Generation

Shutter speed is how long your camera's sensor is exposed to light when taking a photo. When the shutter stays open longer (like 1/30th of a second), anything moving during that time will appear blurred because the sensor captures multiple positions of the subject in a single image—this is motion blur. Faster shutter speeds (like 1/1000th of a second) freeze motion because they capture such a brief moment that moving objects don't have time to change position significantly. You can use motion blur creatively to show movement, or use fast shutter speeds to capture sharp action shots.
