Essential Tips
Shutter
Speeds
- Select a fast shutter speed to freeze moving subjects. To
heighten a photograph's sense of movement and drama, select slow shutter
speeds that make moving subjects appear as dynamic, blurred images on
film. Apperture
- Use the apperture to dictate the amount of light reaching the film and
control image brightness. The sixe of the apperture also affects the
amount of the scene that will be recorded in sharp focus. The zone
of sharpness extending both in front of and behind the part of the subject
you focused on is known as the "depth of field".
-
use a
wide apperture setting to soften distracting or ugly background detail
-
The
smaller the apperture setting, the deeper the depth of field.
-
The size
of the apperture is indicated by F-stops, which are often displayed on
the barrel of the lens.
-
The
larger the F-stop, the smaller the lens apperture.
