i know that the aperture value is the amount of light that can pass through the lens. the larger the value, the smaller the amount of light can pass through.. (am i on the right track????)
the iso value is the camera's sensitivity to light.
so what is the relationship between these 2? i quote from canon's website.. "Changing the aperture affects the depth of field, while changing the shutter speed affects the freezing or blurring of motion." and i don't understand what does that mean... is there any additional knowledge that i need?

Well. I take example of Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G 3.5 is the largest aperture at 18mm while the smallest aperture at 18mm was 22, thus aperture of 3.5 will allow more light to reach sensor under the same lighting conditions compared to aperture of 22. It will give faster shutter speed under same ISO setting to give the correct light exposure on the sensor.

The ISO is the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. Higher ISO setting eg ISO 800 will be more sensitive to the amount of light reaching sensor compared to ISO 100. Relating ISO to aperture, say when you want to take a night shot at ISO 100 under normal room lighting, maybe you need a lens with the 'bigger' aperture of 1.8 while with the ISO 800, you will be able to capture the similarly exposed photo use a lens using a 'smaller' aperture of 5.6 By the way, in photography terms 1.4 is a larger aperture that 2.8 and the 'bigger' the number, it means smaller aperture.

As for DOF, it's the portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image. The larger aperture will give a shorter DOF, thus of blurred background or item in front of focused subject. Smaller aperture will give a longer DOF.

Shutter speed: A fast shutter speed will be able to 'freeze' the fast moving object to make it appear sharp in the image but with a slower shutter speed, the same motion might be captured as blur 'moving' object in the image.

Hope the info helps and not confuse you more... smile.gif

Cheers,
William

hi guys,
i have a problem of understanding something over here.
i'm currently using nikon digital camera only, not SLR.
i have captured quite a few shots and it turned out dark with flash on.
i turned my ISO under auto, brightness under auto as well.

so how do you think i should change it so that i will have a better picture without it turning dark sometimes smile.gif

thanks

what's the difference b/w a macro lens and other lenses? I know macro lenses let you fill the frame without needing to get too close to the subject, but that can be done with a tele lens too, right? Like, I know wide is small 'mm' while tele is big 'mm', but where is macro? Google isn't helping...

it turns dark it is because your built-in flash in ur digi-cam doesn't gives enough light to reach ur object.
try to switch 'scenes' for different shoots.
example: go 'night mode' to shoot a fireworks scene.
the settings of ur cam doesn't fool u. =)

simple... learn how to use the scene selection on your pns(read the manual and learn how to use ur camera)...
then, juz start snapping. the more you take the better you become.
it will always help to view pictures taken by ur camera or other pns by other people to see what it is capable of.
sites such as flickr will definitely inspire you.

Could anyone enlighten me on how to make a far object appear near in a picture...?

For example a row of benches with some distance between them can look like they are just beside each other in a picture taken from slightly side ways.

In dark light, normally camera will select the shutter speed where enough life able to reach the sensor.
Even dslr having problem taking fast moving photos in dark light, basically u need to on the flash and keep aperture as big as possible.

If compact camera, I think that is the limitation.
That is also why people go for F200EXR and LX3 for compact camera, they are really good in lowlight.
