Mrs. O Talks Aperture, ISO & WB)

• The numbers written on the lense of the camera are the f/stops, all f/stops availabe in your lens, will be located there.
• The brighter the place you’re shooting in, the higher the f/stop OR the smaller the hole.
• The darker the place you’re shooting in, the smaller the f/stop OR the bigger the hole.
• Shutter speed is different from Aperture as it’s the amount of time you’re letting light in.
• f/stop 8 and higher creates deep depth of field.
• f/stop 5.6 and lower creates shallow focus.
• The glass that makes up the lense of a camera is curved, when light is coming through a smaller f/stop, or a bigger hole, it can create circles of confusion because the light gets confused, which could be a creative choice the photographer makes.
• ISO is the measure of how fast your camera is reacting to light.
• A normal or neutral ISO is about 400.
• The brighter the environment, the smaller ISO needed.
• The darker the environment, the larger ISO needed.
• After you pass 1600 ISO, pixelation occurs due to your camera adjusting to the lack of light.
• Majority of the time, we shoot on auto WB (White Balance)
• When your environment is a certain hue, for example, yellowish, you can adjust your white balance to make up for this.

What is ISO? Photography Tutorial: ISO Made Easy)

• ISO starts for (Interoscillating Systematized Oppopotamus).
• Higher the ISO -> More Sensitivity = Less Light Needed
• Lower the ISO -> Less Sensitivity = More Light Needed
• For best image quality, least amount of noise, and highest dynamic range, a low ISO is better.
• ISO does not have its own creative benefit, it can be used to manipulate one of the other exposure settings (Aperture, or Shutter Speed)
• By adjusting ISO, you can indirectly adjust your shutter speed and make it compensate for the light.
• When you make your ISO too high, it can increase noise, or pixelation in the photo.
