Reflection

Photography literally means “light drawing”. It is where you create a picture by recording radiation on a sensitive material. The basic camera shots are extremely wide shot and very wide shot which are far away. Wide shot is closer up and you can see the whole subject.  Mid shot and medium close up and you can’t see the bottom of the subject. A close up takes up the whole frame and extreme close up gets really close and shows a lot of detail. Rule of thirds is where there are nine squares and the focal point is one of the lines the square makes up. Shutter speed is how long the shutter stays open and can create a motion blur effect (which lets you do light graffiti) or a freeze frame effect so you can freeze something in mid-air. To get a freeze frame you should set the shutter speed to 1/100 of a second or lower. If you want motion blur it should be higher, like 1/20 of a second or higher. ISO stands for international standard organization is how sensitive the camera is to light. ISO can give your photo a grainy effect or let you take better photographs at night.
