Karpman 44 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Fast shutter speeds aperture depends on lens to be honest and the best light you can get. More light equals faster shutter speed and lower appature. Over various things count lens and camera quality. Karpman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PINNACLE 2,297 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) If you want to freeze the action like this taken at 1/800 you need a faster shutter speed 1/500+ and a wide Aperture (lower number) to get more light in quickly if in poor light a higher ISO even or if you want to do panning a get action/movement blur like this taken at 1/160 you need a slower shutter speed say like 1/60 to 1/200 depending on subject speed and blur required so a smaller aperture (high number) is require to let in less light.
