Glossary:

Aperture - Aperture refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, and 16. A smaller aperture value will also blur your background because it is shortening the distance that can be in focus.

ISO - ISO is your camera's sensitivity to light as it pertains to either film or a digital sensor. A lower ISO value means less sensitivity to light, while a higher ISO means more sensitivity.

Shutter Speed - Shutter speed is the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure — the amount of light the camera takes in — and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure. A slower shutter speed will also make a moving object appear blurry.

Prime - A lens that has no zoom range. They are often sharper, lower aperture (more light, smooth blurry background), are cheaper, and lighter.
