ISO

ISO 200

ISO 3200
The advantages of shooting night photos with a high ISO is being able to get a good photo in low light.
The author suggests using a low ISO when there is enough light mostly to keep  a clear photo.  When using a high ISO he suggests to use it when  youre trying to get a frozen photo. Also whenever its dark.

F4 looks good with 1/125 of a second shutter speed, the background is blurry, but you can see the shape of a couple objects.
F5.6 looks good with 1/60 of a second shutter speed. The background is becoming more visible.
F8 looks good with 1/60 of a second Shutter speed. The background is more noticeable but the whole photo became darker.
F11 looks good with 1/60 of a second shutter speed. The photo is much darker.
F16 looks good with 1/30 of a second shutter speed. Its still dark, but a bit more darker.
F22 looks good with 1/15 of a second shutter speed. The lighting on the photo is okay, but the 2 subjects are blurred out.


I did really well on both tests. I completely understand shutter speed, but aperture is a bit challenging to me. The ISO is mostly easy also, id probably need a bit of help when id want to catch something fast.



Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter speed.
High Shutter speed

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth- Exremely Fast Shutter Speed
b.) the food eating contest- Fast Shutter Speed
c.) the rock climbing wall- Fast shutter speed
d.) someone working at a booth- Fast shutter speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- Fast Shutter speed
f.) the Diamonds performance.- Fast shutter speed



Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
a.) the dunking booth- Slow Shutter speed
b.) the food eating contest- Slow
c.) the rock climbing wall- Slow
d.) someone working at a booth-  Slow
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- Slow
f.) the Diamonds performance.- Slow






Aperture Priority- You manually set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed for you.
Shutter Priority- All you have to manually change is the shutter speed and the camera will set the aperture for you. 
Manual- Setting where you manually set the shutter speed and the aperture.

Aperture

f2.8

f18
The human eyes' pupil can be closely related to aperature.
The smaller the aperture, the less light enters the lens. The higher the aperture, the more light enters the lens.

If you have a small aperture then every object in your photo will become clear so you can see everything in the background and foreground. If your aperture is higher then your "pupil" opens up more and takes in more light also causes the foreground to be in focus and the background blurred.
