Coming to you from The Slanted Lens, this great video will introduce you to the concept of shutter speed. Along with aperture and ISO, shutter speed is one of the fundamental parameters of exposure. Beyond its technical impact on your photos, you can also use it for creative purposes. If you are handholding your camera, it is a good idea to follow the reciprocal rule, which says to get sharp images, you should keep your shutter speed faster than the reciprocal of your focal length. For example, if you are shooting on a 100mm lens, your shutter speed should be at least 1/100 s or faster. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
