Shutter Speed

What is shutter speed?

• The speed at which the picture is taken
• The speed variates
• Shutter speed controls how much blur is present in the picture

How shutter speed works technically (in camera) & visually (in photo)?

• Technically: Shutter Speed changes the speed at which the picture is taken 
• Visually: The slower the shutter speed, the more blur there is. The faster the shutter speed is, the clearer the picture
• With a slow shutter speed, you can create an artistic blur
• With a fast shutter speed, you can create a freeze action shot
• The smaller the fraction, the slower the shutter speed
• The larger the fraction, the faster the shutter speed

What happens to the exposure triangle when you change your shutter speeds?

• When changing the shutter speed, the ISO and aperture need to be balanced
• The faster the shutter speed, the clearer the picture is
• The slower the shutter speed, the blurrier the picture is
