Its represented as a
triangle because if you
change 1 setting, the
others will need to be
compensated

Thats a lot of numbers!

APERTURE

APERTURE
Amount of light let into

the camera
Do you want a single

object in focus or an
entire scene?

Do you want a single

Think of a window. The

larger the window, the
more light gets through
and the room is brighter.

ISO

ISO
Sensitivity to light
The higher the ISO number

the quicker the sensor

reacts to light.
How much light is available?

Is it night or are you inside?

Each has to be compensated.

Depends on:
Lighting, Lens, Subject, Artistic Choice

ELEMENTS
OF E X P O S U R E

Shutter Speed
Controls the duration of how much

light is allowed to reach the sensor

Aperture
Controls the amount of light going

into the camera

ISO
Controls the sensitivity of your

cameras sensor to light

By changing 1 setting, the

others will be affected

S U N TA N N I N G
Time laying out = Shutter Speed
Longer = Tan
Too long = Over Exposed
Sunscreen = Aperture
Blocks the sun at different rates

(depending on SPF)

Your skin type = ISO

some people are more sensitive

than others
