I didn't do anything with this photo but I somehow think there is something wrong with it. Maybe the sky shouldn't be that high.. or maybe it
should be higher. And the background was not as clear as I want it to be. Do you think I got the aperture size wrong?

ok I have this picture to answer the question on the rule of third. Basically rule of third is how you place your subject ideally. Check your friends and family pics, or your old pics. All the subjects are positioned right in the centre. Well by applying the rule of third, this will move the subject away from the centre. When you take a shot, divide the view into three lines and place the subject in the line close to the edge. Your beach picture is an example of rule of third.

Oh riiight.. So really, I took this photo and applied the rule of third to it without knowing it.

Must be better than I thought..

..so brah, how can u relate these two figures n y u say its a good shot?...is there such rule between aperture n shutter speed to capture a good photo?..

You gotta know how to balance those two, the aperture and shutter speed. Aperture controls how much light coming in just like how much water goin out from a pipe, the bigger the pipe, the bigger the flow. So high aperture usually the lowest f stops like f/1.4, f2.8. Shutter speed controls how much time light coming in just like the valve of the pipe. Fast shutter speeds allows longer opening of the shutter while slower shutter speed allows little time.

Zadm.. I'm abit confuse about your last sentence on your last comment.. Fast shutter speed allows longer or shorter opening of the shutter..?

zadm already answered on my behalf, let me answer ur last question on his behalf hehe..

fast shutter speed allows shorter opening time of the shutter.. meaning less light entered into your film/sensor, to compensate for this, increase your aperture (in the case of this pic f/2.8) so that the diaphragm opens bigger to let more lights in, just like a water pipe as per Zadm.

so i'd say in this pic f/2.8 and 1/4000 is just a perfect combination for an outdoor pic like this.

Imprtant note: smaller number means high aperture, bigger number means low aperture

Correct me if im wrong anyone..hehehe

I hope this website can explain further about this.

You have to play with the aperture and shutter speed.

Getting the correct exposure can be obtained by:

1) low f/stops + fast shutter speed
2) high f/stops + slow shutter speed.
