15 Concepts in Phot ography Aper ture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure . The aper ture housing contains thin, metal pla tes that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is related t o the amount of light: a larger aperture allows more light and a smaller aper[...]

16 Concepts in Phot ography Aperture value and the depth of eld Y ou can blur or sharpen the backgr ound of a photo by contr olling the aper ture . It is closely related to the depth of eld (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large . A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF The aperture housing contains several blades. These bl[...]

17 Concepts in Phot ography Shutter speed Shutter speed ref ers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter .

18 Concepts in Phot ography ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is det ermined by the sensitivity of the camera.

19 Concepts in Phot ography How the aper ture setting , shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposur e The aperture setting, shutter speed , and ISO sensitivity are closely interc onnected in photography .

20 Concepts in Phot ography Corr elation between f ocal length, angle, and perspective F ocal length, which is measured in millimeters , is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point . It aects the angle and perspec tive of captured images. A short focal length translat es into a wide angle, which allows you t o capture a wid[...]

21 Concepts in Phot ography Depth of eld P or traits or still-life photos mostly ac claimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of f ocus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas , a photo can be blurred or sharpened. This is called 'a low DOF' or 'a high DOF' . The depth of eld is [...]

22 Concepts in Phot ography DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length is , the lower the DOF gets . A telescope lens with a longer focal length than a wide-angle lens with a shor t focal length is better to capture a phot o of a low DOF . A photo captured with a 16 mm wide-angle lens A photo captured with a 100 mm telescope lens DOF d[...]
