Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake.
Concepts in Photography Crouching photography Aperture Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the keep a straight posture. camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera.
Concepts in Photography The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an Aperture value and the depth of field “F-number.” The f-number represents the focal length divided by the You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the diameter of the lens.
Concepts in Photography Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Shutter speed Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in. Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter.
Concepts in Photography Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive ISO sensitivity to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the speed to allow more light to enter the camera.
Concepts in Photography How the aperture setting, shutter speed, Settings Results and ISO sensitivity control exposure The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely Fast speed interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the = less light Shutter speed opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter Slow speed speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter.
Concepts in Photography Long focal length Correlation between focal length, angle, and perspective Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between telephoto lens the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of captured images.
Concepts in Photography What controls out-of-focus effects? Depth of field Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on DOF depends on aperture value which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened. The wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the This is called ‘a low DOF’...

Concepts in Photography DOF depends on focal length DOF depends on the distance between the subject and the camera The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens with a longer focal length than a telescope lens with a short focal length The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the is better to capture a photo of a low DOF.
Concepts in Photography DOF preview Composition You can use the Custom button to get an idea of what your shot will It is fun to capture a photo of the beauty of world with a camera.

When you press the button, the camera matter how the world is beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot adjusts the aperture to the predefined settings and shows the results on capture the beauty of it.
Concepts in Photography Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling Photos with two subjects compositions. Below are a few examples. If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo.

It’s maximum amount of light created is represented by a value known not easy, however, to have an enough amount of light anytime and as a “guide number.”...
Concepts in Photography Bounce Photography Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos captured with flash may appear unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos captured with bounce photography cast no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light.
