Photography Basics: Shutter Speed

by Hannah Braboy on March 10, 2010

Shutter speed is simply this: how fast your camera snaps the shot. It’s easy peasy.

Shutter speed in low light:

If you are in a low light situation, your camera’s shutter will have to stay open longer to let more light in. In this kind of situation, if you aren’t using a tripod you’ll probably get a blurry shot.

Shutter speed in normal light:

If you are in a spot with normal light, your camera will snap the shot faster. Why? It’s because the more light there is, the shorter amount of time your camera will have to hold the shutter open.

It’s really easy. Really.
