If you are going to be taking pictures in low lighting environments, you should try to increase your shutter speed. This will prevent blurs from occurring when taking the picture. Try to go with a shutter speed that has a minimum speed of 1/200th of a second or 1/250.

Play with shutter speeds for interesting effects. When you are photographing moving subjects, setting a fast shutter speed will allow you to capture an image with split-second timing, without motion blur. This is especially useful when photographing sporting events. Alternately, you can take advantage of motion blur with a slow shutter speed. Streams and waterfalls are especially stunning when photographed with this method.

Keep your camera settings simple. Learn to master one portion of the control, such as aperture or shutter speed, before you worry about the next. This will allow you to focus on capturing the picture, instead of spending all your time fiddling with the camera while your subject simply walks away.

Here is a handy photo tip! Learn about the shutter speeds. There are P, M, A, and S settings on your camera. The “P” stands for program mode. This is the fully automatic setting of your camera and it sets the aperture and shutter speed automatically for you. If you are not sure what you will shoot, use the “P” setting.

Now that you have some helpful tips, you will be able to start taking more great pictures. With this knowledge and some willingness to make some easy adjustments to your shooting techniques and your camera, you can get some pretty amazing shots from any camera that you are using.
