Notes

Fundamentals of Photography
The trinity of photography

Aperture is an opening
The bigger the F number the smaller the opening
The smaller the F number the bigger the opening

The bigger the opening the blurrier the background appears
The smaller the opening the sharper the background appears
Aperture controls the amount of Depth of Field


Shutter Speed 
Shutter is like a curtain that opens and closes
To stop the motion of somebody walking, the minimum  shutter speed is 1/150
To stop the motion of somebody running, the minimum shutter speed is 1/250
Shutter speed controls the anunt of motion blur in a photo


ISO
ISO is a setting for your cameras sensitivity to light 
ISO adjusts the sensor in the camera that detects an image
Rule of Thumb: use a low ISO when theres a lot of light
When shooting with fast shutter speed, you will have to increase ISP if photos come out dark
When shooting at night, you will have to increase the ISO for the sensor to pick up more light
