Triangle of Exposure
1. Aperture: the opening through which light passes through a photographic instrument, which can be adjusted to variably open the amount of light that enters a camera.
2. Shutter Speed: the time of exposure, or the effective length of a camera's shutter is open.
2. Shutter Speed: the time of exposure, or the effective length of a camera's shutter is open.
3. ISO: is the standard measure of light sensitivity for the imaging medium. In other words, the film speed.
4. Depth of Field: The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that an image can have focus in.
5. Motion Blur: the streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image.
6. Noise and light sensitivity: the variation of brightness or color information in images, as a by-produce of image capture that adds spurious and extraneous information.

Print vs. Digital
5 Positives of Digital Photography
5 Negatives of Digital Photography
5 Positives of Print Photography
5 Negatives of Print Photography
- Instant feedback regarding photo taken
- Convenience with a large volume of photos taken
- Portability, designed to be relatively portable with the whole apparatus
- Easy sharing photos via electronics
- No prints, no excess copies and photographic messes around
5 Negatives of Digital Photography
- Complexity of programs and different versions
- Necessity of a Computer at hand
- High costs (computer, camera, transfer docks, etc)
- Battery life is limiting
- Electronic failures, such as hacking or virus can destroy and tamper with photos
5 Positives of Print Photography
- Resolution. Good film easily beats the resolution of digital
- Work in many places, such as very humid or very hot places that would disturb
- Cheap start in comparison to digital photography
- Great dynamic range
- Good archival properties
5 Negatives of Print Photography
- Low light performanace
- Difficulty and inconvenience of using and obtaining film stock in comparison
- Limit in post processing
- Delay of waiting for print
- Storage takes up space
