Understanding Aperture

June 21, 2011

photography

Posted 09/12

Since receiving my new camera, I have had to dig out my old notes from college and refresh my memory on things like lighting, ISO speed, and aperture. I found this on pinterest via thedailydigi, and thought I would pass along. A visual lesson which is sometimes the easiest way to learn! Don’t see the difference? Look at the opening in the lens! (The larger the whole, the more light that enters the lens:)
Hope you all are having a great week so far!
The 1000 celebration will continue next week…..HINT: look out for some bloggers sporting some IHOD accessories;)

    I love this! I really need to learn how to use my DSLR better.

  2. Great post! I want a new camera, but haven’t stopped to do any research or find what I want. Maybe I will find time for it to be an end-of-summer present to myself. 😉

    I love this! I have a camera that I don’t know quite how to work – this visual is a great reminder!

  4. Katherine says:

    This is so super helpful as I am a camera noob….these images are genius!

  5. This reminds me of my dismal photography skills )c: I think I need to get my booty *back* to college to take some much needed courses! (c:

  6. Thank you! I definitely appreciate the visual lesson. 🙂

  9. Kate Lewis says:

    i just got a new camera and i’m still learning how to use it. thanks for the lesson!

  10. Alisha says:

    Love this!! This is a great way for husband to learn about photography. He’s totally a visual leaner too 🙂

  11. This is great information! I’ve been a fan/follower early on because you always share such great tips, from useful blogging-related sites to good DIYs. I enjoy it all! 🙂

  12. I took photog classes in college and retained nothing! Except the rule of thirds. That’s it. I am trying to tackle aperture and shutter speed but it’s hard to find time these days. : )

  13. yayy photography! so awesome you got a camera, it’s soo fun!!

  14. Great tip to know! If only I had such a high tech camera! I took a class in college too that briefly went over camera functions, lighting and aperture..when I can make the purchase I’ll definitely check this out!!

    ps..Getting pics ready for you! 😉

    I love visual learning. This is great!

  19. Liz Stanley says:

    i have this book called ‘understanding exposure’ that’s awesome. highly recommend it

  20. is this the G12?? we just bought it for the america trip and it arrived the other day! 😀

  21. this is perfect. I recently started using a DSLR and right now I’m just using it on it’s automatic setting. My goal within the next year is to learn it on manual though and little lessons like this are extremely helpful!

  22. oh that’s an awesome lesson Anna, my eyes were doing the same thing as the lens while i scrolled down. it’s those “oh ya, i getcha” moments – nice one!

    Sean is trying to teach me camera settings, he’s such a master of it thankfully but any added instruction is a blessing. gonna check this out. cheers! ♥
