Reflection Week 9

On this week, we covered the lesson on Photography

Photography is the process of recording visual images by capturing light rays on a light-sensitive recording medium.

We learned on the Three Pillars of Photography, which is;


  • Shutter speed

Shutter speed is the opening duration of a camera's shutter,

Longer shutter speed promotes to : More light (brighter image), and more motion blur

Shorter shutter speed promotes to : Lesser light (darker image), and less motion blur



  • Aperture

Aperture is the opening where light enters.

The opening is also called as the f-stop



Smaller f-stop number = larger opening for more light (brighter image) and shallower depth of field (picture on the right side)

Larger f-stop number = smaller opening for lesser light (darker image) and greater depth of field (picture on the left) 



  • Iso

Iso is basically the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light.

Lower number means lesser sensitivity of your camera to light 





Learning these pillars will be very helpful in our photography assignment, and for our own personal use


After that, prior to our photography assignment that will take place in Putrajaya, we are to create our own Flickr account, where we will post the pictures that we took during the excursion.


I don't really take pictures much on my own, but I'm starting to enjoy doing it because it proves to hold sentimental values for myself, and the class taught me on how to take better ones :).
