A Good Picture is Mostly in Sharp Focus Unless Intended to be Blurry

Best Natural Lighting –Mornings – Sunrise to 10 am

Evenings – 3pm to Sunset

Make Sure

That the Light Source is Behind You

That the Light should be Falling On the Subject

You will get a ---

Good Picture – Correct Exposure

Exposure Controlled by 3 Components

Aperture

Shutter Speed

ISO

Page 45: Basic Photography

Good Picture – Correct Exposure

ApertureControls the Amount of Light Entering the

Camera Through the Aperture or the Iris of the Camera Lens and Falling on the Camera Sensor.

Page 46: Basic Photography

Good Picture – Correct Exposure

ApertureThe aperture of the camera behaves exactly in

the same way the iris of our eyes do.

When there is too much light the iris becomes SMALL or closes up

When there is less light the iris enlarges or OPENS UP

Page 47: Basic Photography

Good Picture – Correct Exposure

ApertureVery Sunny - Small iris – Higher the Number

Low Light – iris opens up – Lower the Number

Page 48: Basic Photography

Good Picture – Correct Exposure

Shutter SpeedThe Speed at which the Shutter of the Camera

Opens and Closes.

It controls the amount of time the light gets to fall on/read by the sensor.

ISOISO helps the camera Sensor to be more or less

sensitive to light.

Usually a Higher ISO is used when the Light is Low.

Note – Higher the ISO, grainier the picture.

Page 56: Basic Photography

Composition/Framing – Depth of Field

• When the background is out of focus

• For 2 reasons• The focus is on the object in the front• And the Aperture is fully open, ie the light is

low or the light entering the camera is less because of the settings you have chosen.
