A busy day at the bar or my day off. What do these have in common? Not taking pictures.
Now that the road has been paved, i need to fill in those steps with photos. So now i'm finding myself taking pictures of things and people instead of just drinks.
Taking a stroll by my neighborhood park. Across town or another city. Just taking pictures, filling in those steps one *click* and a time.
On that journey i learned about the "Exposure Triangle". A tool to help make your photos look better. A triangle has three sides so naturally, there are three aspects to exposure you should be aware of: Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.
T he first side of that triangle is: Aperture or aperture ring, it's the camera's mechanism for letting in more or less light. There are numbers attached to this mechanism. The lower the number the more open the ring and the more light is let into the camera. Depth of field is also control by this mechanism (depth of field means what is in focus and what is blurred). The lower the number the more the parts of the image not in focus will be blurred.
The Second side of that triangle is Shutter Speed, The shutter of the camera opens and closes at a set speed to allow light to hit the sensor of the camera. That light captured in that amount of time will be your image. The faster the shutter speed the less light the camera can take in. In some cameras shutter speed can go as fast as thousands of a second. 
The last side of that triangle is ISO. It is a sensitivity measurement on your camera. The lower the ISO the darker your image but also the sharper it can look when zoomed in. The higher the ISO the brighter your image but also, the more grainy when zoomed in.
