Aperture, Shutter, and ISO Assignment

Aperture


f/2.8




f/8.0





1. The sense of the camera is in control of the aperture.

2. The smaller the aperture number, the higher the aperture quality.

3. A larger aperture adds quality and a focus point to a picture. It helps divide and adds depth to a picture.


Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed





Fast Shutter Speed

-You can handle the shutter speed automatically with the in-camera metering. When the camera is in auto mode, the shutter and aperture are already selected by the camera.

-You can also handle the shutter speed manually by setting the camera to shutter priority mode where the shutter aperture is set automatically and the shutter speed is set by you.

- You can lastly handle the shutter speed manually by setting the camera to manual mode where you have complete control over the shutter speed and aperture.



ISO

200 ISO Example




3200 Example




1. Advantages of shooting on a high ISO at night would enable you to take good quality pictures without flash.

2. Use low ISO most of the time especially when it's light outside.

3. Use a high ISO setting at night when you need to capture things without using flash and also when you need to shoot a picture of a quick moving animal or object.

Photo Manipulation and Ethnics

D.



To falsely advertise that their school is diverse by inserting something that goes against the school's reality is highly unethical. To say that that the school is a certain way, they attract more people who want that aspect in a school, but ends up being the opposite is scamming the readers.


E.



I chose this picture as the least unethical because the editor just changed her teeth that is barely noticeable. If the editor changed her entire appearance, then that would be unethical. I don't see a problem in changing something minor to make her appearance more appealing that is going to be seen my many people on the cover of a magazine.

Academic Shoot Preview

(Part 1)

The Story


The way everyone is standing in a circle and how the sunlight shines through the trees gives the picture a more united feeling. The circle of people made around the pole shows that its some sort of tradition to do what they're doing or maybe something significant happened with the pole involved.


Action and Emotion

This picture shows how all the athletes feel. This photo also catches a glimpse of their personalities (ex: the person in orange is very excited and jumping around while the one in black is happy, but composes his excitement).




Filling the Frame


This picture has multiple aspects which make it more interesting to look at. The horse and rider are both focused in on the steer, while the crowd is watching the pair gallop after it. Dust is flying and the rope is in the air, this photo defiantly captures the moment.






(Part 2)
Picture Description: A student is solving a problem on a clear board that the camera is taking the picture from the other side.


1. The picture of the student solving the problem on the clear board is my favorite picture because the prospective of the picture is different and interesting to look at. The student looks naturally focused on the board even though he knows there is a picture being taken of him.

2. The background is simple and the attention is obviously focused on the person writing. The picture is also using the rule of thirds by placing the person's face towards the right while his hand is more towards the top center.





(Part 3)


1. I think I could take an interesting picture in Science or and History class.

2. I want to take my photos in my PREAP Biology class.

3. I will try to alternate and experiment with angles and I may try the rule of thirds in a few of my photos. I will also be mindful of the backgrounds and proximity of where I'll be taking the photo from.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. It was hard to find an interesting place and thing to take a picture of (the Bowie theme mostly).

2. I tried to center the main focus the most, the picture of the trophies in the library reflects this.

3. I wish I would have taken interesting angles in my photos, instead of just doing the standard horizontal picture.

4. The thing I would keep the same is keeping the main focus centered, otherwise it would have bothered me to look at it.

5. Most of my pictures were balanced and they had interesting, but simple backgrounds.

6. I don't think we should do the same prompt again, only because the choices are so limited that people may end up taking pictures of the same things.




Peyton's Photojournalism Blog


1: I like how the flower is focused, but to the side to the photo. I also love how the background was blurred out.

2. I love how you make your photos look unintentionally taken, it adds interest and life to your pictures.

2: I don't see any flaws in your pictures, they are just that good. Maybe in the future you could use the rule of thirds in one of your photos, that would look so cool.

Frame

     

The broken window focuses on the man on                                                                                                                                                                                                                         ladder by framing him into the center. The 

window is there to add more dimension to 

the picture.

Lines

The lines from the building help guide your

eye to the man. They even are vertical, just 

like the man, and they help follow the main

focus.

Leading Lines

The stripes of the flag leads your attention to

the man next to it. They stand out from the 

dull background which draws in your eye 

even more.

Simplicity

The blurred background is the same color
as the man, but it's easy to focus on the him
because the background is simple. The guy
stands out from what's behind him, which
makes it easy to pin-point him.

Balance

The balance between both sides of the photo
makes it pleasant to look at. The way that the
trees all look similar and the people are easily
spread across the picture makes someone look
at it from a whole perspective.

Rule of Thirds

                    

The guy is standing towards the center-bottom
of the photo which makes it more interesting to
look at. Even though there are people in the
background, someone could easily pick out the
focus of the picture by the angle and way it's taken.

4 Favorite Pictures

        Lines

1.

All of the trophies are lined up in a way that creates lines that

lead down to the banner.

Balance

2.

The hallway is even on both sides and the three

people standing all make the picture balanced. 

Frame

3.

The lines of the ceiling and the black and red lines frame the "JBS".

Rule of Thirds

4.

The square center made by all of the shoes is not centered

making the photo seem more interesting.

Framing

 Framing

This photo makes me feel appreciative towards the hard work that the firemen and police did when the attack happened. They are the true heros in America.  

Line Pathway

Lined Pathway

This photo reminds me of the efforts that the first responders were risking their lives to save people. It also shows how emotional and scared they looked. 

Main Focus Closer

Main Focus Filmed Closer

This photo portrays the tragedy that happened that day and what it's affects it had on people. The ash in the air sets a ghostly mood which adds a heavy feeling to the photo.

Dynamic Lines

Dynamic Lines

It is crazy to think about how people cleaned the rubble up after the towers fell. I wonder how many other buildings were effected when the towers were hit.

Simple Background

Simple Background

With the rubble flying through the air adds a dramatic effect to the photo. This photo makes it feel like I am watching the attack happen in person.

Off Center

 Main Focus Off Center


The flag in the picture represents patriotism even after the attack. Seeing flying high gives a sense of hope to this photo.

The Camera

1. The camera obscura effect shows images upside down. In order to achieve this effect, you create a small hole in the wall of a completely dark room and the outside scene is shown on the opposite wall upside-down.

2. The understanding of optics and lenses were perfected in the 17th century.

3.  The parts of the first camera was made out of glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4. Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and then shows the film.

5. Digital cameras use an electronic sensor called a CCD to capture an image.


Camera Modes

6. On Auto Mode, the camera controls the flash and exposure and Program Mode will just point and shoot.

7. Portait Mode is used for blurring out the background by using the fastest available lens setting (aperture)

8. Sports Mode uses freeze motion by using the highest shutter speed possible.


The Half-Press

 9. Use half press to focus on the image before taking the picture.


Controlling Flash

10. The symbol means no flash and you use it so the natural light can make it more dramatic.

11. The symbol means auto flash and the camera will use it if it thinks it needs more light.


Introduction to Exposure

12. If there is too much light, then the photo will be washed out.

13. If there isn't enough light, then the photo will be too dark.


The Universal Stop

14. It represents a relative change in the brightness of light.

15. 1 stop brighter

16. 1 stop brighter


Shutters and Aperture

17. Longer shutter=more light

18. Shorter shutter=less lights

19. The size of the opening that the light passes through.

20. closing it to restrict light or opening it to let light through.
