Shutter speeds

The shutter speed is the length of time the camera’s shutter is open when taking a photograph. It affects the amount of light that reaches an image. Fast shutter speeds don’t allow a lot of light, so they are best to use in bright conditions. Fast shutter speeds can capture and freeze movement. Slow shutter speeds allow a lot of light into an image and can create motion blur. It is important to match the shutter speed to the light conditions to avoid the image being overexposed or underexposed.

These images were taken using a slow shutter speed to create motion blur and emphasise the movement of the subject while the background remains sharp.





The next  images were taken using a fast shutter speed to reduce motion blur and freeze the movement of the subject.
















These images were taken using a slow shutter speed of 8 seconds. Torches and a light up skipping rope were used to create effects.
