Photography Notes

  • APERTURE: device on the camera that opens and closes to control how long the focal plane is exposed to light
  • SPEED: unit of measurement which determines how long shutter remains open as the picture is taken
    • the slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time
    • shutter speed and aperture together control the total amount of light reaching the sensor
  • DEPTH OF FIELD: amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph
