Photography Basics

I have been looking at SLR Camera's. SLR stands for Single Lense Reflex camera. This is one of the more traditional types of camera.
All camera's orininaly could only take film and you had to wait to see the image you have captured. Nowdays technology has advanced so much it uses the more up-to-date digital Micro-Chip system so you can take your picture and then view it straight away instead of waiting to see.

There are many ways of restricting light getting into the camera. The Apeture is one way of restricting light and there is also the Shutter, it is important to check the speed of the shutter as this determin's how much light is let in, the slower the shutter speed the more light is let in, so the faster the shutter less light is let in.
The F stop usually ranges from f/2.4 -----> f/22 but it can be different with every camera.

DOF stands for Depth Of Feild. This is very important when taking pictures because if you have a low F number the smaller the depth of field, the larger the hole. This means that more light will be let in and you will have a "bleached" image. Just like this one.
