The Manual Camera
In this project, I researched the settings of a manual camera and experimented with different shutter speeds by stopping motion and capturing its direction.
Fast Shutter Speed
A fast Shutter Speed is where a relatively short duration in which the camera shutter remains open to expose the camera sensor to light. This duration freezes motion, allowing for the capture of fast-moving subjects with clarity and sharpness.

SHUTTER SPEED
This relates to the duration for which the camera's shutter remains open, determining the amount of light that enters the camera and then impacts the exposure of the image. A long, slow shutter speed creates motion blur and shows the direction of motion, while a fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure, the amount of light the camera takes in, while a slow shutter speed gives the photograph a longer exposure. A short, fast shutter speed captures motion and forms a clear image, pausing an action. It also results in a darker image as less light reaches the sensor.
ISO
Represents the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light and directly impacts the exposure and quality of the image. A lower ISO reduces noise and makes the sensor less sensitive to light. A higher ISO increases noise and makes the sensor more sensitive to light. Manipulating ISO settings is crucial to adapt to various lightning conditions and achieve optimal exposure while minimising image noise.
APERTURE
Refers a section of the camera which is adjusted to allow more or less light to enter the camera. Not only controls the amount of light reaching the camera sensor but also influences depth of field, determining the extent to which elements in the foreground and background are in focus. A smaller aperture results in a darker image, while a larger aperture can flood the sensor with light.
