The document defines and explains three key photographic concepts: shutter, aperture, and depth of field. The shutter is the device that opens and closes to expose film or sensor, and controls effects like freezing or blurring motion. Aperture is the circular opening that controls the amount of light entering through adjustments to f-stops. Depth of field refers to the zone of acceptable sharpness, and can be shallow or deep depending on factors like aperture and focal length.

What is Shutter? Fast
By Jordan Maruska
shutter
speed

A shutter is a device that opens and


closes to expose the film in a camera

Is one of the three pillars of photography

It is responsible for making dramatic


effects by either freezing action or blurring
motion

Shutter speed fast= freeze action


completely Slow shutter speed
What is aperture?
By Ayva Torppey

Aperture is the circular opening in the


camera that can change the amount of light
reaching the cameras sensor or film

It is calibrated in f/stops and is written as


numbers like 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, and
16.

Lower f/stops give more exposure, and


higher f/stops give less exposure. In other
words, you can focus on the thing you want
What is Depth of Field
By Sam Garcia

Depth of Field is the zone of acceptable


sharpness within a photo that will appear in focus

There is a Shallow Depth of Field and a Deep


Depth of Field

A shallow Depth of field is when there is very


small zones of focus

A deep Depth of Field has a very large zone of


focus

Three main factors that control your depth of field:


Shallow Depth of Field

Showing depth of
field from shallow
to deep.
