Hi Stefan, Deanna has a good starting point (with minor terminology issues) you do not normally want any "shudder" speed other than ZERO. Shudder = to tremble violently, if you are trying for an "earthquake effect" you might want that but other wise you want tho adjust the SHUTTER speed and aperture. The simplest rule of thumb is to use the "Sunny Sixteen" rule which is that the shutter speed should be set to the same value as the ISO setting and the lens opening (aperture) should be set to f/1. You can use alternate settings by increasing the shutter speed and decreasing the f/stop. Example: Sunny day/great amount of sunlight ISO = 1.
USE - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -.. F/1. 6 at 1/1. 00 second [1/1. F/1. 1 at 1/2. 00 second [1/2. F/8. 0 at 1/4. 00 second [1/5. F/5. 6 at 1/8. 00 second [1/1.

For simplification I have - 1] Included the most common shutter speed equivalents found on modern cameras in BRACES [1/nnnn], the difference between the values is negligible and can be ignored.
Not used lens opening for apertures values lower than f/4. LOWER Number). TECHNICAL NOTE: To get the approximate FULL STOP value for the next larger opening divide the next smaller f/number by 2. The next larger opening after f/4. For the other settings you can use the Sunny Sixteen rule as a starting point and adjust as follows - Afternoon, not too much light but is still a little bright?
One to two stops more light: Change F/1. F/1. 1~F/8. 0 Dusk/Dawn?
Three to five stops more light: Change F/1. F/5. 6~F/1. 4 Also known as the "Golden Hours" many appealing effects can be done at these times by under or over exposing the images which will mean significant out of range exposures that may still be very pleasing. Indoors with less light? Varies to widely to predict. For this you need to assume that you will be shooting at F/4. If you are using film or cannot "chimp" (view on camera after taking) the images you would be wise to bracket the exposures by 1/2 to 1 stop greater and less exposure.
If you have a light meter built into the camera or hand held use it as a guide to estimate approximate exposure and go from there. Outdoors with less light (without flash) This will vary widely depending on circumstances, experience will be invaluable but you can search for Sunny Sixteen and find links that will give some guidance for "Open Shade" and a variety of other circumstances such as "Beach" or "Snow" (which require higher shutter speeds and/or F stop settings than Sunny Sixteen calls for). Hope that helps. Feel free to email me if you need more details or help.
