Aperture: The aperture is essentially an opening that allows light into a device to create an image
Shutter: The shutter is a device that opens to allow light in, and closes to limit the amount of light let into the device, thus controlling the brightness of the image being created
Depth of Field: The area or zone of a photograph, from front to back, which is in focus
Higher ISO's: Higher iso's yield a grainier/fuzzier image, but allow for more light sensitivity.
1 stop of aperture = 1 stop of shutter speed= 1 stop of iso
Natural Light: When using natural light, overcast weather gives the best most detailed image.
Controls: The opening
