Shutter Speed

For this exercise we were told to go out and take 4 photo and we were to alter the shutter speed, one of them had to be a high shutter speed, another had to be a low shutter speed and the rest had to be some were in the middle.

In photography, shutter speed is the length of time the shutter remains open. With subjects such as sport or motor sport, fast shutter speed are needed to freeze the action. Whereas landscape photography’s can be taken with much slower shutter speeds. A useful rule when taken hand held photography’s is that the shutter speed should relate to the focal length of the lenses to avoid camera shake, e.g. using a 50mm lens us can used shutter speeds as slow as 1/50^th of a second , but using a 400mm lenses u will need to use a shutter speed of 1/400^th of a second. This is a useful general rule.
