Shutter speed is exactly what it sounds like: It’s the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure — the amount of light the camera takes in — and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure.
This is an example of a fan shown in slow to fast shutter speed.
In this photoshoot, we explored the shutter speed by playing a boxing game. Capturing fast moving boxing actions, trying to dodge the camera creating some blurrier pictures then others; this is due to the use of shutter speed, how much light is being let into the camera.
In this photoshoot, we also explored shutter speed by attempting to throw three balls in a straight line, using shutter speed to determine how blurry or clear the photos will turn out.
