Shutter speed

What is shutter speed?

Shutter speed is the measurement of time in which the camera's sensor is exposed to the light. the faster the shutter speed the more freezeframe and clear the image is. However, the slower the shutter speed the more blurred motion becomes. If you take a picture on a sunny day, the shutter speed is best on a fast speed. Otherwise too much light would be let in and the image would become over exposed.

Shutter speed can be measured in fractions of seconds e.g 1/000 is a fast shutter speed and 1/15 is a slow shutter speed

A slow shutter speed can be used creativly and can be really effective. An image that demonstrates a slow shutter speed being used creativly is the following...

I like the way that it shows the speed of how fast the train is going yet the woman is as still as a freeze frame.

I like this photograph because I think it's clever how it captures something that usually goes so fast we don't clearly see. I like how it looks like a water hat which normally is impossible.
