Three pillars of photography: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

Photo taken at aperture setting F2.8


Photo taken at aperture setting F16


1. The part of the body that we should closely relate aperture with is the eye.
2. The smaller the Aperture the larger the f-number, the higher the Aperture the smaller the f-number.
3. Aperture impacts Depth of Field because a smaller f-number will focus on the most noticeable thing and withe a larger f-number the background objects will become sharp.



Slow shutter speed

Aperture Priority - you will set the aperture and the shutter speed will automatically set its self
Shutter Priority - you will set the shutter speed and the aperture automatically sets its self 
Manual - you change both aperture and shutter setting depending on how you want your photo to come out


F4 - 1/125 - the background is very blurry and you can only see the couple clearly 
F5.6 - 1/60 - the picture still shows up blurry in the background but it is more visible and the couple is        clear
F8 - 1/60 - the picture's background is the same as the one before but the photo is a bit darker
F11 - 1/60 - the background is less blurry  but the whole photo is darker
F16 - 1/30 - the background is almost clear but the photo is dark
F22 - 1/15 - the background is as clear as the couple but the photo is still dark

When the shutter speed is slow the photo becomes blurry because the subjects might not stay still or the photographer might be moving their hand. Something that the photographer could do to make it a better picture is to use something to hold the camera still like a tripod.

The lowest Shutter Speed i think a photographer can hand-hold the camera without a tripod is at shutter speed 1/30.
