Lenses and photography vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to take a photo that's far away but zoom into it.

I would use a prime lens to take a photo thats really up close.

I would use a wide-angle lens to take a photo of something that's big.

Depth of Field: the distance between the nearest and the farthest objects that appears sharp in a image.

By using this you can take better photos by getting different scenes in one photo.

Light: different shades of light that is shining on your subject

By using this you're going to have different shades of light on your subject that can really change the outcome of your photo.

Shadows: light can cause shadows, so when you are shooting be careful to not get a lot of the shadow in the far background.

By using this you can get different shadows in the background of your photo or none if your not going for any shadows.

Diffusion:


Exposure: the amount of light that is allowed to fall on each area of a photograph

By using this you can get just the right amount of light in the picture that you are taking.

Aperture: is a hole or opening that light travels through

By using this your photo will be focused just right and just the amount of light will be in your photo.

Shutter Speed: is the length of time the cameras shutter is open.

By using this short shutter speeds can be used to freeze fast moving pictures and long shutter speeds are used to blur a moving subject.

By using this you can have different outcomes in your photos.
