3. Photography Getting to know your camera.

4. Shutter Speed Shutter speed
It’s a measurement of time that a camera’s shutter is open. Allowing light usually after it has passed through the lens and through the aperture diaphragm, to strike a photosensitive surface, like film or a digital sensor.

5. F-stop Steel wool Photography tutorial
F-Stop is a Camera setting corresponding to a particular F-#
It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed, and an important concept on photography.

6. SLR
A digital camera combining the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.

7. Exposure
Exposure is the amount of light per unit area (the image plane illuminance times the exposure time) reaching a photographic film or electronic image sensor, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture and scene luminance

8. Aperture
A space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument,
especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera

9. ISO
ISO is a setting that lets you configure how sensitive you camera is to light
High = More Sensitive
Low = Less Sensitive

10. Depth of Field
Depth of field (DOF), Also called focus range or effective focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

11. Wide Angle
A wide lens refers to a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than a focal of a normal lens for a given film plane.

12. Telephoto
Attachment to camera lens that increases the physical length of the lens over the actual focal length.
Allows the user to zoom in from afar for shots that capture action while being presently away from it.

13. Filters
A filter is a camera accessory consisting of an optical filter that can be inserted into the optical path

14. Perspective
The was our eye relates to spacial separation and the relationship between the size of objects within the spacial separation. What this means in layman’s terms is things seem smaller the further away you are.

15. Saturation
It's the intensity in color. Also how much color the picture has. This is important.

16. Vignette
A border surrounding the picture’s edges to give it a specific affect (focused, old-timey, colored, etc etc)

17. Tripod
A three legged stand that is used to hold a camera in place

18. External Lighting
Any light source not given from the camera (flash)
