understand for photographing moving objects
Exposure How light or dark an image is and is controlled through aperture, shutter speed
and ISO
Histogram Is a chart that depicts how many light and dark pixels are in an image. If the
chart peaks towards the left, the image has a lot of dark hues. If the chart peaks to the right, the
image has a lot of light hues. If those peaks are cut off at the edges, the image is underexposed
(on the left edge) or overexposed (on the right edge)
Long Exposure Is an image that has been exposed for a long time, or uses a long shutter
speed. This technique is useful for shooting still objects in low light, or rendering moving objects
into an artistic blur
Hot Shoe Is the slot at the top of a camera for adding accessories, like a speed light or
flash

Questions And Answers
Manual Mode You choose the aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and those choices affect
how light or dark the image is
Noise Is simply little flecks in an image, also sometimes called grain. Images taken at
high ISOs have a lot of noise, so it's best to use the lowest ISO you can for the amount of light in
the scene
Rule of Thirds This compositional rule suggests imagining the image has been divided
into three parts both horizontally and vertically. Often the most interesting compositions result in
placing the subject on one of the intersections of those imaginary lines, instead of in the center of
the photo.
Shutter Release That's the button you press to take the picture
Viewfinder That's the hole you look through to take the picture. Some digital cameras
don't have one and just use the screen, but all DSLRs and most mirrorless cameras use them
