a few fish with the customers in the back ground blurred due to moving. Pretty much like the pics you see of one person standing in the middle of Times Square (in focus) and all the people walking around him all blurred.

Im sure you know what I mean.

How do I go about making this happen. Is it something to do with the Exp time?

I have Kodak Easyshare LS633 (cheap one from many years ago) It produces some good quality pics as you can see from my other thread.

Not sure about shutter speed. Not seem anthing on my camera to tell me this. All I have on my Camera are these options.


Exposure compensation: (+2 to -2 in .5 increments)
White balance: (Auto, Daylight, Tungsten and Fluorescent)
Exposure metering: (Multi-pattern, Center-weight and Center-spot)
Focus zone: (Multi-zone and Center-zone)
ISO speed: (Auto, 100, 200 and 400)
Long time exposure: (None, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0)

Like I said its an old compact type camera. Still pretty good.

I really need to invest in a camera that allows me to fine tune everything and manual focus.

Ok lads. Thank you for your quick advice. I will be heading to work soon so it wont be until tomorrow when I shall have some pics up..

I am on till 10pm tonight and after 7-8 its dead inside the store so I will be taking pics then when I wont get bothered too much. Might even submit some photos to the "M" magazine for all stores to have a look at. It could get me on the track to something other than a fish manager..
