Shutter Speed and Aperture
What is Shutter Speed?
Inside your camera, directly in front of the sensor, is a small flap called the shutter. When you take a photo, this opens and closes to let light reach the sensor, creating your image. Shutter speed describes how quickly or slowly the shutter opens and closes again.
A fast shutter speed means that the shutter is only open for a short period of time; a slow shutter speed means the shutter is open for longer.
Fast shutter speed requires a large aperture like f/1.4 or f/5.6 because it needs to let more light in otherwise it will be overexposed.
Slow shutter speed required a small apertures like f/16 or f/22 because it needs there will be lot of light entering it needs to be that amount otherwise the picture will be overexposed.
