>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Terms Recap Aperture –Bigger → more light, less depth of field, smaller f- number ISO –Higher → more light, more noise Shutter Speed –Longer → more light, more motion blur Focus
>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Manual Mode Control all parameters –But why? Can over/underexpose/defocus things Easier/faster for more than one photo Don't miss any shots fiddling Don't need model Focus on “more important” things like composition How Ironic!
>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Film Advantages –Relatively Cheap –Great quality prints/scans –Big dynamic range –No worries about sensor size/autofocus/impro ved tech/”fancy” camera Disadvantages –May be hard to find film –Switching ISO! –Hassle of developing –Processing adds up to a digicam after a while... –Have to 'care' about your shots

>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Studio Shooting Backdrop –If want to have blur, keep 2-4 ft from subject All about controlled Lighting –Typical “3-point lighting” setup Portable studio?.. –Strobist movement
>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Strobists Use only portable flashes –Rig up flash to random things –Pocket Wizards, light stands, gels, rubber clamps –Gives more controlled light into scenes anywhere flickr.com/rastmansar This equipment is called “Traveling light”? Hmm.

>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Computer Sciency Stuffs - HDR Take many exposures to get a high dynamic range image –Or use RAW (12bit->8) Usually tone mapped afterwards, but not necessary
>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Computer Sciency Stuffs – Autostitch Take many photos from one viewpoint Stitches them and blends them automatically Now on iPhone, ridiculous!
>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Computer Sciency Stuffs – Light Stage Like 3 point lighting example before, but with more lights Can simulate any environment map around the subject in a photo
>>0 >>1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >> Computer Sciency Stuffs – Other stuff, look at SIGGRAPH Photographing Long Scenes with Multi-Viewpoint Panoramas ('06) Feature Based Image Metamorphosis ('92) Poisson Image Editing ('06)
