Most of the times, we look through our photos and notice little improvement in time - it's a wonderful feeling when you realize how far you've come in taking portraits, or how nice your landscapes look nowadays, or how filled with meaning those black and white shots are now.

For me personally, the shutter speed is the best invention for cameras as it freezes the action and reduces the effects of the camera shake. If I shoot a static subject matter, then I will try a shot with a shutter speed of 1/400. This, however, creates a less than perfect photo. Because of this, I recommend using a higher shutter speed. If it was a flying bird I was photographing, the minimum of 1/1500 would be ideal but personally, I would prefer to use a shutter speed of 1/2000+.
