Understanding ISO, shutter speed, and aperture—often called the Exposure Triangle—can be a bit tricky for beginners. But don't worry! Here are some easy tips to explain how these parts work together to control light in your photos:

1. ISO: Think of ISO as how sensitive your camera is to light.

   • A low ISO (like 100-400) is best for bright places.
   • But if the light is low, you may end up with dark pictures.
   • A higher ISO (800 and above) works well in dim light, but it can make your photos look grainy or noisy.

2. Shutter Speed: This is about how long your camera lets light hit its sensor.

   • Fast shutter speeds (like 1/1000 second) can freeze action, which is great for photos of sports.
   • Slower shutter speeds (like 1/30 second) can create a blur, which can look really cool in artistic pictures.

3. Aperture: This is shown as f-stops (like f/2.8 or f/16).

   • A wider aperture (which means a smaller f-number) lets in more light and makes the background blurry (called bokeh).
   • A narrower aperture (which means a larger f-number) keeps more of the picture in focus.

By learning these ideas and practicing, you’ll see how changing one part affects the others. This will help you take better photos!
