^Shallow depth of field : This is where, in this image in particular, the background is very much out of focus. This brings your attention towards the subject in the image, which is much closer to the front of the frame.

^Extended depth or field : Extended DoF means that everything in the frame is in focus, no matter where is it on the frame, background or foreground.

^Fast shutter speed : Fast shutter speed freezes the moment you click the shutter, hence why in this image, you can see individual droplets of water, which would otherwise be almost warped if the shutter speed was a bit slower. The higher the shutter speed the less blur there will be in the frame.

^ Slow shutter speed : The slower the shutter speed, the more light is allowed into your frame. The longer your camera sensor is open with the shutter, the more light it will pick up, allowing the light to become the “trails” you can see in the image above.

^ Low ISO : Low iso means low sensitivity to light. The lower the ISO setting in your camera settings, the darker your image will be in lowlight situations. In the image above I believe the subject has been brightened in post so that you can see the detail in his face etc.

^ High ISO : The higher the ISO you use, the more sensitivity to light your sensor will be. This allows for more detail to be picked up in low light situations, this can also cause grain to appear as your camera tries to brighten up the image.
