Shutter Speed

Complete article on shutter speed.


Shutter speed is how long the shutter is open and it is used to capture motion. A longer shutter speed blurs movement and lets more light in. A short shutter speed will freeze motion. Below are some pictures that illustrate different things that can be done with different shutter speeds. Currently, I don't have any photos that I am sure the exact number of the shutter speed used. I will work on taking some photos where I know the exact speed.




Pinwheels at various shutter speeds.
