shutter speed or aperture?


for the time being, my favorite creative setting is "shutter speed priority". because it is much easier to control the shutter speed and let the camera processor determines the appropriate aperture opening by itself. especially for candid fast moving objects and people. consequent on that, if the setting is too fast for example 1/80 seconds, the appropriate aperture set by the processor will be a bit wider like f 8.5 in order to compensate the scarce of light source. the result will be a bit dark that i have to set the ISO to 1600 which is going to produce sort of grainy images.

on the contrary, "aperture priority" is to set the desired aperture openings and let the machine automatically match the appropriate or adequate shutter speed. wide aperture will allow more lights to enter the lens but normally longer shutter speed like 2"5 seconds which is so going to make me sweat holding the camera while waiting for it to process the capturing and yes, blurry images!

hmmph, sigh~ which one is the best? especially night scenes and i refuse to use the flash. help needed here!
