Basic Shutter Speed Information

Our eyes see at a "shutter speed" of around 1/30 second.
So images of moving subjects shot at 1/30 or thereabouts look "normal."

If we shoot at a faster shutter speed,
the camera freezes the motion is a way our eyes can't.

If we shoot the moving subject at a slower shutter speed,
 the camera blurs the motion in a way our eyes don't.
