If you have a shutter speed of 1 500th of a second do you need more or less light?

The question is incomplete.
It would depend on the lighting conditions of where and what you are trying to capture an image of, as well as depend on the desired outcome of the image.
In a very dark room, you may need "more light" than you would in a brightly lit room.
The shutter speed will determine how much light can enter and be captured, which is determined by what the photographer wants to show in the final image.

What is shutter speed in photography?
Shutter speed is how fast your shutter opens and closes to take a picture on your camera. Shutter speed also has a lot to do with exposure. The higher the shutter speed (1/2000 example) the less light.
How do you control over shutter angle in camera?
"Shutter Angle" refers to rotary shutters used in motion picture cameras, a lower shutter angle (in degrees) means less light is allowed to expose the film and less motion blur is captured, higher angle and more light is let and more motion blur appear on flim. 180 degrees or 1/48th of a second (at 24 fps) is considered normal. The shutter angle is controlled by the shape of the rotary shutter, some cameras allow you to change the shape of the shutter or swap out for different shape shutters. Some newer or high-end cameras allow you to change the shape of the shutter while still in-camera. Your question was filed under photography, so possibly you mean "shutter speed" if your camera allows for manual control of the shutter speed it will be in 1/Nth of a second increments. A shutter speed of 1/125th of a second was taught to me as a good shutter speed to start at for medium focal lengths for a beginning shooter - to avoid blurry pictures. Also, if you're trying to freeze water in motion, birds in flight or people in motion, a high shutter speed will work well. Above 1/500th or 1/1000th of second if your camera is capable will create the desired effect. To answer effectively we probably need to know the model of camera you are using, and the purpose, happy shooting!
What does 125 mean on the shutter speed dial?
1/125 of a second.
What does 8 1 2000 shutter speed mean?
The first number is referring to the aperture (f/8 or F8) and the second number to the shutter speed (1/2000 sec.).
Shutter speed is associated with what?
It is associated with the length of time a photosensitive surface is exposed to light.
How is the shutter speed measured?
It is measured in a fraction of a second. For example 1/500th of a second
What is shutter speed in photography?
Shutter speed is how fast your shutter opens and closes to take a picture on your camera. Shutter speed also has a lot to do with exposure. The higher the shutter speed (1/2000 example) the less light.
What is the difference between fast shutter speed and a slow shutter speed?
Slow shutter speed - keeps the shutter curtain open for longer periods of time, e.g. when you shoot at night or in fading low light. Fast shutter speeds are used to capture action or when scene you are trying to shoot is well lit. In this case the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second!

What is exposure mainly controlled by?
For the most part ISO controls how much light reaches the sensor but so does Shutter speed, A shot with settings of ISO 100 with a shutter speed 1/500th of a second if shot in bright direct sunlight would give a reasonable picture. If you can not drop your ISO lower that 100 then you increase or decrease your shutter speed depending on how much light there is, in this case the the higher the shutter speed the less exposure meaning the darker the photo, the slower the shutter speed for example, anything starting to get below 70 fps (frames per second) requires that your arms have to be fairly steady or u get blur, anything at 1/20th of a second going on to 1 or 2 second with the shutter open require a stand and may require darkening filters, it all depends on what your camera is capable of, and what you want to bring about as an effect in your photo. Some Cameras will allow you to do Lower than 100 ISO but thats the industry standard for a normal picture. When you start to get more in depth F settings come into play, as this would widen or narrow the focal field, again letting more or less light to the sensor
What shutter speed will allow the least amount of light into the camera?
The highest shutter speed available to you will give you the darkest exposure, while the lowest shutter speed available will give you the brightest exposure
What do you have to consider when selecting your shutter speed?
Shutter speed has a lot to do with your overall exposure. A higher shutter speed will decrease the light a lot. I was in best buy playing around with a camera and turned the camera shutter speed to 1/4000. After taking the photo, the preview was black. I realized it was because of how much higher I increase my shutter speed. Shutter speed also affects motion in a photo. A higher shutter speed will freeze all action in a photo a will less likely have a blur to it if you have a shaky hand. A lower shutter speed lets in more light while the shutter is will opened so the entire time that the shutter is open, the camera takes in all that light. Increasing chances of blur, you can also use this for crazy, funky effects! If your taking a picture of a waterfall with a low shutter speed, your gonna get a blur, which can typically look pretty epic sometimes too.
What shutter speed should you use for landscape?
With a manual shutter speed for any stationary subject you should not go any slower than 1/60th of a second. That way you won't get a blurry image, but you still are letting in enough light into the sensor of your camera. Therefore for a landscape use the smallest 'f' stop possible provided the shutter speed is at least 1/60th second.
How does shutter speed improve photographs?
It doesn't necessarily inprove your picture. The higher the shutter speed, the less light, also the blur in a photo. A higher shutter speed will freeze a photo. A lower shutter speed will blur most motion and will increase chances of blur.
What do the shutter speed and aperture sizes both control?
light
What are you setting when you set the shutter speed?
The amount of time that the shutter remains open - allowing light to pass through it to form the image. Generally - a lower shutter speed would be combined with a smaller aperture and a higher shutter speed with a larger aperture to correctly expose the image.
