speed shutter

shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open. Shutter speed is measured in seconds. Most of the time you will probably be using shutter speeds of 1/60th of a second or faster. If you are using a shutter speed slower than 1/6oth of a second it is better if you use a tripod. It allows you to freeze movement in an image. It can have a really cool affect on motion to. You can freeze yourself and make blur. You can have some pretty awesome results with shutter speed.

In class we had to do a few experiments using shutter speed. We tried to freeze time in all three pictures. I believe that it worked the best on the third one becuase we got to make it look like there was more of us than there really was. We had to use a 15 second timer. In the top picture we used light to try to make a raindow, and the second was just a normal picture.

I would rather use shutter speed instead of ISO and aperture because it freezes time and it captures movement very well. There's things that you can do with shutter speed that you can't do with ISO or aperture.
