Understanding Your Camera
TV = Shutter Speed
AV = Aperture
P = automatic Mode
Manual = you set both shutter speed & aperture
Camera shake is when your camera is moving while the shutter is open and results in blur in your photos.

SHUTTER SPEED
Shutter speed is the length of time a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the image sensor is proportional to the exposure time.
Fast Shutter Speed
A fast shutter speed have the opposite effect they freeze movement
Slow Shutter Speed
We use this for two reasons first, because it's quite dark and we need to let more light into the camera or second, because we want to introduce some blur into our photo.

APERTURE
Aperture refers to an adjustable opening in your camera lens that is able to limit the amount of light passing through the lens and hitting the camera sensor. Just think of it like your eyes. When you open your eyes, light enters through your cornea, and is bent through the pupil, which is a round opening in the center of the iris. The iris and pupil works exactly like the aperture of a camera, controlling the amount of light being emitted.
To control your camera’s aperture, switch your camera mode to aperture priority. In this mode, you are able to manually control your camera’s aperture. The camera will change the shutter speed automatically to match the aperture that you had selected to create a picture that is properly exposed when the shutter release button is clicked.
DEPTH OF FIELD
Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance at a time, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the depth of field, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.
VIEWPOINTS
Viewpoints is a technique of composition that provides a vocabulary for thinking about and acting upon movement and gesture. Selecting your viewpoint, the position from which you photograph the subject, is a very important part of composition and one that some people pay very little attention to. When taking a photo of a group of friends, you often move around the group to look for the best angle.
RULES OF THIRDS
The Rule of Thirds is perhaps the most well known principle of photographic composition, its one of the first things that budding digital photographers learn about in classes on photography and rightly so as it is the basis for well balanced and interesting shots.
Photos should be divided into thirds, with two imaginary lines both horizontally and vertically placed over your scene. The result is three columns and three rows on the image.
