Aperture and shutter speed regulate light exposure. Depth of field refers to the zone of sharp focus. Common shots include establishing shots, master shots, close-ups, and extreme close-ups. Camera angles can be high, low, or eye-level to influence perspective. Camera movements include pans, tilts, tracks, cranes, and steadicam shots.
Photography involves capturing light with a camera. There are two main types of cameras - compact point-and-shoot cameras and SLR cameras. SLR cameras allow more manual control and produce higher quality photos. Key factors that impact a photo include aperture, shutter speed, ISO, zoom, focus, lighting, composition techniques like rule of thirds, and ensuring photos are properly exposed. Photography requires an understanding of how different settings affect light and depth of field.
Shutter speed determines how long a camera's shutter is open when taking a photo. A faster shutter speed lets in less light, while a slower shutter speed lets in more light. ISO measures the sensitivity of an image sensor - lower numbers mean less sensitivity to light and less grain. Aperture and depth of field are related - a narrow aperture gives a shallow depth of field with a blurred background, while a wide aperture gives a wider depth of field with a clearer background. Manual exposure allows controlling aperture, shutter speed, focus, ISO and depth of field. White balance settings change the color balance, and the rule of thirds technique positions subjects along the thirds lines to create a more aesthetically pleasing composition.
Shutter speed determines how long the camera shutter is open when capturing an image. Faster shutter speeds are used in bright light and slower speeds are used in low light. ISO controls the sensitivity of the image sensor, with higher ISO numbers producing brighter but grainier images. Aperture and depth of field are related - smaller f-stops produce more blurred backgrounds with a shallow depth of field, while larger f-stops produce less blurred backgrounds with a long depth of field. The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline where important elements are placed along imaginary lines or intersections rather than at the center of the frame. Manual exposure gives the photographer full control over shutter speed, aperture, and ISO settings.

flash, but you need to know how to
manually turn the flash off or on for special
conditions. Turn off the flash when it will
be useless. For example, photographing a
person far away under dim light
conditions.

20. Histogram ?Histogram ?
Each pixel in an image has a color which has been produced by some
combination of the primary colors red, green, and blue (RGB).
Each of these colors can have a brightness value ranging from 0 to 255.
A RGB histogram results when the camera logic scans through each of these
RGB brightness values and counts how many are at each level from 0 through
255.
Technically the histogram simply tells you if your image is properly exposed.
It provides an indication that some part of your image may be under or over
exposed, but that determination is yours to decide.

24. White Balance
• White balance adjusts the white
Color quality of your image.
• Digital cameras usually have
adjustable white balance settings for
electronic flash, shade, sunlight,
fluorescent lighting and tungsten lighting.
• Most cameras default to “auto”
white balance and some cameras allow it
to be set separately.

46. Pixels
A pixel is a contraction of the term Picture Element. Digital images are
made up of small squares, just like a tile mosaic on your kitchen or
bathroom wall. Though a digital photograph looks smooth and
continuous just like a regular photograph, it's actually composed of
millions of tiny squares as shown below.
On the left the full image, on the right the area in the red square
magnified to show individual pixels
Each pixel in the image has a numerical value of between 0 and 255 and is made up
of three color channels. So for example a pixel could be 37-red, 76-green and 125-
blue and it would then look like this . If it was 162-red, 27-green and 12-blue, it
would look like this .
47. File Types
• JPEG (JPG): The most common format.
This is a “lossy” compression
format that can be saved at
various
qualities.
• TIFF: A “loss-less” compression format
of
a higher quality that is better for
very high quality prints but
has larger file size.
• RAW: Actual image from the camera
48. Image Size
Refers to the dimensions
of the image, measured in
pixels. Pictures taken at
smaller sizes require less
memory and are suitable for distribution by email or on the
web. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at
which
it can be printed or displayed without loosing quality (becoming
“grainy”).
