Exposure
When we talk about EXPOSURE in photography we are referring to the amount of light that is allowed into the photograph. This is a huge factor in determining a good or bad photo. If a photo is too dark or too light then it will be an unusable photo not matter how well composed it might have been. The three main factors in determining EXPOSURE are below.
ISO
ISO is the number that determines how sensitive the cameras sensor will be to the light. The ISO # you need to choose is determined by the lighting situation you are in. Higher ISO #s are good for lower light situations while lower ISO #s are good for brighter light situations.

Aperture
The APERTURE value is the size of the opening in the lens. These are typically shown as f/#. The greater the F/# the smaller the APERTURE opening. The lower the f/# the larger the APERTURE opening. The larger the APERTURE opening the more light that will be allowed into the cameras sensor.
|
Shutter SpeedSHUTTER SPEED tells the camera's shutter how long to stay open for light to enter the camera. This is measured in seconds and fractions of seconds. The faster the SHUTTER SPEED the less light will enter the cameras sensor and the more likely you are to be able to stop motion in your photo.

Depth of Field
DEPTH OF FIELD in photography refers to the amount of the photographic scene that is in focus. A deeper/longer DOF means that most or all of the photograph is in focus, including the subject. A shallower/shorter DOF means that only a portion of the photo is in focus, including the subject. You can use DOF to create emphasis and/or get rid of distracting elements. The three main factors that effect DOF are below.
Aperture
APERTURE is the size of the opening of the lens. Having a more wide open APERTURE (a smaller f/#) will create a more shallow DOF.
|
DistanceDISTANCE is referring to the proximity of the camera to the subject as well as the proximity of the subject with it's background. The closer the camera is to the subject the easier it will be to create a shallow DOF. The further the subject is from the background the easier it will be to blur the background.
|
Focal Length
FOCAL LENGTH refers to how far in you have your camera zoomed in or not on your subject. The further you are zoomed in the easier it will be to create a shallow DOF.
