How can you tell what shutter speed and apeture a photo has been taken with?
Stack009
some digital cameras 'stamp' images one has taken with quite a bit of information, including aperture and shutter speed.
if the image you wish to check is at the camera side, turn on the camera, press whatever button is used to display the pictures, then press the button marked 'info' repeatedly until shutter speed and aperture are displayed.
not all cameras are designed the same way; so reading the instruction manual or making some intuitive guesses as to what to press should yield the desired result.
just make sure you don't operate any buttons that are red, or respond 'yes' to any text message asking if you want to delete a photograph!

if the image you wish to check has been ported to a computer's hard drive, open it with a graphics program such as irfanview or adobe photoshop.
under irfanview or other programs set up much the same way, click on 'image' at the top of the window and in the submenu select 'information'. in the window that now appears you will see aperture and shutter speed listed, or, if not, a box titled 'EXIF info'.
if the latter, selecting 'EXIF info' will yield what you want to know.
under adobe photoshop or other programs set up much the same way, select 'file' at the top of the page, then select 'file info'. if you don't see the information you seek, look, again, for a box named EXIF info, or one that allows several scroll-down selections, and choose the one designated EXIF info .
if you are able to select EXIF info but doing so does not show the data you seek, you must assume that the information was not saved by the camera or the software program is not able to decipher it.
as i am not familiar with all the graphics programs available, there are likely some with quite a different menu structure. in that case, read the 'help' section if available, or fiddle around until you get to where you need to go.
just remember: shutter speed and aperture are most likely to be found under EXIF info; so that's what you need to find and select.
good luck!---lee garret

What is aperature in a camera?
Aperture is the size of the hole that light has to pass through to get to the photo paper. An aperture with a small number would be a big whole and vice versa. In practice: If the shutter speed was high (short) the aperture would be low, meaning a large hole, so that the amount of light hitting the photo paper was correct. If the shutter speed was longer, the aperture would be a high, meaning a small hole, so that the correct amount of light met the paper... and not too much or too little. It is also how you control the depth of field in your photograph. Small aperture gives you a deep depth of field, and a large gives you an area of sharp focus. Hope that's slightly helpful!
Where was the photo taken?
anywhere
What are manual cameras?
A manual camera is a camera that does not have any automated functions, like film transport that winds the film, or exposure modes like shutter or aperture priority. Most manual cameras also do not have auto-focus capability.

What is a candid photo?

How do aperture and shutter speed work together to achieve proper exposure in a photograph?
Well when the aperture is wide enough and shutter speed is not fast enough then there will be enough amount of light for the photo to be taken and looking good enough.
Why do they add a shutter sound to a camera phone?
So that you know the photo has been taken.
What is long-take in photography?
A "long-take" often refers to a long exposure. This is an image taken with a longer than normal shutter speed.By capturing a scene over a longer time, any movement in the scene becomes blurred.Example: A photo of a waterfall taken at a shutter speed of 1/500 sec will freeze the water and you will see individual droplets suspended in air, but a shutter speed of 1 sec will cause all the moving water to become a blur.Note: A "long-take" can often require the use of a tripod or other stabilizing device.

How many seconds is a normal shutter speed i have a Nikon n80 with adjustable shutter speed and i was wondering what the noraml shutter speed is?
Shutter speed depends upon available light, aperture, the subject, and camera settings. If a picture is being taken in low light with a slow lens (larger aperture number), then the shutter may need to stay open longer (represented in the camera as x" where x is one second or more, or 1/x where x is a smaller number). A picture with ample light could be a fraction of a second (represented in the camera as 1/x, with x being a larger number). Try visiting photography related websites to learn more about the art (and science) of photography, and you can pick up a few tricks at the same time.
On a manually-operated camera exposures can be made or manipulated with the shutter speed and the aperture one of these controls the output of the flash do you know which one?
The answer is Aperture. The Shutter Speed does not affect Flash output. You can prove this by setting up a camera with a flash in a room where you can control the lighting. Photograph an object in the room until you determine the best flash exposure...such as F 5.6, F 8, etc. Now that you know the F stop (aperture) that allows the proper amount of flash, turn off the room lights so that there is virtually no ambient light in the room. Leaving your camera set to the correct aperture (F stop), take different exposures by changing the shutter speed each time while not changing the aperture. You will see for yourself that the flash exposure is the same with each exposure even if you try one shutter speed at 1/60 and another at 1/2 second. The shutter speeds would only make a difference in the overall exposure if there was existing ambient light...then the exposure would become light or darker depending on the shutter speed. With a slower shutter speed the scene would be brighter as more ambient light was taken in, but the shutter speed did not affect the flash, only the ambient light.
