Manual Camera Settings

Today we went into the theatre to experiment with the manual settings on our cameras. With the lighting we found how to get the correct exposure so our photographs weren't too dark or too light.
We got, 1/60 for the shutter speed, f5.6 for the aperture and 400 for the ISO, this gave us a good looking picture.

We then went on changing the shutter speed to get a under exposed, over exposed photographs and a photographs with the correct exposure.


I took the photograph on the right with a shutter speed of 1/100 and and an aperture of f5.6 this meant my picture was too bright, over exposed. 


I took the photograph on the left with a shutter speed of 1/10 this meant my picture ended up under exposed.

Changing the shutter speed controls the amount of light that is let into the photograph, having a quick shutter speed means that not a lot of light is let in make the picture under exposed. I would be able to fix this but changing the aperture on my camera to smaller f-stop. This will mean I could take a picture at a quick speed and it won't be under exposed.
