Low shutter speed: Shutter is open for a longer time hence a lot of light is let in which makes the image bright. How does the shutter speed affect my image? And you can change it by either using the dial allocated to the shutter speed (on most cameras close to the trigger) or go into your quick edit settings. You can see the shutter speed value on your back screen as the number on the bottom left. Depending on how long the shutter stays open, you can either freeze the action or blur motion. So the shutter speeds determines how long light is allowed in. When the camera fires, the shutter opens and fully exposes the camera sensor to the light that has passed through the lens. This curtain stays closed until the camera fires. In every camera there is a shutter in front of the sensor. – Not very desirable unless you really want to blur them out for obvious reasons… Shutter Speed In portrait pictures, this means the person’s nose and/or ears are not in focus. Like you see in the far left picture this can cause some of your subject to be out of focus. Tip: Only because you can shoot at a very low f-stop doesn’t mean you always should. Here is an example of the blurriness (the image doesn’t get brighter because I adjusted shutter speed and ISO). Good for landscape photography or setting a scene. This also will make more of the background look sharp and in focus. High f-stop: The blades are more closed, hence less light is let in and a darker image. Good for portraits and generally dope looks. This also will make your background more blurry, creamy, buttery sweet – you know what I mean. Low f-stop: The blades are wider open, hence more light is let in and a brighter image. “Cheaper” lenses usually open up to about F 3.5. Better lenses (unfortunately also much more expensive) will be able to open up wider. How low your f-stop can go will depend on the lens you are using. You will see the blades adjusting the size of the opening. Turn on your camera, look into your lens and change the aperture. The f-stop is the middle number displayed on your camera’s screen (F 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8 etc.). You can regulate the size of the opening by turning the f-stop up and down. It is allocated to one of the dials on your camera’s body (usually right by your thumb). The aperture is the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera. Also, it helps when you have your camera with you… APERTURE Let’s dive straight into this and keep in mind that this applies to your camera in MANUAL mode. Why? Because the sooner you understand how you get the right amount of light into your picture the faster you will be able to master any lighting situation. – by myself #comparisonpointĮven if you are only at the start of your photography journey I recommend you start playing with the manual mode in your camera. Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO are like the salt and pepper of photography.
