With slower shutter speed you can add a nice
motion blur and sense of movement.
With faster shutter speeds you can "freeze the

With small aperture values only the subject is in
focus and the background is softly blurred. Great
for portraits or to isolate a single object.
With large aperture values every part of
the image is clearly in focus. Good
for landscapes and architectural shots.
