Camera  The camera is a dark room or chamber from which all light is excluded except the light that forms the image.  The subject being photographed, however, must be illuminated.

APERTURE  is a hole or an opening through which light travels.  a wide aperture results in an image that is sharp around what the lens is focusing on and blurred otherwise.  the narrower the aperture, the darker the image

SHUTTER SPEED  Adjustment of the speed of the shutter to control the amount of time the imaging medium is exposed to light.  Shutter speed may be used to control the amount of light striking the image.  Faster shutter speeds (shorter duration) decrease both the amount of light and image blurring from motion.

METERING  Measurement of exposure so that highlights and shadows are exposed according to the photographer's wishes.  Many modern cameras meter and set exposure automatically.

ISO SPEED  The higher the ISO number the greater the film sensitivity to light.  A lower ISO number the film is less sensitive to light.  A combination of ISO speed, aperture, and shutter speed leads to an image that is neither too dark nor too light.
