   To a certain extent you are correct both shutter and aperture work together
   but only if you are talking about in the context of natural light. When you
   add flash which is much faster than most shutter speeds then shutter has no
   effect on exposure at that point. But aperture still does. And let’s not
   forget about ISO either because all three interrelate to make the exposure.
   I was trying to take each step at a time and building up to all three
   components. Thanks for your comment!

   Opening or closing the aperture doesn’t necessarily create a brighter or
   darker image, because usually the shutter speed works in harmony with the
   aperture to achieve the correct exposure. So the wider the aperture the
   quicker the shutter speed, the smaller the aperture the longer the shutter
   needs to remain open. I would suggest that this tip is misleading at best.
