International master photographer Derek Doeffinger introduces basic shutter speed techniques from the easier to the more difficult points. He points out that shutter speed can reach different photographing effects and scenes, and introduces relevant knowledge such as the usage of accessories, exposure, and other creative shooting techniques. Using an array of inspiring photographs depicting people, wildlife, and landscapes, Creative Shutter Speed explains how to ""read"" the light and movement in a potential photograph and identify the best shutter speed for the desired effect.
Learn to unleash the power of every shutter speed Shutter speed is an integral part of exposure. Learn to use it creatively, and you unlock the magic that transforms an ordinary subject into a work of art.

Derek Doeffinger teaches you to harness the power that separates the amateur from the professional.
