today we will be talking about the basics in Photography!!!
first of all what is photography?
Photography means "Drawing with lights"
hence there will be no photography if there is no light DUH!
Lets talk about EXPOSURE
you can control exposure in 3 different ways
One is by adjusting the shutter speed
The shutter speed is the amount of time light hits the camera sensor. The longer the shutter speed, the more light gets through and the brighter the picture gets. The shutter speed is like two curtains closing a performance stage.
shutter speed is shown as 1/6, 1/50, 1/100, 1/200 so on so fort this shows how fast your shutter is. take note
shutter speed controls the time in which the light hits the camera censor which means if you have a fast shutter speed the amount of light that the sensor receive is shorter hence less light, or a darker picture.
the shutter speed can also be used to lessen camera blur, having higher shutter speed helps you capture fast moving objects or just help you when you shaky hand.
having slow shutter speed means more time for the light to enter your camera hence more exposed image. be careful w hen you use slow shutter speed especially when your not using a tripod, the tendencies are your images will come out blurry . use slow shutter speed when only it is needed.
Second is by adjusting the ISO
ISO means International Organization for Standardization which is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national standards organization. (Wikipedia) ISO controls the cameras sensitivity to light. It is indicated by numbers like 50, 100, 200 up to 100,000. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the camera is to light. The ISO is responsible or maintaining the quality of the picture. But put in mind that if the ISO becomes too high the image will become grainy or starts to have noise. The safest ISO not to have grains is 100-400. It is good for beginners. In setting up your camera, adjusting the ISO is always the last resort if adjusting the shutter speed and aperture isn't good enough
Lastly Aperture
The aperture is the measurement of the camera's hole opening that controls the exposure by letting light get through. The larger the hole, the more light gets through the camera sensor, the brighter the picture gets. In this case, the aperture is indicated by f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8 and so on. The "f" in this figure means "f-stops" or the ratio of the focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. While the number below is again a divisor. So the figure f/2 means f-stop divided by 2. Which means f/2 is half the diameter of the entrance camera pupil
aperture also controls the dept of field and the the light that comes out of your camera flash.
Now you now this 3 try to mixing them up together to find the best exposure for your image.
have fun!!!!
