nominal time for which a shutter is open at a given setting. What this does to your images it allows more an less light into the camera at a given time, faster shutter speeds give you a stop motion picture where slow shutter speeds give you a motion picture.

ISO ISO measures the

sensitivity of the image sensor. The same principles apply as in film photography – the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain the higher the ISO. What this allows you to do is

Aperture & Depth of Field An aperture f/2.8 is wide,

while an aperture of f/22 is small. A small aperture will give you a deep depth of field but on the other hand a wide aperture will give you a shallow depth of field

Manual Exposure You can change either

aperture or shutter speed, once the camera is in the manual exposure mode, the current aperture and shutter speed are shown on the monitor

Automatic Exposure Abbreviated as AE

automatic exposure is a standard feature on digital cameras that will automatically figure our the correct exposure for pictures without any user input other than to select the AE option before taking a picture.

Rule Of Thirds The rule of thirds is done

by aligning a subject with guide lines, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line or allowing linear features to flow from section to section.

Analogous Colours Analogous Colours are

groups of three colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel, with one being the dominant colour which tends to be a primary or secondary colour .

Complementary Colours Complementary colors

are pairs of colors when combines cancel each other out. This means that when they are combined they produce a grey-scaled color like white or black when placed next to each other they give the strongest contrast.

extreme close up’s photography usually of very small objects and organisms in which the subject in the photograph is greater than life size
