Most photographers are taught:
What’s the slowest with shutter speed I can get away with?
A better question might be:
What’s the fastest shutter speed I need to create the image I envision?
Shoulder speed isn’t just about avoiding blur. It’s one of the most powerful creative tools you have.
Want every feather frozen in flight? Increase it.
Want to show motion and energy? Slow it down.
Want silky water, spinning wings, or intentional blur? That’s shutter speed doing exactly what you told it to do.
