Exposure and Aperature

Exposure is controlled by two different factors:

- Shutter speed
- Aperature

Shutter speed is usually expressed as a fraction of a second:

- 1/250th of a second is fast
-1/30th of a second is slow

Aperature is usually expressed by F-numbers:

-F/2.1 is large
F/22 is small
