Shutter speed is the setting on a camera which you change the actual closing speed of the shutter, This is important in photography as it allows a certain amount of light to hit the sensor so the faster the shutter speed (e.g. 1/50 of a second will let in less light then a shutter speed of 1 second or more). Because of this change in the amount of light allowed to hit the sensor patterns or images can be made using light with a longer shutter speed say ten seconds. this allows what is called light drawing to take place (as seen in the pictures below) depending on the shutter speed as well various photos can be taken for example with a lower shutter speed moving objects can appear more blurred whilst at a higher one speed can appear more sharp.
Here the shutter speed is set relatively high (probably around 1/250 of a second to acquire the smooth movement without it being blurred however the back ground is blurry but this is due to thew focus being on the car)
here the shutter speed has been set to around a 10 second of five second exposure allowing me to do what is called light drawing this worked effectively although my 'light writing could be better'
