Private Photography lessons in Auckland

What are basic skills in photography?

Photography is all about capturing light. When it comes to using a camera, there are three elements to balance in it: there is the aperture, the ISO and the shutter speed.

Let us talk first about the aperture: each lens has a focal length and an aperture. The aperture really means opening the lens so more light can come in. This can be done manually or automatically depending on your camera and your lens.

The ISO is the compensation that your camera can give you if the surroundings are too dark. If the shot you are trying to take is at night, no matter how much light you let in through the lens by changing the aperture, the camera will capture just black. This is then a digital version of light supplied by the camera’s ISO.

The ISO can make the images look grainy though, sometimes this is done for style, but most of the time is just a consequence of using a high ISO.

The shutter speed is another element that also deals with light. You have heard the sound cameras make, the click when you take a picture. Well, that’s the shutter opening and closing. You see the camera inside has a sensor, so when you take a picture, you open the door so the sensor can finally capture the light you are seeing through the viewfinder.

The shutter speed can vary, it can be very fast as it can also be very slow. Depending on the shutter speed you have assigned, a river can look frozen in time or like a series of waves indistinguishable from each other.

These are the basic elements of photography, since the most basic skill you should have is knowing how to use your camera.
