Aperture value
The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera, The aperture
housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close, widening
or narrowing the aperture, and controlling the amount ot light that
enters the camera, The size of the aperture is closely related to
the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the
photol the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo. Note that
the larger the aperture value, the smaller the aperture size. For
example, an aperture set to 5,6 is larger than an aperture set to 11,
Shutter speed
Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness ot a
photo, refers to the amount of time it takes to open and dose the
shulter. A slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in, All
things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast moving objects
tend to blur, On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less
time to let light in, Photos are darker, but objects in r-notion are
captured more clearly,
