control motion blur with the shutter speed

Shutter speed is an incredibly creative control that can be used to freeze fast‑moving subjects in space and time, or capture them as a more artistic blur. For action photography, these two options provide a wealth of possibilities. For instance, shooting a passing car at 1/1000 sec will ‘freeze’ it, making it appear not to be moving, while tracking the car as it passes at 1/125 sec will capture dynamic blur in the background.
