[QUOTE="hilal, post: 1525950, member: 23926"] [LEFT]the initial things that i learned about photography were shutter speed and aperture. so, what are actually those two stuffs? well, shutter speed is the period of shutter opening to allow lights come into the camera's brain, the sensor. the longer shutter opens (lower shutter speed) means more lights will come in thus making the image brighter. but keep in mind, with lower shutter speed, pictures are prone to be blur. this is because our hand cannot be hold static for a long time. however this problem can be solved by using a tripod or higher ISO. yes.. Image Stabilizer will also help but still cannot solve for a very long exposure @ slow shutter speed. eg: slow shutter speed = 1/30 and below, fast shutter speed = 1/250 and above an example shot with faster shutter speed [1/8] http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j205/hilal86/misc/highshutter.jpg an example shot with slower shutter speed [1/5] http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j205/hilal86/misc/lowshutter.jpg so i guess that's it for a brief explaination about shutter speed.. n how about aperture? aperture is how large the diagphram opens to allow the lights come into the sensor.. so, what's the effect of aperture to our pictures? well.. aperture brings huge difference in producing shots for those who know how to control it and those who don't. large aperture will make the object that u focus on clear while the background will be blur. whereas using small aperture will make everythings clear (the object and background). so, where and under what circumstances are suitable in using large and small aperture? we usually use large aperture for portraits, macro and when we want to emphasize the object. in another way, we normally use small aperture to capture shots of scenery. REMEMBER! large aperture = small aperture number on your camera. eg: F/3.5 = large aperture, F/8 = small aperture an example shot with higher aperture [F/3.5] http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j205/hilal86/misc/highaperture.jpg an example shot with lower aperture [F/8] http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j205/hilal86/misc/lowaperture.jpg other than blurring the background, larger aperture will also make the image brighter because of larger opening of the diaphragm thus we can make use of faster shutter speed. that means, picture won't easily to be blur. whereas, by using smaller aperture, image will be darker, so we need to use slower shutter speed to balance the picture exposure. when using slow shutter speed, that means, pictures are prone to be blur thus need extra caution when taking pics. or using a tripod will be better!
