2 7 SHUTTER SPEED and its EFFECTS PartIV Best Shutter Speeds to Freeze Motion

How does shutter speed affect a photo? Effect of Shutter Speed on Photos The longer the shutter speed, the more light strikes the sensor, resulting in a brighter image. And the faster the shutter speed, the less light reaches the sensor, resulting in a darker image. Besides brightness, shutter speed also controls how motion is captured in your photo.How do you explain shutter speed? Shutter speed simply refers to the amount of time that the camera's shutter is open. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that passes through to the camera's sensor. Conversely, the shorter the shutter is open, the less light that's able to pass through.Is higher shutter speed better? With higher shutter speed, the less time you leave your shutter open and the less is exposed to light. In general, higher shutter speeds are better for daytime photography, whereas lower shutter speeds are better for nighttime photos.What is an example of a fast shutter speed? The easiest way to stop camera shake is to simply use a fast shutter speed. For example, shooting at 1/4000 of a second is so fast that your hand simply doesn't have enough time to tremble much before the photo is done being recorded.What is the best shutter speed? As a rule of thumb, your shutter speed should not exceed your lens' focal length when you are shooting handheld. For example, if you are shooting with a 200mm lens, your shutter speed should be 1/200th of a second or faster to produce a sharp image.
