Shutter Speed and Aperture
The same exposure can be achieved with different combinations of
shutter speed and aperture.
Fast shutter speeds and large apertures
freeze moving objects and soften background details, while slow shut-
ter speeds and small apertures blur moving objects and bring out
background details.
