SHUTTER SPEED AND MOTION

The shutter speed is the amount of time that light reaches the

sensor:

• Faster shutter speeds, such as 1/500" or 1/4000", allow

less light to reach the sensor.

• Longer shutter speeds, such as 1/15" or 1 second, allow

more light to reach the sensor. (Sometimes photographers

will use very long shutter speeds of several minutes or

even hours.)

Creative effect: Shutter speed controls how motion is shown

in the image. The faster the shutter speed, the less time

your subject has to move in your scene, and thus the greater

the chance that the subject will be frozen in sharp focus.

Alternatively, slow shutter speeds can show the motion of the

subject as a blurred effect. For example, a fast shutter speed

might be used to freeze water droplets, while a slow shutter


speed could be used to blur the flowing water of a waterfall,

creating a “silky waterfall” look.
