knowledge of Shutter speed is crucial. It is the rate by which the shutter of the aperture closes.
Shutter speed determines how motion and movement show up in the final photo result.
In another word, a slow shutter speed will cause motion to show up as blurred image. A fast shutter speed will allow clearer and more detailed non-stationary elements to be captured on the resulting shot.
Blurred images from slow shutter speed is not always a bad thing. We can sometime use slow shutter speed to create surreal and ethereal special photo effects. For example, long night exposure shot of traffic can produce very interesting and beautiful neon-light streaks. These streaks are resulted by the car lights' path being capture faithfully.
Conversely, very high shutter speed can capture details not normally seen by the human eye. For example, water splashing from water droplets can produce nice freeze shots.
It is always interesting and informative to try out different shutter speeds for creative photography. Try it and you may be surprised by the unexpected results that can be generated.
