Exposure
 
Shutter Speed The amount of time for which the camera shutter remains open defines the shutter speed.
The shutter serves  two  purposes:  Controlling the duration of the exposure:  (Low Light or Bright Light) Controlling the subject movement: (Fast movement or slow movement)
Under - Exposure
 
Over - Exposure
High Shutter Speed :   Shutter open for a very short time. Less light comes in. Low Shutter Speed : Shutter remains open for a longer period.  More light comes in. Representation of Shutter Speed
Day time : high shutter speed to avoid over exposure. Capturing  fast moving  subjects: high shutter speed. Low light  conditions : slow shutter speed to allow more light.
 
 
Shutter Speed – 14 seconds
Shutter Speed – 30 seconds
Shutter Speed – 13 seconds
Using slow shutter speed to show motion
 
 
1/8 th  second
1/60 th  second
Use of tripod In low light conditions, longer shutter speed can result in blur.
 
APERTURE  An aperture of the camera is a hole or an opening through which light is admitted.
f- NUMBER The lens aperture is denoted by the  f-SCALE :  the ratio of focal length to effective aperture diameter Inversely Proportional

ISO / ASA The measure of a digital camera sensor’s sensitivity to light. ISO » sensitivity
