Shutter SPeed

Make a whole page of notes to show your understanding of Shutter Speed. I have included a bit about shutter speed here to help you start your research. Look for videos, imagery, photos, etc that may help you with understanding this, seemingly simple, photographic basic.

Looking at the definition below and the links do as much research as you can to find out what Shutter Speed means when you are taking a photo. 

You may also want to look at how to change it on the camera, when to change it, and why it needs to be changed. 

If you change the shutter speed what happens to the light/exposure in the photo?

If you are capturing movement do you want blur or for it to be still? How do you capture that?

The shutter speed is the amount of time the light is allowed to hit the "film" sensor. The longer the shutter remains open the more light that can pass through to the film. The numbers are often represented by fractions. Which could mean you have to look at 1/10 as being 1/10th of a second.

The numbers usually look like this:

30s _ 15 s _ 8 s _ 4 s _ 2 s _ 1 sec _ 1/2 _ 1/4 _ 1/8 _ 1/15_ 1/30 _ 1/60_ 1/125 _ 1/250_ 1/500 _ 1/1000_ 1/2000 _ 1/4000
