In sports and action photography, how different shutter speed renders different types of images?

In sports and action photography, can you explain to me how different shutter speed renders different types of images?

It all depends on what your subject is and how fast they are moving and how fast your camera can take a photo.

For example, you will have to use a slower shutter speed for photographing, say, a horse event than a car race.
You would also have to adjust your other settings but the best place to start is by practising and experimenting.

    No

    If you understand how to balance ISO, shutter speed and lens apertures, you would know this. The only other way to know is to actually do some tests and then analyse each of your shots,.

    Basically, you need to shoot at shutter speeds of 1/500th or faster to freeze the action
