Interactive tool demonstrates how camera settings impact images

A neat interactive camera tool created by London-based designer and artist Simon Roberts helps new photographers visualize the way camera settings impact images. Users are given both Auto and Manual options, each featuring sliders representing settings like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.

In explaining why he created the tool, Roberts said, “A big part of my day job is using design and animation to make complex things more comprehensible – through this project I’m applying these skills to photography.”

Users can manually adjust the slider for each camera setting, seeing in real time the effects on things like exposure, motion blur and depth of field. Roberts also provides a printed graphic that breaks down each setting; an A2 screen print is £39 and an A3 riso print is £21, both options including free international shipping.
