shutter speed
Shutter speed is the length of time a camera's shutter is
open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that
reaches the image sensor is proportional to the exposure time.
Fast Shutter Speed-A fast shutter speed freezes movement,
therefore capturing a great image the majority of the time.
Slow Shutter Speed-A slow shutter speed is useful for when
it's quite dark and we need to let more light into the camera or
when we want to introduce some blur into our photo.

rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is a basic principle in photography that requires that an image is broken down into three parts, on the horizontal and vertical.
A image is normally divided into 9 equal parts with the important parts in the middle of the picture.

Viewpoint
Viewpoint is defined as the angle, direction or stance from
which you choose to shoot each image. While shooting from
a standing position is most commonly used (especially by beginning photographers),
exploring other options or ways of seeing your subject can
invigorate your work.The way you position you camera for
example birds eye view,this is when you take a picture above
something. Also a worm's eye view is when you take a picture
looking up like a worm.

Depth of field
Depth of field is the distance between the nearest
and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.It varies depending on the camera type,aperture and focus distance. Depth of field is good when you want someone/something to really stand out, when you really want to get the close up details of something. Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. It varies depending on camera type, aperture and focusing distance, although print size and viewing distance can also influence our perception of depth of field. |
Aperture
Aperture is the opening of a lens on your camera which allows how much light gets through.
When you press the button of your camera the lens opens up which allows your cameras image sensor to see the scene. The aperture that you set impacts the size of the lens. The larger the lens the more light that gets in,the smaller the lens the less light.When the aperture is wide it blurs the background and the foreground of the image. The only thing that is in focus is the thing you are focusing on. Wide aperture is good for taking a portrait picture because it blurs everything but your subject, creating a shallow depth of field and making your subject stand out. You use a small aperture when there is a lot of lighting in the background. Using a low aperture allows you to have a slower shutter speed which is good for taking pictures of moving things. Aperture is measured in F-Stops. The lower the F-Stop the wider the opening of the aperture and the higher the aperture the smaller the opening of the aperture. |
