| Fig 1: Shutter speed 1/6000, Aperture f4.8, focal length 70mm, ISO 1600 |
For this image in Fig1 i used shutter priority mode and set the shutter speed to 1/6000 which has frozen action.

| Fig 2: Shutter speed 1/1000, Aperture f 16, focal length 70mm, ISO 1600 |
I stood from the balcony of my 2nd floor apartment to take these pictures of commercial motorcycle riders passing by. Though their speeds were not uniform, i tried to conjure in my mind what i think may be average speeds as they sped by. The image 2 above appears to be the slowest shutter speed at which movement is sharply frozen. At 1/500 seconds and slower, movement starts to get blurry.

| Fig 3: Shutter speed 1/500s, Aperture f16, 70mm,ISO 1600 |
At 1/500s i start to see a litte blurring of the picture.

| Fig 4: Shutter speed 1/250, Aperture F27, 70mm, ISO 1600 |

| Fig 5: Shutter speed 1/125s, Aperture F32,70mm , ISO 1600 |

Fast shutter speeds ( 1/250, 1/500,1/1000)s are the creative force behind exposures that freeze action while slower shutter speeds (1/60,1/30,1/15)s are the creative force behind panning. Superslow speeds (1/4, 1/2)s are the creative force behind exposures that imply motion.
