Equipments needed for Photography
                    • Camera
                    • Reflector
                    • Tripod for greater stability during long exposure
                    Aperture
                    • Adjustment of the lens opening
                    • Measured as f-number
                    • Controls the amount of light passing through the lens
                    • Has an effect on depth of field and diffraction
                    Focus
                    • Adjustment to place the sharpest focus where it is desired on the subject
                    Shutter Speed
                    • Adjustment of the speed of the shutter to control the amount of time during which the imaging medium is exposed to light for each exposure
                    • May be used to control the amount of light striking the image plane
                    ISO Speed
                    • Are employed on modern digital cameras as an indication of the system's gain from light to numerical output and to control the automatic exposure system.
                    • Higher the ISO number the greater the film sensitivity to light; the lower ISO number, the film is less sensitive to light
                    • Correct combination of ISO speed, aperture, and shutter speed leads to an image that is neither too dark nor too light
                    Metering
                    • Measurement of exposure
                    • Control the highlights and shadows
                    White Balance
                    • Control the color temperature
                    For more information on color temperature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

                    Composition
                    • Rules of Thirds - dividing the image by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines, the 4 intersection of these line will be the most interesting places for main subject(s)
