manual camera
fast shutter speed
In college we used the cameras manually, to takes these pictures of dropping items into water. When taking these photos we found that using a fast shutter speed was best to capture the moment the objects hit the water and the reaction that occurred (the splash).
After having done that, I continued to take pictures out of college, of my friends jumping, throwing and kicking leaves and causing splashes. A fast shutter speed is able to capture images of these actions which would be over in seconds.

slow shutter speed
Drawing with light: with a slow shutter speed you can capture the movement of light in an image. We did this in college by creating a dark environment, then using different handheld lights and moving them about, during a long exposure.

definitions
ISO - ISO stands for the International Organisation for Standardisation. This is the cameras sensitivity to light. A higher ISO means more sensitivity, where as a low ISO means less sensitivity. ISO overall can effect the quality of your photo and can make your photos lighter or darker.
Shutter speed - Is the speed at which a camera’s shutter closes. A faster shutter speed creates a shorter exposure time meaning less light is let into the camera which would make the image darker. A slow shutter speed gives the camera a longer exposure, meaning more light is let in and the photo will be brighter.
Aperture - Aperture is the opening of a lenses diaphragm through which the light passes. Aperture is expressed in f-number e.g. f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, this expresses the size of which the lens opens. Overall, aperture can affect the depth of an image but mainly affects the brightness, as the aperture is the size of the opening which lets the light in is. Therefore, a smaller opening would let less light in (higher f/stops) than a larger one (lower f/stop).
