I got my first DSLR camera. But I wanted to learn how to use it. So I took an online photography class this weekend. I didn't want to spend all that money on a fancy camera and only use in 'Auto' mode. That would feel like buying a super expensive point and shoot. In just 2 hours, I learned so much! We talked about 3 topics - ISO, aperture and shutter speed. I won't bore you with the details but just wanted to show our experimentation during class.
ISO - light sensitivity
Even though the picture itself never looks good, can you see how you can finally see my dad?
Aperture - how much light you let in/what you focus on
Shutter speed - how long your shutter is open
How crazy is this comparison between over/under exposure and when you get it right?
I had fun playing at home too. {grin}
