ARTISTIC

• Composition should be interesting • Head-on + Dead-center = Boring

• Light & Shadow

• Drone Can Add Dimension

• Imagination is Key

APERTURE – SHUTTER – ISO

ISO-SHUTTER-APERTURE RELATIONSHIP

SHUTTER SPEED

•Measured in fractions of a second

•Higher number is less time - 1/60th of a second vs 1/500th of a second

•High speed used to capture action

• Lower speed softens the image and adds blurring effect

F STOP • Depth of Field

ISO • Recording of incoming light

• The more accurate sample the better the picture quality
