The Higher the Aperture
Less light small Iris.
Smaller the number the
more light big Iris.
Shutter – Shutter Speed
The light measurement (shutter speed) that control
how much light comes into the lens just like
the aperture.
Exposure
Iris + Aperture + Shutter + Shutter Speed = (Photo Exposure)
Exposure determines how light or dark an image is.
Under Exposure
three main colors of light
