What I learned in Still Images
1. Aperature is how much light comes throught the opening. With a big aperature you will have more light and with a small aperature you get less light.
2. The shutter speed is how long the shutter is open for.
3. In pinhole photography, you have to converte negative images into positive images.
4. The exposure in a camera is like a triangle. In one corner is the aperature to determine the depth of field. In another corner is the IOS speed to determine the image noise. An in the third corner is the Shutter speed to determine how blurry the motion will be.
5. Material that is sensitive to light is put in the back of the camera.
6. There are many things to consider while taking a photo such as the different texture, space, value, and colour.
