I learned that shutter speed and aperture are very important to a photo's exposure. I also learned that aperture is the size of the opening in your camera when you take a picture. It is measured in f-stops which either doubles or halves the opening in the lens of your camera. I learned that shutter speed is what makes it possible to get good action shots such as an athlete playing a sport or a car going by.
