Have you heard of the shutter in a camera but are not sure what it is? And then there is shutter speed. What is this? Is this important, too? Would you like to know these things?

Yes, this stuff is essential – you need to understand the fundamentals of photography correctly. I can help you with these. I will tell you all you need to know about the camera shutter and shutter speed.

In this episode, I tell you

• What the shutter is?
• What shutter speed means, and why it is so important.
• What different shutter speeds are there?
• What shutter speeds you should use?
• What if I use a phone to take photos and not a camera?
• What if I use a film camera?
• And finally, what I do.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes!
