Understanding Shutter Speeds




Shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open. Within the camera, it determines how long the shutter is exposed to the image you are intending to capture. This, in turn, determines the clarity of the object and and can show motion. The longer the shutter is open, the blurrier the photo will be because it is capturing more motion. In contrast, when the shutter is open for a shorter amount of time, the photo taken is more clear and the object is more frozen in time. The faster the shutter speed, the lower the aperture. All parts of the exposure triangle effect the others, and when they change, they cause they others to change.
