Introduction to Shutter Speed in Photography

One of the three most important settings in photography is Shutter Speed, the other two being Aperture and ISO. Shutter speed is responsible for two particular things: changing the brightness of your photo and creating dramatic effects by either freezing action or blurring motion.

    Shutter speed exists because of the camera shutter – which is a curtain in front of the camera sensor that stays closed until the camera fires. When the camera fires, the shutter opens and fully exposes the camera sensor to the light that has passed through your lens. After the sensor is done collecting the light, the shutter closes immediately, stopping the light from hitting the sensor. The button that fires the camera is also called “shutter” or “shutter button,” because it triggers the shutter to open and close.

What is ISO and How it Works ???(Photography Pro)

What is ISO? In very basic terms, ISO is simply a camera setting that will brighten or darken a photo. As you increase your ISO number, your photos will grow progressively brighter. For that reason, ISO can help you capture images in darker environments, or be more flexible about your aperture and shutter speed settings. However, raising your ISO has consequences. A photo taken at too high of an ISO will show a lot of grain, also known as  noise , and might not be usable. So, brightening a photo via ISO is always a trade-off. You should only raise your ISO when you are unable to brighten the photo via shutter speed or aperture instead (for example, if using a longer shutter speed would cause your subject to be blurry). Note how much brighter the image gets when ISO is increased from 100 to 1600 What is the Meaning of ISO? The acronym ISO stands for “International Organization for Standardization”. However, camera ISO does not directly refer to the  organization  that creates various te

Difference in DSLR and Mirrorless camera(PhotographyPro)

Difference in DSLR and Mirrorless camera Dslr      A   digital single-lens reflex camera   ( digital SLR   or   DSLR ) is a   digital camera   that combines the optics and the mechanisms of a   single-lens reflex camera   with a   digital imaging sensor .  The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras. In the reflex design, light travels through the lens and then to a mirror that alternates to send the image to either a prism, which shows the image in the   viewfinder , or the image sensor when the shutter release button is pressed. Mirrorless camera A  mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera  ( MILC ) or simply  mirrorless camera , also called  digital single lens mirrorless  ( DSLM ), is a  photo camera  featuring a single, removable  lens  and a  digital display . The camera does not have a  reflex mirror  or  optical viewfinder  like a  digital single-lens reflex  (DSLR) camera. [1]  Many mirrorless cameras retain a mechanical shutter. L
