Photography notes

Standard SLR camera

  • the smaller the aperture number the larger the opening the more light that will come into your camera

  • as the aperture number gets bigger the background becomes more

  • too much light = overexposed

  • too little light = underexposed

  • shutter open for long times captures blurry movements

  • shutter open for short time captures a still image

  • circle means correct exposure

  • + = overexposed

  • - = underexposed

  • If photo is too light change aperture to 5.6

  • if photo is too dark change aperture to 11
