A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture — effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box.

Shutter Definitions

  1. Shutter: a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene. A shutter can also be used to allow pulses of light to pass outwards, as in a movie projector or signal lamp.
  2. Shutter Speeds: the time that the shutter remains open when taking a photograph [1/1000 s, 1/500 s, 1/250 s, 1/125 s, 1/60 s, 1/30 s, 1/15 s, 1/8 s, 1/4 s, 1/2 s, 1 s ]
  3. Shutter Priority: a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure correct exposure.
  4. Exposure & how to set your camera for a good exposure: the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium (photographic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph
  5. Bulb: abbreviated B, is a shutter speed setting on an adjustable camera that allows for long exposure times under the direct control of the photographer
  6. Cable Release: a device consisting of a flexible wire that is pressed at one end to trip a shutter mechanism on a camera.
  7. Tripod: a word generally used to refer to a three-legged object, generally one used as a platform of some sort, and comes from the Greek tripous, meaning "three feet".
  8. Light Meter: a device used to measure the amount of light
  9. Bracketing: the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different or the same camera settings.
  10. Hot Shoe: shaped somewhat like an inverted, squared-off "U" of metal
