The photography team uses photography as a tool to enhance the multi-media ministries of the Berean SDA Church as it offers others a meaningful glimpse into the church’s character. Our Purpose is to use the creative avenue of photography to serve God by ministering to the church and individuals. Church Coverage Photography: The main goal of the Photography Ministry is to support the various ministries of Berean by taking pictures for people to enjoy. If a picture is worth a thousand words then Berean has a lot to say! The members of the photography team document the many events and activities the church puts together. We provide a visual history of where Berean has been. The pictures are available for everyone in the church to enjoy. The team's creative images are posted on Flickr.com, used in videos, on the website, Facebook and in printed materials.

Exposure: A Function of Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO rating (film speed) - Shared by: Mark Lee

THE WINDOW
Imagine your camera is like a window with shutters that open and close.
Aperture is the size of the window. If it’s bigger more light gets through and the room is brighter.
Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the shutters of the window are open. The longer you leave them open the more that comes in.
Now imagine that you’re inside the room and are wearing sunglasses (hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch). Your eyes become desensitized to the light that comes in (it’s like a low ISO).
There are a number of ways of increasing the amount of light in the room (or at least how much it seems that there is. You could increase the time that the shutters are open (decrease shutter speed), you could increase the size of the window (increase aperture) or you could take off your sunglasses (make the ISO larger).
