The exposure triangle and how it affects your images.

SHUTTER SPEED The shutter speed is the speed at which the shutter opens and closes. The slower the shutter speed, more light enters the camera. The faster the shutter speed less light enters the camera. The shutter speed also affects motion; lets say you are shooting a fast moving subject and you want to freeze the motion, you would then use a fast shutter speed. But let say you want the subject to be blurred then you would use a slow shutter speed.  fast shutter speed slow shutter speed APERTURE The Aperture is the opening inside your lens where light travels through the opening to the camera sensor. The aperture is represented by f-stop or f-numbers. If you look on your...
