Experimenting with Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is simply the amount of times the shutter is open. 

Shutter speed is measured in seconds, or in most cases - in fractions of seconds. Eg: 1/1000 is a much faster shutter speed than 1/30. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor. A quicker shutter speed will prevent motion blur and will produce a clear image or video of motion. In my example, the shutter speed is in the middle as it is clear to see the motion of the water but not as clear as it could be. In most films, shutter speed is quite low as some motion can be easier to see and more aesthetically pleasing at a lower speed, as the human eye can only see up to 1000fps and rarely above.
