I spent a couple hours carousing downtown with my friend Jana; our cameras strapped to our necks as I taught her how to better manipulate her camera. Fun times!
We ended at Riccos for pizza, salad and a glass of red wine.I have to tell you, the thing that I made so clear to her was to take the camera out of automatic. Put it into AV mode (aperture priority) in the manual setting section. You, as the photographer, have so much more control over the light that falls on your subject, whether it be a person or a glass of wine.
The smaller the number, the larger the opening, more light hits your subject. That's a good tip to know in a low light situation. You can also bump up your ISO for additional light.
The larger the number, the smaller the opening, the less light hits your subject. Good tip in a sunny situation or a lot of light.
So, remember F/16 when it is sunny...F/8 or F/11 when cloudy...A wide open aperture like F/1.8/4.5/5.6 is great for indoors. Again, remember...bump up your ISO when your indoor--that will allow more light in as well.
