Shutter speed is one of the three settings we can adjust to change how light or dark a picture looks. It needs to be balanced with aperture and ISO sensitivity in order to get a \u2018correct-looking\u2019 exposure, and which shutter speed you use is important, since it affects how motion is portrayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The golden rule is this: anything that moves while the shutter is open will blur. So, if you photograph water flowing over a waterfall, for example, with a shutter speed of 1\/2 sec, then the water will look silky smooth and blurry, since it was moving on a similar timescale to the shutter speed. But photograph the same waterfall with a shutter speed of 1\/4000 sec, and you\u2019ll see every droplet of water frozen motionless, since it wasn\u2019t able to move much when the shutter was open.<\/p>\n\n\n
