Is shutter drag only effective doing night time?

Is shutter drag only effective doing night time?

Just got a new camera couple month a go. I wanted to start experimenting more with techniques, currently on shutter drag. Was wondering if anyone can help me 😊 with some rookie questions.

  1. Is shutter drag only effective at night time? Or maybe compositions with high contrast? Like a super dark and super light area?
  2. What’s a typical shutter drag speed? I took the photo above with shutter speed of .4 seconds.
  3. When you are taking shutter drag photos, what’s going through your head? Do you kinda look at what’s stationary and what’s moving?

Any tips are welcome. Thanks in advance.
