Shutter Speed

The 3 camera settings that comprise the Exposure Triangle are Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO

On the back monitor of our Canon DSLR cameras, the aperture setting is displayed with “F” followed by a number.  

Apertures (from smallest openings to largest openings) are typically numbers f/22, f/16, f/11, f/8, f/5.6, f/4, f/2.8

1/4000 at f5.6 ISO 800

f/22, f/16, f/11, f/8, f/5.6, f/4, f/2.8

ISO 400 f/4000 f5.6

The shutter speed settings are shown on the top right on the back monitor. 

Expressed as fractions of a second, the shortest or highest shutter speed on our cameras are x seconds and the longest or slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds.

Examples of Shutter speeds (not in order) are1/1000 , 1”, ⅛”. 1/60/ 1/500, 1/4000, 1/125, ½, 1/30,1/2000,1/250, (arrange these in order when you put them in your blog post) 1/40 f111 ISO 400

The third setting ISO controls the camera’s sensitivity to light. 

This setting goes from 100,200,400,800,1600 ,3200, on our cameras.

To center the meter on our cameras, we can either  change the  aperture, shutter speed,       or the ISO Settings

Finally My last photo for this assignment Alissa stood behind a dark wall and we used a tripod to have a steady support to get the image to look like he is a ghost.

This picture of Alissa was taken using 2 sec ISO 100 f132
