What Makes a Great Photograph?

Measure your exposure correctly
1. Aperture - Depth of Field
  1. Helps control the amount of Flash Light reaching the sensor
  2. Affects Depth of Field
    1. Small f/stop = Large aperture
      1. Large Aperture = Shallow Depth of Field
        Large Aperture = Lots of Light = Faster shutter speed
    2. Large f/stop = Small aperture
      1. Small aperture = Large Depth of Field
        Good for landscapes and panoramics
        Small aperture lets very little light into sensor and therefore requires a longer shutter speed
        Good for waterfalls
2. Shutter Speed - Movement
  1. Helps control amount of natural/ambient light reaching sensor.
  2. Fast Shutter Speed Freezes Movement
    1. Slow Shutter Speed Blurs Movement
      1. Rivers & Oceans
    2. Sports & Moving subjects
3. ISO Speed
  1. Determines light sensitivity of the camera's sensor
Lens Choice
1. Sharp Focusing
2. Depth of Field
3. Use of filters to alter the image's appearance in-camera without the need of software.
