What are shutter speeds and F stops?
Shutter speed and F Stop settings work together to create the exposure(image on film),by allowing the light from the subject you are shooting, to expose the film in your camera. The Image enters your your camera’s lens in the form of reflected light. Your selected F-Stop(lens opening size) also known as aperture setting, will determine the intensity of light that will be allowed to pass through the lens on the way to the film. The light then must pass the camera’s shutter in order to strike film (make the exposure). Your camera’s shutter stays closed until you click the shutter release button on your camera (take the picture). The shutter opens and closes for the amount of time you have selected with your shutter speed setting, allowing the lmage comming through the lens’ aperture to strike the film for that selected amount of time.
