Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO

Aperture

We should associate the pupils with the aperture setting. 

The smaller the aperture size, the higher the aperture setting. 

When the aperture size is small, then the foreground and background are more in focus, and when the aperture size is big, then the foreground is sharp while the background is blurry. 

Shutter Speed

When shooting while the sun was still up and gave good lighting. 

a) a high shutter speed 

b) a highish shutter speed 

c) a really high shutter speed

d) a higher shutter speed

e) a higher shutter speed

f) a really high shutter speed  

When the sun was down and you can't see across the courtyard.

a) a slow shutter speed 

b) a slower shutter speed

c) a really high shutter speed

d) a slowish shutter speed

e) a higher shutter speed

f) a slowish shutter speed

The camera has three settings regarding setting shutter speed, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual. In the Aperture Priority setting, the photographer sets the aperture setting while the camera controls the shutter speed. In the Shutter Priority setting, the photographer sets the shutter speed, while the camera controls the aperture setting. In the Manual setting, the photographer controls both the aperture setting, and the shutter speed. 

ISO

The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event is that the images won't be blurry due to fast motion, and that the camera doesn't need as much light to capture the image. 

The author suggested using a low ISO as much as possible when there is plenty of light, or if you want a "ghost" in the image.

The author suggested using a high ISO when there isn't enough light, or when capturing action shots, but to make sure that its alright to introduce noise. He also suggested used the Auto ISO setting in low light areas.
