First, let's break down technical terms in the digital world:
1. SHUTTER SPEED - Adjusting this makes it possible for moving subjects to be sharp in a photo or if you want the effect to be blurry in nature. You may achieve this by adjusting a dial in your DSLR camera.
Remember: *The higher the number (i.e. 1/250) = the darker the photo; sharper photo
*The lower the number (i.e. 1/1.5) = the brighter the photo; more blurred
So you must adjust the other settings to fit a proper exposure.
 |
| Shutter speed: 1/250; F-stop: f/5.6; ISO-6400 |
 |
| Shutter speed: 1/8; F-stop: f/22; ISO-6400 |
*Camera used: Canon EOS 1100D
2. F-STOP/APERTURE - Opening of a camera's aperture to permit light, similar to our human iris. If you want to create a photo with either a shallow or wide depth of field, this is what you need to adjust. You may adjust this by pressing the f-stop button AND rotating the dial.
Remember: *The lower the F-stop (i.e. f/2.8) = the larger the opening of the lens; exposure is brighter; more shallow depth of field
*The higher the F-stop (i.e. f/22) = the smaller the opening; exposure is darker; greater depth of field
 |
| Shutter speed: 1/1250; F-stop: f/5.6; ISO-3200 |
 |
| Shutter speed: 1/60; F-stop: f/32; ISO-3200 |
*Camera used: NIKON D3100
3. ISO - This is simply the sensitivity to light. This darkens or brightens a photo exposure. To adjust, find the ISO menu and from there, choose the ISO number.
Remember: *The lower the ISO (i.e. ISO-100) = darker the photo; lower noise quality
*The higher the ISO (i.e. ISO-3200) = brighter the photo; higher noise quality
 |
| Shutter speed: 1/4; F-stop: f/25; ISO-200 |
 |
| Shutter speed: 1/50; F-stop: f/25; ISO-3200 *Camera used: Canon EOS 1100D |
