3 PILLARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Aperture
- The opening in the camera lens that is responsible for taking in light
- The bigger the aperture, the more light can pass through
- Big aperture is responsible for large depth of field
- Small aperture, shallow depth of field
- Adjust aperture in the camera using f/stop
Shutter Speed
- The length of time a camera shutter is open to expose the light into the camera sensor
- Fast shutter speed, motion freeze
- Slow Shutter Speed, motion blur
- When shutter speed is fast, lesser light goes in due to short exposure time
- Therefore, there are two things you need to bear in mind; Is there plenty of light? Is the subject moving or still?
ISO
- Its the level of sensitivity the camera is to available light
- The bigger the ISO number, the more sensitive the camera sensor is. Hence, picture will be brighter
- However, the large ISO numbers tends to cause picture to me grainy
- So when you're taking picture in a place where there is plenty of light, keep ISO to 100 or 200
