f-stop and shutter assignment

f 22 at 1/50

Remember, exposure can be the same as long as the f-stop/shutter speed combination is comparable. If you move from f 5.6 at 1/125 to f 8, you'd use 1/60 to slow the shutter speed down by a full stop to let in enough light, since you made the aperture smaller.

f-stop controls depth of field and shutter speed controls motion blur

For action, shutter speed should be at a minimum of 250th of a second, most likely faster, depending on the speed of the subject.
f 8 at 1/400

  1. Great explanation here. You can be my teaching assistant on this. Anyone not sure about you know enough should ask Jennifer.
