4. · Shutter Speed · Aperture · ISO basics There are really only three things that you need to learn to understand photography.
5. Shutter Speed The duration the shutter is open directly corresponds to how much light is hitting the sensor.
6. Aperture The larger the hole, the more light gets through to the sensor.
7. ISO How sensitive your camera is to the light that managed to get through to the sensor. (Yes, it is the same ISO you are thinking about… )
8. Your camera does not matter
9. Until it does.
10. techniques Compositional
11. timing It’s all about the
12. Time of the day
15. right Just the light
19. moment Capturing that
26. Symmetry & Pattern
29. & lines Angles
32. Simplicity & isolation
39. Shallow depth of field
43. Rule o thirds
46. BREAK ALL THE RULES…
47. Going DIGITAL
48. Mega pixels
49. Image sensor formats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format
50. JPEG versus RAW
51. When possible, shoot in RAW
52. Gear camera
55. Just about any camera will do.
56. Economy
57. Buy good glass.
58. Lenses
60. Zoom lens A zoom lens is a mechanical assembly of lens elements for which the focal length (and thus angle of view) can be varied, as opposed to a prime lens.
61. Prime lens A prime lens is a photographic lens whose focal length is fixed, as opposed to a zoom lens.
