Thoughts of beginner photographer from Bournemouth

Focal lenght and distance

The focal length of the lens is the distance between the lens and the image sensor when the subject is in focus, usually stated in mm.

The bigger is the focal length -  the bigger will be the size of the object, especially length.

EXPOSURE

In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area reaching a photographic film or electronic image sensor, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture and scene luminance.

Also change the exposure options to get different effects

ISO

ISO controls the brightness of photos.  A photo taken at too high ISO will show a lot of grain (noise) . So, brightening a photo via ISO is always a trade-off. You should only raise your ISO when you are unable to brighten the photo via shutter speed or aperture.

Always try to stick to the base ISO to get the highest image quality ( lowest native ISO on your camera )

Aperture

Aperture is a hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body. . You can shrink or enlarge the size of the aperture to allow more or less light to reach your camera sensor.

Effects of aperture:

Exsposure

Depth of field

Shutter and shutter speed

Shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time.

Shutter speed is responsible for two particular things:

changing the brightness of your photo 

creating dramatic effects by either freezing action or blurring motion

DEFINITION OF EXPOSURE

Exposure is simply the amount of light which reaches your camera sensor or film. It is crucial in determining how bright or dark your pictures appear. Shutter speed and aperture are the only camera settings that affect exposure. On top of that, brightening or darkening your image on your computer will affect its brightness, and so will changing your ISO setting

Perfect exposure as a perfect triangle - all the angles are equal

Aperture: controls the area over which light can enter your camera Shutter speed: controls the duration of the exposure ISO speed: controls the sensitivity of your camera's sensor to a given amount of light
