Camera

A device that records images, still photographs or moving images.
Camera obscure is Latin for 'dark chamber'.

Shutter

A shutter is a device that allows light to pass through for a determined period of time, to expose photographic film.




This was research on the different types of photography genres,
 that I found in magazines.

Shutter Speeds

    FREEZE ACTION          HAND HOLD             MOVEMENT BLURRY          


Aperture

An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. It can be measured in increments called F-stops. The bigger the aperture, the more information it can take in.

Lens

Camera brings the focus to the film or detector. 

Exposure Control

The size of the aperture and the brightness of the scene controls the amount of light that enters the camera during a period of time. the shutter controls the length of time that light hits recording surface.
