Shutter speed. Shutter speed is just the time it takes for your shutter to open and close. This gives you the option to add motion blur or freeze a frame. Wish to catch a bird in flight? You should have a quick shutter speed, like 1/4000th of a second. Want to make a waterfall look silky smooth like in so much Icelandic photography? Consider utilizing slow shutter speeds, 3 seconds, for example. And while you're at it, read our guide on waterfall photography tips. If you're holding your camera equipment rather of using a tripod, keep in mind that you'll need a quick enough shutter to eliminate hand movement.
