The A to Z of Photography: Shutter speed

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
shutter speeds are calculated so that each step in shutter speed doubles (or halves) the exposure
So for example, changing your shutter speed from 1/30 sec to 1/60 sec will half the exposure
There are intermediate settings in between, but these are the main shutter speeds in sequence.A faster shutter speed produces a shorter
exposure, which means the sensor gets less light; a slower shutter speed produces a longer exposure, which means the sensor gets more light
just about controlling the exposure, though, because changing the shutter speed will also affect the look of your photos.Freezing
This produces an overall blur that never looks good, which is why there are certain recommended minimum shutter speeds for handheld

actually enhance your pictures

landscape photography, slow shutter speeds of many seconds are often used to turn waterfalls, rivers or surf into an atmospheric milky blur,
and the long exposure times needed for night photography will blur moving clouds and turn moving traffic into a continuous river of
