Basic Aspect of Photography: the Shutter Speed

0saves

Shutter is a sort of layer that covers the sensor. At the time we had snapped, this will open during the Shutter in recent times so that the sensor can record the light coming through the lens. Shutter opening duration is what is known as the Shutter Speed. Logically, the slower the shutter speed, the more incoming light. And conversely the faster the shutter speed the less light is recorded.

The shutter speed is measured in second. The unit is easier to understand than the unit Aperture. To reduce the amount of light entering into a half before (-1 stop), Shutter Speed time to stay on for second. And vice versa, to add light to the previous 2x (+1 stop) living in multiply 2. In Nikon D50, Shutter Speed values that can be used on the camera are 60, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1s, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, 1 / 32, 1 / 64, 1 / 125, 1 / 250, 1 / 500, 1 / 1000, 1 / 2000, 1 / 4000. Shutter Speed Range value on the camera type / other brands more or less the same. In some pro cameras, the speed can be up to 1/8000s. Fast enough to shoot a bullet that flew!

Slow Shutter Speed
Technical using a low shutter speed (great value). Usually used in less light conditions, shutter open longer for the camera can collect enough light to produce images who we want. If we are photographing a scene with multiple moving objects, we will produce new and cool effects photograph.

Slow shutter speed can also lead to a dynamic impression on our photos. This filter will reduce the time from initially reared in such kinds of light (depending on the level of ND filter) so many light conditions will look like tonight.

Slow Shutter Speed and Tripod
Tripod is an absolute necessary if we want experimented with slow-speed photographs. The reason is because the camera must be supported by other objects during the shutter open. If not, then the resulting image at slow shutter speed will be blurry because of camera shake to and fro shear. No normal human would be strong to stand still holding the camera during in recent seconds without vibrating. But in time we are not bringing a tripod, other objects such as our camera bag. The important thing is solid enough to hold the camera during the shutter open.
