Shutter speed (or exposure time) is how fast your camera takes a picture. Knowing when to adjust the exposure time on your camera can greatly improve your photography.
Shutter speed displays as fractions of a second. The larger the denominator the faster your camera will take a picture. So an exposure time of 1/1000 is much faster than a time of 1/2. If you want motion blur in a photo, like for light trails or a waterfall, use a shutter speed slower than 1/60. To freeze time around a moving object, like a bird flying or a sporting event, use an exposure time faster than 1/60.
*Note: Use a tripod when dealing with speeds slower than 1/30 to avoid blur due to unintentional shake.
