17 Shutter Speed length of time the camera shutter is open fast shutter speeds freeze motion ability to hand hold camera slow shutter speeds can be used to create dramatic effects i.e. blurring a waterfall

18 Shutter speed Ruby-throated Hummingbird wing beats = 40 to 80/second

20 Panning

21 Aperture diameter of the lens opening determines how much light is reaches your camera sensor

22 Aperture settings Large lens opening i.e. f/2.8 Shallow depth of field Less in focus More light Allows for faster shutter speed Small lens opening i.e. f/16 Greater depth of field More in focus Less light Requires slower shutter speed

23 Depth of Field Aperture setting or f/stop Focal length Proximity to your subject - macro work

30 Exposure total amount of light that reaches the camera sensor balance between aperture (f/stop) and shutter speed ISO sensitivity of camera sensor to light the camera light meter measures the amount of reflected light from the subject to determine the proper exposure camera metering based on the average of the reflected light camera can be fooled know your camera

31 Bracketing Computer Digital image of Silver Fox Showy Milkweed

33 HDR - High Dynamic Range A common goal of HDR is to increase the amount of areas that are visible in a photograph, bypassing the limitations of highlights and shadows. Bracketing - taking the same photo more than once using different settings for different exposures. Capture entire dynamic range of the scene Typically 5-7 exposures Usually 1 stop apart i.e. -2EV to +2EV = 5 stops Post processing software - Photomatix Pro
