The longer it is open , the more light it lets in. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1/2000s Super-fast subject , like a bird in flight |  |\n| 1/1000s Fast subject , like a sports car moving |  |\n| 1/500s | Fast subject , like a normal car moving |\n| 1/250s | People moving , dancing , jumping |\n| 1/125s | People walking |\n| 1/60s | Slow-moving or stationary subject indoors |\n| 1/20s | Moving water |\n| 1/10s | Low-light , low-motion landscape , like a sunset |\n| 1-3s | Deliberate blur, like you might use for falling water or a crowd moving |\n| 21-30s | Dark skies , Milky Way |\n| 10\u003Cbr>minutes | Star trails |\n\nAnything from 1/60s down , you should consider using a tripod.  \nAperture (F-stop numbers)  \n\n| Aperture controls how open your lens is to receive light , and is measured with an F-stop number. The smaller the aperture , the larger the F-stop number and the less light is allowed into the lens. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| F/1 .4 , F/2 , F/2 .8 | Low-light photos , very shallow depth of field , portraits with bokeh blur, astrophotography |\n| F/4 , F/5 .6 , F/8 | Good general use , greater depth of field , more objects in focus at different distances |\n| F/11 , F/16 , F/22 | Landscapes , very well-lit photos , very deep depth of field |\n\nEach lens has its own \"sweet spot\" , and this is typically two to three F-stop values from the maximum aperture of that lens.  \nThe Exposure Triangle  \nThe exposure triangle is three settings: ISO , shutter speed , and aperture. Here are some examples of how to use it.  \nSunny Day, Outdoors F/2 .8 , 1/1000 , ISO 400  \nWide aperture for lots of light , fast shutter to reduce blur, low ISO to reduce noise. A bright , cheerful image with plenty of detail.  \nLow-Light Night F/4 , 1/20 , ISO 1600  \nModerate aperture to balance light and depth , slight blur, high ISO for low light. A cozy , warm image with a dreamy atmosphere.  \nCreative Portraiture F/1 .8 , 1/125 , ISO 200  \nBackground blur highlighting subject , reduced subject blur, moderate ISO. A beautiful , shallow-focused portrait with a creamy bokeh.  \nExposure Issues  \n| Overexposure | An image might be faded , be too bright , and have low detail in bright areas. Decrease aperture , faster shutter speed , or decrease ISO. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Underexposure | An image is dark , and hard to see properly. Increase aperture , slower shutter speed , or increase ISO. |\n| Blown\u003Cbr>Highlights | Bright areas of the image appear pure white (lost all detail) . Use exposure compensation (-1/3 or- 2/3 stop) , decrease ISO , or faster shutter speed. |\n| Clipped Shadows | Dark areas of the image appear pure black (lost all detail) . Increase aperture , slower shutter speed , or increase ISO. |\n| Noise | Image appears grainy. Decrease ISO , increase aperture , or slower shutter speed. |\n| Motion Blur | Image appears blurry (e.g. , with fast-moving subject) . Faster shutter speed , decrease aperture , or increase ISO. |\n\nFocal Length  \nThe focal length of a lens is the distance , in millimeters , between the\"nodal point\" of the lens and the camera's sensor.  \nA higher focal length lens has a smaller field of view , like it's zoomed in further. Good for photographing something small or far away.  \nA lower focal length lens is good for wider photos , like landscapes.  \nBy Dave Child (DaveChild) [cheatography.com/davechild/](cheatography.com/davechild/)[ ](cheatography.com/davechild/)[aloneonahill.com](aloneonahill.com)  \nPublished 11th October, 2024.
