Shutter Speed blog post

The 3 camera settings that comprise the Exposure Triangle are aperture, Shutter speed and ISO

On the back monitor of our Canon DSLR cameras, the aperture setting is displayed with “F” followed by a number.  

Apertures (from smallest openings to 1/4000 at f5.6 ISO 800 largest openings) are typically numbers f/22, f/16, f/11, f/8, f/5.6, f/4, f/2.8

ISO 400 1/4000 f5.6

The shutter speed settings are shown on the top right (left or right?) on the back monitor. 

Expressed as fractions of a second, the shortest or highest shutter speed on our cameras are seconds and the longest or slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds.

Examples of Shutter speeds (not in order) are1/1000 , 1”, ⅛”. 1/60/ 1/500, 1/4000, 1/125, ½, 1/30,1/2000,1/250, (arrange these in order when you put them in your blog post) 1/40 f111 ISO 400

The third setting ISO controls the camera’s sensitivity to light. 

This setting goes from 100, 200,400,800,1600,3200 on our cameras.

To center the meter on our cameras, we can either  change the aperture,shutter speed, or the ISO settings.

Finally, My last photo for this assignment Jacob stood behind a dark wall and we used a tripod to have a steady support to get the image to look like he is a ghost.

This picture of Jacob was taken using 2 sec ISO 100 f13 2
