Simple explanations with examples of basic photography knowledge

edited July 2014 Posted in » General Discussion
Just wanted to help out fellow beginner photographers so I created a couple of posts on my Tumblr that explains in very simple terms the 3 things that contribute to your exposure: Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Check out these (hopefully) simple explanations on:

I also have a few posts specifically on depth of field that may be of interest. Depth of field depends on 3 factors: aperture, distance to subject, and focal length.
