Aperture, IOS,Shutter Speed Notes





Fundamental of Photography
The Trinity of Photography
Aperture is an opening
The bigger the F number the smaller the opening
The smaller the F number the bigger the opening

The higher the opening the blurrier the background appears 
The lower the opening the sharper the background appears   
Aperture controls the amount of depth of field

Shutter is like a curtain that opens and closes 
To stop the motion of somebody walking, the minimum shutter speed is 1/150
To stop motion of somebody running, the minimum shutter speed is 1/250
Shutter speed controls the amount of motion blur in a photo

IOS
IOS is a setting for your cameras sensitivity of light
ISO adjusts the sensor in the camera that detects an image

Rule of Thumb: 
use a low IOS when there is a lot of light
When shooting with fast shutter speed, you will have to increase IOS if photos come out to dark
When shooting at night, you will have to increase IOS if photos pick up too much light
