shutter

If you’re at all used to your DSLR, you might have realized you have a lot more options now than you used to with your old compact camera. The fact that you have full control over aperture and shutter speed is certain to bring you a creativity boost. However, as with every tool, you first need to know how to use it in order to put it to good use.

With the advent of high-speed photography, objects in motion can be represented in photographs in interesting ways previously not seen, due to limitations of cameras, as well as human beings.  The best time to snap the photograph is when the subject is moving at its slowest.  This is not as easy as it seems since it must be timed perfectly in order to capture the desired image.  Fortunately, there is a way to get around this possible problem that is not difficult to properly execute.

Most photographers know that the shutter speed on a camera can regulate exposure, but it also can be used as a creative tool to add interest to images. It can do many things in order to convey messages through photographs.

The camera shutter is an ingenious invention. It works by allowing light in when the shutter is open to begin with the exposure and when the shutter closes the light is blocked, therefore, it ends the exposure.

Photography is an art, it has been said it has a language of its own. As with any artwork or various languages, there are important structures and understanding necessary. Many people do not understand this when they receive their first camera. They simply go about their way glossy eyed snapping shots all over the place. Very few have the understanding of the bigger picture.

Shutter speed can be defined as a length of time required for a shutter to be opened; in this the total exposure is directly proportional to the interval of light reaching images or film sensor. The shutter speed can also be defined as the amount of time the shutter is kept opened.The upper diaphragm of a lens big or small values and timing of the shutter curtain. These two perform the work of regulating the light entered in to the camera and exposed.
