Camera

The camera is a dark room or chamber from which all light is excluded except the light that forms the image.

The subject being photographed, however, must be illuminated.

APERTURE

is a hole or an opening through which light travels.

a wide aperture results in an image that is sharp around what the lens is focusing on and blurred otherwise.

the narrower the aperture, the darker the image

SHUTTER SPEED

Adjustment of the speed of the shutter to control the amount of time the imaging medium is exposed to light.

Shutter speed may be used to control the amount of light striking the image.

Faster shutter speeds (shorter duration) decrease both the amount of light and image blurring from motion.

METERING

Measurement of exposure so that highlights and shadows are exposed according to the photographer's wishes.

Many modern cameras meter and set exposure automatically.

ISO SPEED

The higher the ISO number the greater the film sensitivity to light.

A lower ISO number the film is less sensitive to light.

A combination of ISO speed, aperture, and shutter speed leads to an image that is neither too dark nor too light.
