Aperture
This determined by how much light is being let in through the lens opening.
Aperture
Otherwise known as exposure time, this is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light.
Shutter Speed
This camera setting brightens the photo digitally rather than manipulating the lens.
ISO
When you move your camera closer or farther away from the subject/objects you’re taking a photo, you are adjusting this.
This is the mode usually located on the top dial of a DSLR camera, that you should select in order to have full control over your image.
Manual
A type of depth of field which describes the effect of having the background very blurred in comparison to an object in the foreground which is in sharp focus.
Shallow Depth of Field
What you would do to a baseball being thrown in mid-air, using a fast shutter speed such as 1000.
Freeze
Otherwise known as noise, you will start to notice this in your photo when setting your camera to 1600 ISO or higher.
Grain
By increasing the distance between your background, subject and camera, your background would appear to be this way.
Blurry
Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO and Distance help you control this.
Depth of Field
A type of depth of field which describes the effect of having the background and foreground all in sharp focus.
Deep depth of field
What tires on a speeding car would appear to do in a photo, with a slow shutter speed such as 30.
Blur
This is the ISO number you should have as a default when approaching most photography situations.
400
A type of lens that only covers one focal length, and does not zoom.
Prime
The small metal plate (or hot shoe) that sits on top of a DLSR camera, above the viewfinder, allows you to add this additional light source.
Flash
This is another word for aperture which describes the numbers by which the camera's iris opening is measured.
F-Stop
The stabilizing piece of equipment you would need in order to take a long-exposure photo of the stars at night.
Tripod
It is preferred that you set your ISO higher when taking the photo to get a good image, rather than doing this in post.
Editing
A type of lens that zooms to the farther depth of field range (such as 200mm), usually resulting in a shallow depth of field.
Telephoto
This is the setting that determines which type of light you have around you, to get a natural-looking shade of white.
