Shutter Speed
Refers to the speed at which the mechanical door of a
Definition camera (called the shutter) is opened and closed.
● The slower the shutter speed, the more light the that is
exposed to the film/sensor and vice versa.
● Shutter speed are generally categorized into fast, slow, and
Details long shutter speed:
● Considered fast when it is above 500th of a second.
● Considered slow when it is 1/60th of a second.

how little light it took
in.
Slow Exposure Shot
This is an example of a slow exposure shot, wherein the
shutter is open for a considerable amount of time, longer than a fast
exposure shot, but slower than a long exposure shot, it sits at around
1/60th of a second long and is blurry due to how fast my partner was
moving his arm.
Long Exposure Shot
This is an example of a long exposure shot, far above 1/60th
of a second, perhaps closer to 2 or 3 seconds, it is much more
brighter than the slow exposure shot since more light was able to get
through the shutter due to how long it was open. My partner was also
able to move around considerably with the light, making the strange
circle of light in the photo.
