WHAT IS SHUTTER SPEED?

Shutter speed is the length of time that the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light when taking a photograph. A fast shutter speed will reduces the amount of light meaning the image will be sharper and it won’t be as over exposed. If the shutter speed is slow it will allow a greater amount of light in to the camera making the image blurred and under focused and therefore making the image over exposed.

When taking the photos of the dodge balls we used a fast shutter speed, which therefore created a sharper and defined image. Whereas when taking the pictures of the boxing punches we used a slower shutter speed which therefore creates a more blurred and unclear image.
