• Shutter speed is the time for which a shutter is open at  a given setting. It is also the length of time that a camera sensor is exposed to light.
• A fast shutter speed can catch quick moving objects but a slow shutter speed can cause a motion blur.

The shutter speed tends to be measured in fractions of a second, as shown below.Below, is a contact sheet of photos that we took with varying shutter speeds.
My favourite photo from the shoot is the one below, which I have added a purple hue to, to enhance the colours and separate the blur. This is my favourite due to the fact that starting at the feet, you can make out exactly what you are looking at but as you go further up the image it becomes more abstract and unpredictable.
