Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

Top photo (F2.8)

Bottom photo (F16)

1. We should relate aperture to the lens on the camera because certain Lens' can only go so far with aperture.

2. The smaller the aperture, the shallower the depth of field and the brighter the photo. The higher the aperture, the larger depth of field and the darker the photo.

3. Aperture affects depth of field by what is actually focused in the photo and the more the camera would focus on certain subjects. The lower, the more blurred out portions of the photo are and the larger, the more in focus parts of the photo are.

Top photo: (by me, High shutter)

Bottom photo: (by me, low shutter)

Shutter speed:

1a. 1/160

1b. 1/80

1c. 1/400 (with a higher ISO)

1d. 1/320

1e. 1/20

1f. 1/400

2a. 1/8

2b. 1/5

2c. 1/400

2d. 3"

2e. 1/25

2f. 1/4"

The camera has 1/4000 which is used in very bright light or when shooting a very fast subject.

The camera also has a BULB setting which you can create your own shutter speed but it is used more often for longer exposures the camera doesn't have programmed. 

The camera also has 30" exposure which is a long exposure and should have a tripod to keep the picture in focus and not blur from moving the subject in the picture.

Top photo: ISO 200

Middle photo: ISO 3200

Bottom photo: ISO 6400

1. Shooting at a higher ISO allows the camera to be more sensitive to the light making the picture brighter and making the camera able to shoot at a faster shutter speed making the picture in normal light.

2. The author suggests a lower ISO to defend against a high noise/grain result in the photo resulting in higher image quality.

3. The author says, only when absolutely necessary shoot at a high ISO because it becomes really grainy and ruins the photo and says you should stick to base ISO.
