What is the central simile that Annie Tao uses to explain the relationship between the camera, the lens and the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO)?
The camera body is our brain and the lens is our eyes. Aperture is how wide we open our eyes, shutter speed is how long you open your eyes, and ISO is like glasses that help you see in the dark (Moonglasses).
If you are shooting in low light, how wide do you open your eyes? Will you see well at night if you are squinting (small aperture)?
You would open your eyes as wide as you could. You wouldn't be able to see well at night if you were squinting.
What happens on a super bright day if your eyes are wide open and they’re open for a long time (slow shutter and large aperture)? Can you see well then?
A little bit- it would be overexposed but crisp.
If you want a crisp shot of someone jumping, how long do you need your eyes open? What will freeze the shot: a quick blink (fast shutter) or a slow one (slow shutter)?
You would want a fast shutter/quick blink.
Do I need thick, thin or medium moonglasses if I’m shooting at the beach on my lunch break?
You would need thin moonglasses.
You would want to increase the shutter speed so the picture wouldn't be blurry.
If you increase your shutter speed because you want to freeze the image, what else would you need to change? (If you changed nothing else, the image would be too dark because you let in less light.)
You would increase the ISO and the aperture.
Well done. You got this. 100.
