Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

f2.8

f16

1. We can closely relate aperture to our eyes.
2. The smaller the aperture size, the higher the aperture f-stop number.
3. Aperture effects depth of field by how much it blurs out the background, and the area in focus.

2. The three settings on my camera are aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual mode. Aperture priority lets you focus on the aperture and the camera calculates the shutter speed for you. Shutter priority lets you set the shutter speed and sets the aperture for you.  Manual mode sets the aperture and the shutter speed for you. 

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1. If you set you camera at a higher ISO while at a sporting event it is beneficial because it helps with avoiding blurs and getting a sharper looking photo by letting you capture the same photo as a lesser ISO but at a faster pace. 

2. When there is plenty of light you can use the base ISO setting to retain the most amount of detail. 

3. You should increase the ISO in low-light settings,and when you are capturing fast moving shots.
