1. Photography has 3 basic elements i.e. Shutter Speed, Aperture & ISO. It ‘s represented as a triangle because if you change any of setting, the others will need to be compensated
2. Shutter speed is the length of time the shutter is open, the difference could be tenths of a second
3. Aperture is the amount of light let into camera. Think of window, the more light gets through and the room is brighter
4. ISO is the sensitivity to the light. The higher the ISO number the quicker the sensor reacts to light. In old days, this was the film speed
5. Each one has to be compensated, it depends on lighting, lens, subject, artistic choice
6. Understand CELL… C – Compositions, E- Exposure L – Lens L- Light
7. Focus on Composition, remove the clutter, Get Closure & Crop as tightly as possible
8. Put Subject off – center/rule of thirds
9. Create impact by using frames & real or inferred lines
10. 7 Rules to follow for experimentation: Leading Lines, Rule of Thirds, Filling the frame, Framing the subject, Unusual Angle/View points, Depth of Field, Symmetry & Texture
11. Create Contrast – Hard v/s Soft light
12. Too much light creates an over bright image with white spots: part of the image are over – exposed
13. Too little light creates an under bright image with black spots: part of the image are under – exposed
