Concepts in Photography
Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close 
the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as 
it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before 
it reaches the image sensor. 
Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement 
of the shutter speed is known as the “Exposure Value” (EV), which is 
marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s, 1/2000 
s, and so on.

Shutter Speed
The numbers indicated on the camera are the denominators of 
exposure values, which means that the higher the number, the less light 
will be let in. Likewise, the smaller the EV number, the more light will be 
let in.
As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time 
to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast 
shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes 
darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
