How shutter speed affects photography results

knowledge of Shutter speed is important. What is shutter speed? It is the rate by which the shutter of the aperture closes.

Shutter speed determines how motion and movement show up in the photographic image.

Usually, a longer shutter speed will cause motion to show up as blurred portion of the photo. A higher shutter speed will allow sharper and more detailed moving elements to be recorded on the resulting shot.

Blurred images from longer shutter speed can be capitalized as special effects. We can sometime use longer shutter speed to create surreal and ethereal special photo shots. For instance, long night exposure shot of traffic can result in very interesting and beautiful neon-light streaks. These streaks are caused by the car lights’ path being capture faithfully.

On the other hand, very high shutter speed can capture details not normally seen by the human eye. For instance, water splashing from water droplets can produce nice droplets that float in mid air.

It is always fun and informative to experiment with various shutter speeds for creative photography.

Try it and you may be happily surprised by the interesting and varied results that can be generated for controlling shutter speeds.
