The aperture on a camera lens is very similar to a human eye. In the light, the pupil would go very small because it's re-adjusting to the light. In the dark, the pupil would appear larger to consume more of the light. Which is very similar to the lens of a camera. In the bright light you need to turn the aperture on the camera lens down(smaller hole) which allows less light to enter. If you are in a place that doesnt have as much light you need to open up the aperture more(bigger hole) to allow more of the light in. When the aperture is open, you have a smaller depth of field which makes one thing clear with the background blurry. When the aperture is closed down you have a larger dept of field where almost everything is in focus and not blurry.

 

APERTURE

ISO is the indicator if how sensitive something is to light. This is measured in numbers (100,200,400,800 ect). The lower the number is, the lower the sensitivity of the photo will be and the finer the grain is in the photographs you're taking. Larger numbers are used more when there is less to no light.

ISO

Shutter speed is a term used to describe the exposure time of a camera, the length of time that the cameras shutter stays open. Slow shutter speed is used to suggest movement in a still photograph with a moving object. Fast shutter speed freezes a moving object on photograph.
