Aperture and Shutter Speed

Aperture is the amount of light that is let into the camera and shutter speed is the amount of time it takes for you shutter to open and close. When the camera is a low shutter speed your allowing more light into the camera. On my camera (Nikon D90) there are setting for the camera called Mode A (Aperture priority auto) which chooses your exposure when you press down on the shutter release button halfway and than gives you the job to change the aperture to where you want it to be by rotating the sub dial. For Shutter Speed it's called Mode S (Shutter-Priority Auto). This mode you choose the shutter speed while the camera automatically selects the aperture that will produce the optimal exposure.

This Photo is taken by a photographer I know(Ronaldo Stewart). this photo caught my attention by the depth of continuous lights on the ceiling of the parking garage. I  love the neutral tone of the photo and the feeling of how alone the car is parked. I would love to recreate this effect because aside of very colorful photos i love dark and neutral photos too. I discovered this photo on Flickr.

This photo caught my attention from all of the colors from the external lights in the room and the color of the headphones and hat. I also this photo because it feels like you're there in the moment of the shot and I have always wanted to recreate a shot like this and shooting photos on the dj stand or on stage with a band. I found the photo on flickr.
