LECTURE

Exposure Setting
In photography, exposure refers to the amount of light which reaches your camera sensor.

Figure 1.1 - Exposure

Shutter speed and aperture adjust the luminous exposure of an image. Camera ISO affects the brightness of your image.

1. Iris
Controls the flow of light entering the lens. It's measured by f-stop. Ex. f/1, f/8, f/16. The lower the number, the larger the lens opening.

2. Shutter Speed
Small plastic that opens and closes to allow or prevent light from reaching the film. It's measured by seconds. Ex. 1/1000s, 1/500s, 1/25s.

3. ISO
Refers to the sensitivity of the camera's sensor. The common settings are: 100, 200, 400 etc. The lower the ISO, the less sensitive your camera is light and the finer the grain.

Lens Perspective
Appropriate lens provides the desired framing, lens choice affects angle of view. Different lens are designed for different purposes and can be categorised by focal length. 

1. Focal Length
The shorter the focal length, the wider the view.

2. Depth of Field
The proportion of image that is sharp and in focus. The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field.

Wide angle lens are ideal for fitting a large area into your frame and are especially useful for landscape or street photography. 

Standard lens offer a fairly accurate representation of what the human eye sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective. Images created by standard lens are considered more natural than using an other type of lens

Tele lens are useful for isolating a subject that is far away.
