Shooting with DSLR
3 elements
- aperture
- shutter
- ISO

Setting exposure helps achieve the desired brightness & adjustment of light by changing the combination of shutter speed & aperture

Depth of field - become an important factor in creating the final outcomes of an image
> Large the aperture ring open - less dof
> smaller the aperture ring open - more dof

Aperture - F number
Zoom lens (18mm) F3.5/f22 variable aperture
                 (55mm) F5.6/f36 ; opening aperture small,shutter speed longer
                     (more light)

Shutter speed - control to freeze the subject
F22,1/25 sec - car movement
F22,5 sec - waterfall
f2.8,1/2000 sec - freeze the kid play skateboard

Slow shutter speed exposure are use to enhence motion

Fast shutter speed is used to freeze motion
shutter speed are also used to eliminate moving subject under ISO light condition

ISO sensitivity >>>how sensitive the sensor to the light
ISO 100 to 320 (expendiable tpo 12800)

When to change ISO?

- Low ISO option ; low iso speed allow you to shoot still subject under any lighting condition with the
                              fine image detail
- Long Shutter speed ; high ISO option (indoor) - under low light condition allow you to capture
                                   movement without aid of flash
