There are three main setting when taking a photo, Aperture, which is basically how much light the lens lets onto the sensor or film of the camera, ISO which in film days was the speed of the film or how quick it reacts to light and what I will talk about more in this post shutter speed.

In simple terms it is how long the shutter is open for and lets light into the camera sensor and by using different times of open shutter it can give quite different effects and in this case i will show you the effect it can have on water with just a simple subject like this fountain.

For this shot I took a 6 second exposure which you really need a tripod or hand shake when you take the photo will make everything blurry, and as you can see here it blurs the motion of the water and makes it look kind of silky.

This secodn shot is with a faster shutter speed wher eit was only open for half a second and you can see the water a bit more clearly and a few drops with a littl emotion.

And finally this shot with a shutter speed on 1/100 of a second where the wate ris a lot more clear and you can even see a few drops clearly.

These are not really good example shots but the best I had at the moment and I hope it helps explain how shutter speed can be used to change the effect you can get when taking a photo
