hello /p/

I got my first srl camera a week, a nikon N2020,
and next year i will start to study photography, i have been make some shots to practice, and i know the basic theory but what i still don't understand completely is about the exposure time and the diaphragm aperture, i and not sure what settings i must use in certain conditions. any good advice would be much appreciated.

sorry for the crappiness of the pic i don't have my digital camera rigth now.

ilford hp5\fp4 film is best for learning the basics, I find.

Google 'photography exposure', that'll give you everything you need

that is a problem cosiderating that in my contry the most available film brands are, kodak ultra, proimage iso 100 and sometimes fuji reala. there isn't too much variety and specialized photo stores are rare.

put your camera in shutter priority set the aperture to the lowest f-stop and fire away

there's usually a chart on the box that the film comes in. Or you could just follow the light meter until you instinctively know what f-stop and/or exposure time to use.

if your shooting out doors there i a rule called sunny 16 where you set the aperture to 16 and the shutter speed to 100 and this will yield proper exposures

When shooting black and white, use an 18% grey card, they are so incredibly useful. If you cant get one, use the center of your hand.

Put the card in the light your subject will be in. Take a meter reading off that. Make sure the dial or whatever is in the center saying its correctly exposed. Then shoot the subject.

Another thing is that, i read that aperture also controls the wide of the focus area in the photo, the more clossed the aperture more amplitude, more open less amplitude but how can i match the aperture and the exposition time to get a good shot.

i am learning i don't want esay peasy solutions, and the photometer isn't too accurate sometimes.

Look at the live histogram and adjust the exposure accordingly.

close. the shutter speed needs to be set to film speed and f/16 is for when it's sunny.

A higher f-stop will give you a wider depth of field, but then you'll need to set it to a longer exposure time. If you aren't using a tripod your photos will probably be blurry if you're exposing for longer than 1/60 of a second.
