How shutter speed can affect photo results
What is shutter speed in photography? It is the speed by which the shutter of the aperture closes.
Shutter speed affects how motion and movement appear in the final photo result.
To be more precise, a slow shutter speed will cause motion to appear as blurred image. A fast shutter speed will enable sharper and more detailed moving objects to be captured on the image.
Blurred images from slow shutter speed is not always a bad thing. We can sometime use slow camera shutter speed to create surreal and ethereal special photo effects. For example, long night exposure shot of traffic can produce very interesting and beautiful neon-light streaks. These streaks are cause by the car lights' path being capture faithfully.
On the other hand, very high shutter speed can capture details not normally seen by the human eye. For example water splashing from water droplets can produce nice freeze shots.
It is always fun and informative to experiment with different shutter speed for creative photography. Try it and you may be surprised at the interesting and varied results that can be generated. Playing with different shutter speed can help realise some interesting and unconventional photography ideas.
