§Study sheet: Photographer's basic concepts

Use this sheet as a quick reference when you practise with the camera. It gathers the concepts you should know in your sleep as a qualified photographer.

The three dimensions of exposure.

• 01Aperture — amount of light and depth of field.
• 02Closing time — how long the light hits the sensor; controls movement.
• 03ISO – light sensitivity; high ISO risks noise.

Composition

• 01Think about where in the image the subject is placed.
• 02Keep the background clean and without distracting elements.
• 03Use lines in the subject to guide the eye towards what is important.

Work process

Prepare thoroughly record consciously treat systematically and deliver on time. Always keep a backup.

“The camera only sees the light you give it. Learn to see the light, and you will see the image before you press.”
