SHUTTER SPEED

FOR NIGHT SCENES, ACTION SHOTS, IMPLIED MOTION, SPORTS

Shutter speed determines how long the camera's aperture stays open to admit light to the digital sensor, and full auto likes to play it safe on this front too. It generally opts for middling speeds from ⅛0 to 1/500 of a second, which reliably produce blur-free images. But reliable can be boring.

When photographing things that move, turn the mode dial to S (or Tv in Canon cameras). In bright light, choose a very fast shutter speed, 1/1000 or higher, to freeze action. You'll see every little drop of spray as a whitewater raft blasts through rapids, and each clod of dirt flying from the tires of a mountain bike.

Behind the scenes

Speed to edit a project and deliver to the client in good time is critical to customer service. This, though, is sometimes the case but is a complete thng of the past with the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment at Streams.
