Photography is the art of capturing light with a camera to create an image. It involves understanding and manipulating several key elements:
Light

The foundation of photography. Different types of light (natural, artificial) and its intensity (brightness) significantly impact the final image.
Composition

Arranging elements within the frame to create a visually appealing and balanced image. Techniques include the rule of thirds, leading lines, and symmetry.
Exposure

Controlling the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor. This is achieved by adjusting shutter speed (how long the sensor is exposed to light), aperture (the size of the lens opening), and ISO (the sensor’s sensitivity to light).
Focus

Ensuring that the subject of the photograph is sharp and clear. This can be achieved through manual focus or autofocus.
By understanding and applying these basic principles, anyone can start taking better photographs.
