Shutter+Speed+1

=﻿What is "shutter speed"?= Shutter speed, is the amount of time it takes for the shutter to open and close. Shutter speed is measured in fractions of seconds, the bigger the denominator the faster the shutter speed, for example, 1/500 is faster than 1/50. Extremely fast shutter speeds can make a subject seem unnaturally frozen.

=﻿Why is shutter speed important?= Shutter speed is important because if you try to capture the image a fast moving animal and you are using a very slow shutter speed, you will either get a blurry picture of that animal or you'll miss the animal completely. This can be stopped by using a fast shutter speed. With a fast shutter speed, you can make it appear as if time is "frozen" and the animal in the picture was stopped.
