DSLR cameras are fantastic for taking stunning photographs, but if you don\u2019t understand how to use them, it\u2019s an expensive purchase. There are so many settings to consider\u2014shutter speed, aperture, exposure\u2014that it can get a bit overwhelming. \u201cEven speaking to a photographer friend of mine who works for a pretty prestigious company in London,\u201d Simon Roberts says, \u201che spent a lot of university struggling to understand how his camera operated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Roberts, who is a freelance graphic designer and animator, ran into problems of his own while teaching himself how to use a DSLR for motion graphic projects. That\u2019s why he created <\/span>Photography-Mapped<\/span><\/i><\/a>, a screen-printed graphic that lays out the various features of a DSLR camera and their functions. The website even includes an <\/span>interactive<\/span><\/a> that shows users what happens when the camera\u2019s exposure is adjusted. <\/span><\/p>\n

Normally, camera exposure is represented by an \u201cexposure triangle,\u201d a triangular graph that shows how aperture, shutter speed, and the sensor are all related. But for Roberts, this interpretation was too complex. He also felt that it, and other metaphors, were lacking a crucial component: time. In Roberts\u2019s version, he simplified the approach to understanding exposure and then animated his diagram, creating a new digital tool for photographers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The two-color diagram features the physical components of a camera with four columns detailing how the lens, aperture, shutter, and sensor operate. There is also a section about how an exposure is measured and its importance. The columns are arranged in the order of the sequence, further illustrating how all these components work together. The interactive gives users the opportunity to put their newfound knowledge into practice. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing the order in which the light comes in is important to me,\u201d Roberts says. \u201cYou have the aperture that is restricting the volume of light coming in. The shutter restricting the time and the sensor emitting more or less light based on what you want. That sequence, and knowing that\u2019s how it actually works, for me, was the \u2018aha\u2019 moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
