   The 3 important things on a camera

     They are 3 important things that affect the quality of your picture.
Remember: (the quality of your picture depends on your knowledge about photography)
These are the 3 important things: the shutter (shutter speed), the aperture and the ISO.
They are represented like this:]


A.THE SHUTTER SPEED: The shutter is the moving cover the lens of a camera, which opens when a photograph is taken. When it opens, the light is allowed in the camera. By adjusting the shutter speed you can control the movement of your subject moving through your frame.
The shutter speed is known as well as the exposure time
B. THE APERTURE
The aperture is the opening in a camera, through which the light passes.
C. THE ISO:
The ISO controls how sensitive the cameras sensor is to light and also how the sensitive film is to light.
The SHUTTER SPEED the ISO and APERTURE they depend a factor called the LIGHT
THE LIGHT:
In 1980s it was very difficult to get a good image in the day light. To have a good image, they used what I call the natural 3 lights setting. This light was taken from the window.
The 3 light techniques:
The 3 light techniques is a standard use in film, clips and still photography such as studio. Once you have understand the three lighting techniques, you can have good image qualities even with natural lights (Sun, Moon).
Each of the 3 lights has a name
1. THE KEY LIGHT 
This is the main light. It always the stronger and has influence on the look of the scene. It is always placed to one side of the object or the person, so that one side it's well lighten another has the shadow.
2.THE KEY LIGHT:
It is the second light placed opposite the Key light and gives light to the shadow created by the key light.
3.THE BACK LIGHT 
The back light is placed behind the object and lights the rear.
