Keeping it simple, Shutter Speed is basically the amount of time the shutter of the camera takes to capture a moment. Hence, Shutter Speed is simply the quickness or the slowness of light travel from the surroundings to the camera sensor. As the light plays a paramount role on the overall image quality, it essential to master this skill.
It's also pivotal to understand the characteristics of shutter speeds. They are usually measured in terms of seconds or fractions of a second. So essentially, I recommend shorter shutter speeds of say 1/4000 s, 1/2000, 1/1000, etc. for capturing fast moving subjects as they freeze the motion. On the other hand, I recommend longer shutter speeds, for example, 30s, 15s, 8s, etc. for artistic effects or for blurring the motions of a moving subject.
It is quite easy to set up shutter speed capabilities manually.You just have to choose the S (shutter) Priority in dial mode.
I will cover the rest of the Three Pillars of Photography in my upcoming posts.Hopefully, this post was useful for you. :D
