Photography 101 - Basics About Aperture and Shutter Speed
If you want to just point and shoot, then using pre-set modes (like "sports" or "macro" on your camera make it easy to get a perfect shot. If you're new to photography, two of the most important things to learn are aperture and shutter speed settings as these will give you a lot of creative control. If you're not sure which cameras have these types of settings, some compact digital cameras have them but most bridge cameras and all DSLRs have them.
At first it may seem it a little confusing using manual camera settings, but the improvement in the quality of your pictures wil be well worth it. And with all of your great new images, you'll have lots of fun selecting different styles of wood photo frames and metal picture frames that make each picture stand out.
Photography 101 – Introducing Aperture
The aperture works much like an iris in a person's eye. Just like your irises widen or narrow to let in more or less light through the pupils, the camera's lens diaphragm widens or narrows to let in more or less light through the lens. The aperture is the size of this lens opening.
Aperture lets the photographer (or the camera's exposure computer if it's set to automatic) increase or reduce the amount of light that gets through to the sensor, thus helping determine how bright or dark the picture will be.
The aperture also controls the depth of field of the image.
To get a good idea of what this means, make a fist, holding it in front of your eye. Then gradually open your fist. Notice when the opening in your hand is small everything you see is in focus? But when your fist is open wide, the object closest to you is sharper than the background?
A small aperture is good for taking pictures where you want it all in focus, like a landscape.
An Aperture Priority setting on your camera allows you to set the aperture within the camera's range of f-stop numbers (or called f-stop for short). These numbers represent ratios, and the larger the f-stop number, the narrower the aperture. So the larger the f-stop number on your camera, the larger the depth of field.
The reason for the "Priority" in the setting's name is that when you set the aperture, the camera does its best to set the shutter speed so that the exposure is right (not too dark or too bright). In other words, in the wider scheme of exposure, the aperture setting will have priority, while shutter speed plays a supporting role.
Photography 101 – Introducing Shutter Speed
While the camera aperture controls the amount of light that hits the image sensor, the shutter speed controls the length of time the camera allows in the light.
If you've ever seen really old pictures, you'll notice that they are rarely smiling. Shutter speeds used to be so slow that people would have to remain very still for several minutes in the early days of photography. No wonder they had such a serious look!
The shutter speeds most commonly used today are 1/500th of a second to 1/60th of a second. By using Shutter Priority, you can then choose the shutter speed (within your camera's range) for the exact effect you want.
For shutter speeds slower than 1/60 you will probably need a tripod or other camera support because when the shutter is open that long the camera records the tiniest jiggle, causing the photo to be out of focus or outright blurry.
If you want to freeze action (like what Sports mode does), set the camera's Shutter Priority to a fast speed. Only with this manual setting, you can be more selective. For example, a soccer game may require up to 1/500 to freeze the action, while if photographing a pet sitting quietly, a shutter speed of around 1/125 will freeze the small actions, like a slight twitch of the tail.
Using manual settings like Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority give you more creative control, which means better pictures that you can display in nice picture frames.
Car failed inspection?
My 1999 Ford Mustang failed inspection for a right front stabilizer? Can someone tell me what this is and how much it'll be for a new one? any help would be appreciated
stabilizer is a steering component... the part itself is probably cheap, but the shop time will be expensive, i think most places charge 65-85 per hour nowadays.... if you're going to maintain a 13 year old mustang, i recommend buying some tools and learning how to fix stuff yourself.
simple answer, it may cost you anywhere between 150-500 to fix it at a shop..... but.. it's something you could easily get a part from the junk yard for $10 or less and fix in your driveway in an hour or two without having to have any expensive tools, lifts, etc..
