Camera Shutter Speed

Camera shutter speed is very important in photography. We ARE doing STILL photography, so our subjects need to be still in order to be sharp. This is why I insist we shoot on SHUTTER PRIORITY. In this post, there are several videos and web pages that describe how to get sharp pictures. The main reason for unsharp pictures (besides being out-of-focus) is "camera shake". To avoid this, we need to use the "Inverse Focal Length Rule".


Here are a few videos that describe this rule:
