    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
