BW 9/13 Write the Question & the Answer: If your pictures are turning out too bright, what are some strategies that you can use reduce the amount of light entering the camera?

Agenda 9/13 Learning Goal & Scale Notes on Light Meter & Exposure Specifications for Final Project Start Final Project – Elements of Exposure

Students will understand the function of the 3 Elements of Exposure: Learning Goal: Students will understand the function of the 3 Elements of Exposure: ISO Shutter Speed Aperture

Learning Scale 4: Not only can I identify/analyze the Elements of Exposure, I can take photographs that demonstrate their function. 3: I can identify and analyze the Elements of Exposure within another person’s photograph. 2: I understand that the Elements of Exposure relate to light and I can remember some basic information about each one of them. 1: I understand that the Elements of Exposure are important photography concepts, but I don’t understand their function.

The Light Meter The light meter provides a measurement of the exposure The goal is to keep the arrow above the zero

Light meter On the LED Display On the Viewfinder

Overexposed Too much light Indicated by a “+” on the light meter

Under-exposed Not enough light Indicated by a “-” on the light meter

“Elements of Exposure” Team Project Shutter Speed – 2 pictures Motion Blur Action Freeze Aperture – 2 pictures Shallow Depth of Field Deep Depth of Field ISO – 2 pictures Low ISO High ISO You must pick NEW partners Total of 6 photographs

Naming your files Each file is required to be named the specific number, for example, “SS 1/1600” or, “F/1.4” Hint: Write down measurements in your sketchbook or on a post-it as you are shooting

BW 9/14 ** Get your Computer & Turn it on! If the light meter reads “-2,” what are two things you can do to improve the light quality?
