Aperture versus Shutter

APERTURE vs. SHUTTER

Aperture: A device that controls the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor. Also called the f-Number.

-small aperture: The advantage to having a small aperture is it increases the depth-of-field. An increased depth-of-field allows you to take pictures of landscapes in very sharp focus. This also you to use a slow shutter speed.

-large aperture: A large aperture allows more light to reach the sensor which also allows you to use a faster shutter speed.




Shutter Speed: The amount of time the shutter stays open while talking a photograph.

Blog #1 - February 9th, 2011

This photo really caught my attention because of the lighting, and how the sun makes a cool effect on the building. The area just seems really chill to me. I would like to recreate a photo like this one because it seems really "catchy". I got this photo from ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/27777936@N08/5434071738/in/photostream/




This photo of a hood ornament on a Cadillac El Dorado caught my attention it is taken from a good angle, I like Cadillac cars and their symbols. I would like to recreate this effect because I like cars and shots that are taken like that. Found this photo on http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericalu/2730715138/
