Concepts in Photography
Standing photography
Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length 
apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Shooting postures
A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a 
good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture 
can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to 
maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a low 
shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement.
Holding the camera
Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger \
on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support.

Crouching photography
Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and 
keep a straight posture.
Aperture
The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the 
camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The 
aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let 
light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture 
is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, 
the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.

(aperture opened wide)

Concepts in Photography
The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an 
“F-number.” The f-number represents the focal length divided by the 
diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length 
has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm.  
(50 mm/25 mm=F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of 
the aperture.
The opening in the aperture is described as the Exposure Value (EV). 
Increasing the Exposure Value (+1 EV) means the amount of light 
doubles. Decreasing the Exposure Value (-1 EV) means the amount of 
light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to 
fine-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 
1/3 EV, and so on.

Exposure Value Steps
Aperture value and the depth of field
You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the 
aperture. It is closely related to the depth of field (DOF), which can be 
expressed as small or large.

The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together 
and control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture. 
The number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting night 
scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an 
equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of \
sections is double the number of blades.
For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an 
aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections.
7 blades 8 blades

Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close 
the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as 
it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before 
it reaches the image sensor.
Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement 
of the shutter speed is known as the “Exposure Value” (EV), which is 
marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s,  
1/2000 s, and so on.
Exposure+1 EV
-1 EV
1s 1/2 s 1/4 s 1/8 s 1/15 s 1/30 s Shutter Speed
Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. 
Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in.
As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time 
to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast 
shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes 
darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.

ISO sensitivity
The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the 
camera. This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known 
as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used 
to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the 
image.
ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an  
ISO 200 setting is capable of capturing images at twice the speed of an \
ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can result in “noise”—
small specks, spots, and other phenomena in a photo that give the shot 
a noisy or dirty appearance. As a general rule, it is best to use a low \
ISO setting to prevent noise in your photos, unless you are shooting in 
darkened environments or at night.
Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivity
Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive 
to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using 
a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter 
speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny 
day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a low 
shutter speed. However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity 
and a fast shutter speed will result in a blurry photo.

How the aperture setting, shutter speed, 
and ISO sensitivity control exposure
The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely 
interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the 
opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter 
speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter. 
ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film reacts to light. 
Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure.
A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be 
offset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light. 
The results, however, change according to the settings. For example, 
shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, aperture can control 
the depth of field, and ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a 
photo.

Correlation between focal length, angle, 
and perspective
Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between 
the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and 
perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a 
wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length 
translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto 
shots.
Short focal length

wide angle wide-angle lens
Long focal length

narrow angle telephoto lens
Look at these photos below and compare the changes.

Normally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and 
a lens with a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or 
portraits.
