Why are certain photos very dark?

Re: Why are certain photos very dark?

Photography,

In your first photo, you have the shutter speed set to 1/100 and your aperture set to f22.

In your second photo, your shutter speed set to 1/40 and your aperture at f/5.6.

Your second photo is going to let in a lot more light.

The 1/100 shutter speed isn't bad,  but try that at a wider aperture like f/5.6 or f/8.
