How WIDE the hole in the back of the lens opens to allow light in What is APERTURE? How WIDE the hole in the back of the lens opens to allow light in

How is Aperture measured? Measured in F-Stops f-1.4 - f-22

the amount of time the shutter is open for each time we take a picture What is SHUTTER SPEED? the amount of time the shutter is open for each time we take a picture

Measured in Fractions of a second 1/2000- 1/30 etc How Do We Measure SHUTTER SPEED? Measured in Fractions of a second 1/2000- 1/30 etc

What does a small number mean ? 1/4000 - 1/2000 a small number/fraction means the shutter is only open for a short time Good for freezing action Sports Photography What does a big number mean ? 1/2-1/4-1/8 a large number/fraction means the shutter is open for a longer time Good for portraits Low Light Situations

Is how light sensitive the camera is What is ISO? Is how light sensitive the camera is How is it measured? (give example too) in multiples of 100. 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

What does a small number mean? What does a big number mean ? a big number means the camera is extremely sensitive to light 800-1600 etc good for low light and dark scenes What does a small number mean? a small number means the camera is not very sensitive to light 100-200 etc good for bright rooms and sunny outdoor scenes

The LOWER the ISO, the more rich and detailed your TIP FOR USING ISO The LOWER the ISO, the more rich and detailed your picture will be

What is White Balance it is measured in degrees Kelvin (K) White balance is the process of calibrating your camera to show colors accurately under varying light conditions. Think of it as making sure the color white is always white so that your image doesn’t have blue or red tints. it is measured in degrees Kelvin (K)

What is White Balance Different light sources burn at different temperatures We have to use white balance adjustment in our camera

Notice the balls farther away are not in focus..= What is Depth of Field? What is in FOCUS in front of and behind the subject we are shooting Notice the balls farther away are not in focus..= shallow depth of field

What is DEPTH OF FIELD? What are the 2 different types of DEPTH OF FIELD? SHALLOW Depth Of Field Shallow depth of field reduces distracting backgrounds-focus is on only the subject 2. DEEP Depth of Field Everything is in FOCUS, from the foreground to the background

If we have a SMALL APERTURE, what type of depth of field will we If we have a LARGE APERTURE, what type of depth of field will we possibly get? A Small Aperture F Stop (say F 1.2) means a large opening which = a SHALLOW depth of field If we have a SMALL APERTURE, what type of depth of field will we possibly get? A large F Stop (say F-stop 22) means a small opening which = a DEEP DEPTH OF FIELD

Shallow depth of field

What is 3 Point Lighting? http://www.mediacollege.com/lighting/three-point/ The technique uses three lights called the key light, fill light and back light. Naturally you will need three lights to utilize the technique fully, but the principles are still important even if you only use one or two lights. As a rule: • If you only have one light, it becomes the key. • If you have 2 lights, one is the key and the other is either the fill or the backlight.
