Shutter Speed
Natsumi Hayashi
Natsumi Hayashi is a photographer who uses the technique of deviation photography and a fast shutter speed to get a floating effect. She has lots of different types of photos but they all have a common theme of levitation.
Natsumi Hayashi is the photographer and she is from Saitama, Japan and she specialises in levitation photography.
This photograph was taken in 2011 and is one of her levitation photographs. I like that levitation aspect and the contrast of colours, but I feel that the rest of the photo is pretty bland and boring with not much going on in the background.

Aperture
Aperture is a hole in the lens and it is controlled by a switch on top of the camera. Changing the aperture also controls the depth of field.
It is measured in F stop with the lowest number being the biggest and the highest being the smallest.
Depth of field is the distance between the farthest and closest object you can focus on.

Two photographs, using Aperture to focus on the person in front.
Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds is a technique where you split your photo into three parts with one object/person in the first part and a different thing for the other two parts.
