    Nice, quick recap on the three components that are needed to make an
    exposure.

    Here’s a simple little video for Ted about how aperture, shutter speed and
    ISO can affect a picture.

    This is a fantastic breakdown of the foundation behind the mechanics of
    taking a picture.

    Aperature, ISO and shutter speeds are covered in this video.

    Simple and easy to understand guide for all the DSLR owners who largely use
    auto mode! #DSLR #Photography

    Understand how cameras interact with lights to learn how to take the
    perfect picture. The video covers settings like aperture, shutter speed,
    exposure, and ISO sensitivity.

    this is good, though not really meant for someone experienced with an slr.

    The cause is obvious – the feeling we get from taking a great photograph,
    and from others appreciating it is quite special, a mix of accomplishment,
    a feeling of creativity, and happiness in a gorgeous photograph which we
    think we took. That the camera, and the 3 or 4 incredibly simple settings
    actually took. That cost very little. That had nothing to do with how much
    we spent on our gear. Suck it up. Go to a life drawing class, take 100+
    hours to get the hand control and vision to draw “ok”.

    cant agree more, i was shocked to find an uncle of mine with a DSLR and
    telling me he NEVER left auto mode, and he had an impressive telephoto lens
    attached to it too, much more expensive than any of mine and i’m university
    educated in photography! Just goes to show its who is behind the gear and
    not the gear itself everyone!

    I thuoght it was more about odd numbers. Can’t you use five or seven as
    well?

    This covered the basics, not even that deep. This is not the key to a great
    picture, but prevents you to do a terrible one maybe. 🙂 Title is
    misleading.

    A ‘noisy’ picture is a photograph with (usually) unwanted effects,
    generally blotchy patches of colour, and ‘grain’. It can also result in the
    loss of details in an image; for example a ‘noisy’ image may lose the
    detail in a shoe-lace, while an ‘un-noisy’ image could pick out the
    stitching in the same shoe-lace easily.
