Chapter 4: Camera Settings, Aperture & F-Stop
Determines how much light is allowed to enter the camera to reach the imaging sensor and measured in F-Stop. This is controlled mechanically, by opening or closing the camera aperture. Different lenses have different apertures, handling different f-stop rang...
Chapter 3: Camera Settings, ISO
ISO The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) established a numerical scale to rate how sensitive different kinds of film were to light. This scale was retained for digital cameras. When you change the ISO value on a DSLR, you can think of it...
Chapter 1: 5 Elements of Exposure
The Exposure Triangle A photographer must understand the relationship between ISO (how sensitive the light sensor will be to light), f-stop/aperture (how much light is allowed to pass through the lens), and shutter speed (how rapidly the shutter closes, cut...
Chapter 2: Elements of Exposure, ISO
ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization (it is technically not an acronym). This organization established a numerical scale to rate how sensitive different kinds of film were to light (called a film's speed). The current standard date...
Chapter 3: Elements of Exposure, Aperture
The F-Stop setting determines how much light is allowed to enter a camera through the lens to reach the imaging sensor. F-stop is normally a setting of the lens that is attached to the camera, and is controlled mechanically, by opening or closing the lens aper...
Chapter 4: Elements of Exposure, Shutter Speed
The shutter speed, aka exposure time, is the time that the image sensor is exposed to light when capturing an image. The shutter is a mechanical window inside the camera that opens and closes to allow light into the sensor for a selected amount of time. This ...
Chapter 5: Elements of Exposure, Filtration
Filtration in photography involves placing glass, resin, or plastic filters over the lens to control light, color, and image quality. There are three important filters you should know: ND Filters Neutral Density (ND) Filters act as sunglasses for the len...
Chapter 6: Elements of Exposure, External Lights
External lights (either natural or artificial) are the primary source when determining exposure, which then dictates how you setup your camera settings. Here are some key elements when going to shoot photos: Ambient Light (Natural/Available Light) The pr...
Chapter 7: White Balance
Digital cameras require a certain amount of calibration to capture color information (RGB) properly. This calibration is called white balance, because the camera is being given the information it needs to identify white areas of the image and reproduce them co...
Chapter 9: Lenses
Focal Length is the measurement of the lens in mm. There are two types of lenses; Prime and Zoom, and three categories; Telephoto, 50 (Normal), and Wide. Prime lenses Have only one focal length Zoom lenses Have multiple focal lengths (multifocal)...
