If you want to explore shutter priority on your shiny new DSLR everyone will tell you, this mode is best for sport and wildlife (including children). Anything that moves quickly and you want to freeze the action takes a fast shutter speed, 1/500th of a second or 1/1000 of a second upwards. Shutter Priority is one of the modes on most DSLRS of which there are P, A, S and M usually. PASM stands for Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual. These are the four primary shooting modes. These modes let you manually set one control and the camera automatically adjusts the rest. Except for Manual because as the name suggests its all set manually. For the others three you need to understand the relationship between 1. ISO, light sensitivity 2. Aperture, the amount of light let in through the lens and 3. Shutter Speed, the length of time the shutter is open. Camera Porn has a good article to help understand titled Relationship Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed – The Good Kind of Threesome. Anyway here are some first tries at the mode with birds.
