Reducing Light With Shutter Speed

Thursday and Friday were super warm end of summer days. And bright. I took this picture of an old school telephone pole and decided to dial the shutter speed all the way up to 1/2000th of a second and see how dark the image would get. Surprisingly lighter than I expected and no glare anywhere. I'm going to try this more to see if it takes clearer photos because there is no time for shake to register. Could be good for animal pictures.
