Beginner - Shutter speed and movement

How can movement be captured in photography? Or how can we freeze a picture, such as a waterfall where you see it silky smooth

Learning how to manage the exposure time, and / or the shutter speed of your camera is the answer to these questions, just like the depth of field, is a key parameter in your photography. This parameter controls the exposure time, determining how long light interacts with the digital sensor. Depending on the duration, it can either freeze or blur motion.
