Photography: Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO, Focus, and more.

My friend, who took 3 years of Photography, showed me a bunch of stuff about the Nikon D3100 and he wrote it all down for me, so I'll copy it onto here!

Shutter speed = how fast the shutter goes (opens up). The higher the speed the less light it lets in, but it Will Freeze Motion, so if you want to take sports pictures, you will want a fast shutter speed and a low F-Stop (Aperture).

Aperture (or F-stop) = Controls how much light is let in and then depth of field. Lower is short depth of fiens, hight is long depth of field.

ISO = Light sensitivity. The lower the number, the less sensitive the camera will be the light. The higher, the more.

Focus = Keep lens on Auto (Manuel), it makes lfe esasier. Hold down the button half way to focus.

It's really cool how you take two pictures and you almost make one part like a ghost. It's really cool! Thanks for everything you showed/taught me, Chapman! You're the man :) #ThanksChap
