Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is one of the first things in digital photography that you should know if you want to excel your skills and get beautiful digital photos. Your shutter speed controls the amount of light entering into the digital sensor. The speed at with you get your light exposure can really make or break your digital photography.

In basic terms, to help you understand, control the shutter speed of light exposure. Think of it like opening and closing the door sooner or later. How fast or slow to open and close the impact on the exposure of light onto the digital sensor. shutter controls the amount of light entering the camera through speed. shutter can then make your image brighter or darker. Shutter speed can also affect clarity of moving objects for example. You can make a fast shutter speed, give 'float in the air' as shown. Think of the motion of fast moving objects that have been frozen in the "air" like drops of water for example. Shots like this have the shutter speed.

So what kind of shutter speeds you need to look like this? A "freeze motion" good shot where something looks suspended in time, perhaps at shutter speed 1 / 2000 just as an example. That means the shutter opens and closes so fast that you can not replicate it in sound or description. shutter had clicked at 2000 per second. That's a lot of sports photography done. Many subjects that move very fast can look really good with shutter speed.


Shutter speed infants and children for example have to be taken fast enough .... unless of course they slept. You need a shutter speed high enough babies and children because in terms of photography they move so fast! I have never been more tired after a day of shooting photos of children and infants. You must be on your toes because the photo has great potential is lost in an instant second, so you have to watch them like hawks.

On the other hand you can get blurred images using shutter speed manipulation effects. Shutter speed and artistic blur can work quite well together. For example, if you want to create an artistic look blurry, (not a coincidence stain visible) then some gentle blur in your photos can look beautiful. This involves some adjust the shutter speed to get the look right to shoot you. I would call it smudging effect if you want to get technical. You can take the same photo of children running, but set the shutter speed exposure to something around 1 / 250 or less for example. The range of f stops may create a really nice soft blur with shutter speed effect.

Aperture on the other hand is described as stopping F. The higher the f-stop number, the smaller the lens opening and the less light falling on the image. For example, you may find that injections of dusk rather beautiful sunset and you want to capture the color when you see them. You can decide to manually change the aperture, or f stop, and open the lens and let more light in. You may find that on auto your camera has chosen an f stop F8. You look at places on the viewfinder and you find it just a little dark to like you. You then switch the camera to manual mode and change it to F4, which allows you to find more light and give you the shot you want. Remember, the higher the number of stops F, less light in. The lower the number, the more light in.

Shutter speed and aperture in your digital photography should work together closely to create the right mix of effects on your photos. So just try it. Playing with objects moving at different shutter speeds and you'll see what I mean about the different types of effects you can get.

So what digital camera you can have complete shutter speed and aperture control over?

Digital SLR is by far better as far as controlling the amount of light coming into your sensor. It's a little hard to get this control to the camera point-and-shoot digital unusual because you can not control the shutter speed or aperture independently. In the pro-Sumerian camera was a little better because you can change the exposure value, but still, you can not change the shutter speed only.

Although the Sumerian-pro, you may have read is called "e / v" which stands for "exposure value". "E / v number" is really a camera measuring a combination of aperture and shutter speed. I do not have time to go into great explanation now but if you can change the exposure value or "e / v" You have the scope a little more than point and shoot digital camera. You can still experiment pretty well if you have one digital camera. However, single-lens reflex digital camera is ideal. This allows you to control the shutter speed alone, independently, without affecting the adjustment of the aperture.
