Aperture, Shutter Speed, ad ISO

1) What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

Aperture closely relates to the human eye, because there is a hole in the lens to simulate a pupil.

2) Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture setting, the higher the Aperture F-Stop.

3) In your own words, tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field.

Aperture effects how sharp the background of the subject appears in the image.

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?

High ISO is used when a photographer is taking photos in a dark setting.

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

The author suggested to use the low ISO to retain the most detail in high lighting areas.

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

The author suggested have a lower ISO when taking pictures. He personally thinks that there is too much grain when put at an extremely high ISO setting.
