Understanding Shutter Speed

            Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is open when taking a picture. By changing the the time of how long your shutter is open, if you were to have a larger shutter speed it means you are letting more light in and might have a blur movement. Now, if you have a smaller shutter speed it means you are letting less light in and deal with a frozen movement. Aperture, ISO and shutter speed all come together to create an exposure triangle. The shutter speed affects the aperture because the larger the shutter speed the larger the aperture since you exposing the sunlight longer. Now, if you have a smaller shutter speed you have a smaller aperture since your only have a small amount of time exposing the sun to the camera.
