Shutter speed

This is one of the three pillars in photography alongside ISO and aperture, shutter speed. This setting can be used to make dramatic effects by either blurring or freezing a motion. The button you click to take a photo is sometimes called a shutter button, this button triggers the shutter which is kind of like a curtain that lays in front of the camera lens, which releases light exposure to the rest of the camera. When you click the shutter button the curtain is drawn back and immediately released once the amount of light is collected. shutter speed also known as exposure time, means the amount of time a camera shutter is open to receive light , because of this if you have a short exposure time the pictures will freeze in mid motion, unlike if you were to have a long exposure time allowing you to collect more light but also blurring any motion indicated in the photo. you can use slow shutter speed during the night or to capture the movement of a waterfall, whilst keeping the rest of the landscape in focus, you should do this with a tripod unless you have amazingly sturdy hands, or you know you're like a robot or something :) . shutter speed is usually measured in fractions of a second. The function on the camera to achieve this setting is a TV . TV is a abbreviation for time value . Here are some photos that I took using the TV setting .
