Inspired by the Digital Photography School’s “21 Settings, Techniques and Rules All New Camera Owners Should Know”, I thought it’d be nice to share some of their digital camera functionality tips, along with some of my own, on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Tip #1 – Aperture/Shutter:
Simply put, adjusting the aperture will adjust the focal sharpness of your photo. So, a narrow arperture with a slow shutter speed will increase the sharpness while a wide aperture and fast shutter speed will decrease sharpness – a beautiful technique for singling out a specific object in your photo.
The shutter speed itself can have a dramatic impact the way a moving object is captured – by slowing down the shutter speed; the motion will be more fully captured.
