Getting started in photography? Here are some basic photography concepts that may be helpful for you:

• Exposure: Exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor or film. It is controlled by three factors: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
  • Aperture is the size of the lens opening and controls the amount of light that enters the camera.
  • Shutter speed is the length of time that the camera’s shutter is open and controls the amount of time that the camera is exposed to light.
  • ISO is the sensitivity of the camera’s sensor to light and controls the camera’s sensitivity to light.

• Composition: Composition is the way that elements in a photograph are arranged. Some basic composition techniques include the rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing.
  • The rule of thirds is a basic principle of photography that suggests that an image can be divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines. It suggests that subjects should be placed along these lines or at the intersections of them for a more balanced and interesting composition.
  • Leading lines are lines in the photograph that lead the eye to the subject.
  • Framing is the use of elements in the photograph to frame the subject.

• Lighting: Lighting is an important factor in photography. It can affect the mood, contrast, and overall look of a photograph. There are three types of lighting: natural, artificial, and flash.
  • Natural lighting is the light that is available in the environment, such as sunlight or moonlight.
  • Artificial lighting is light that is created by man-made sources, such as lamps and flashlights.
  • Flash is a burst of light that is produced by the camera’s flash unit.
