6. Are your photos lacking style? Do you wish you could create effects like these? By the end of the lesson you will be able to create effects like this that can be used for work, class, vacations, and social networking sites such as Facebook. Section 1: Introduction

7. Introduction After completing this module you will be able to utilize aperture and shutter speed to achieve techniques such as frozen motion, blur motion, shallow depth of field, and deep depth of field This lesson will not use a camera. These effects are created by manipulating aperture and shutter speed. Once you learn when to raise or lower aperture and shutter speed values you will be able to apply these effects to any camera. Section 1: Introduction Key Point: Aperture and Shutter Speed are the only new terms you need to learn

8. Key Point: Each type of photo has unique characteristics that can be used to tell them apart Section 2: Presenting the Effects By the end of this section you will be able to identify these four effects: Frozen motion Blur motion Shallow depth of field Deep depth of field. Section 2: Presenting the Effects

9. An Example of Frozen Motion 1 of 4 Next Characteristics of Frozen Motion The subject of the photo is in an action moment The subject would appear to be frozen in their action There is NO blur in the photo. The subject is perfectly clear Section 2: Presenting the Effects

10. An Example of Blur Motion PreviousNext 2 of 4 Characteristics of Blur Motion Again the subject of the photo is in an action moment The subject would appear to be moving in their action There IS blur in the photo. Section 2: Presenting the Effects

11. An Example of Shallow Depth of Field PreviousNext 3 of 4 Characteristics of Shallow Depth of Field The subject of these photos is not involved in action The focal point of the photo is clear The focal point of the photo is close Other elements of the photo are blurred Section 2: Presenting the Effects

12. An Example of Deep Depth of Field PreviousNext 4 of 4 Characteristics of Deep Depth of Field The subject of these photos is not involved in action The focal point of the photo is clear The focal point of the photo is Far Little to no blur is involved Often times a landscape photo. Section 2: Presenting the Effects

13. Is there action in the photo? Here is a flowchart to help figure out which photo effect is in use: Does the subject appear frozen in time? Is the focal point of the photo close? Is the subject blurred? Is the focal point of the photo far? Frozen Motion Shallow Depth of Field Blur Motion Deep Depth of Field Section 2: Presenting the Effects Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes

14. Hint: If you need help refer back to the chart on the previous slide Section 2: Presenting the Effects Practice Let’s test what you just learned. There is no penalty for getting practice problems wrong in this module. Once you finish the problem evaluate yourself. If you got it right move on to the next section. If you got a couple wrong or feel unsure review this section again before moving on.

17. Key Point: Shutter Speed is one of the values needed to create these photo effects Section 3: What is Shutter Speed? By the end of this section you will be able to: Define Shutter Speed Understand how it is measured

18. Key Point: When you manipulate shutter speed you affect both controls Shutter Speed: The amount of time the shutter is open But what does that mean? For the purposes of the lessons there are only 2 things that need to be taken away from this definition. Shutter speed controls: How much light is let into the photo How much time passes before the photo is snapped Lets look at how shutter speed is measured next Section 3:What is Shutter Speed?

19. Shutter speed is measured in tenths, hundredths, thousandths of a second Examples include 1/10, 1/500, and 1/2000. So 1/500 indicates that the shutter: Will let in light for 1/500 th of a second Will wait 1/500 th of a second before taking the photo Likewise 1/10 indicates that the shutter: Will let light in for 1/10 th of a second Will wait 1/10 th of a second before taking the photo Section 3:What is Shutter Speed? Keep in mind: Shutter speed measurements can vary from camera to camera

20. Practice Section 3:What is Shutter Speed? How long will light get in for the following shutter speeds? 1/250 1/25 For The following shutter speeds which one is FASTER? 1/1000 or 1/10 1/50 or 1/250

21. Practice Answers Section 3:What is Shutter Speed? How long will light get in for the following shutter speeds? 1/250 Light will enter the photo for 1/250 th of a second 1/25 Light will enter the photo for 1/25 th of a second For The following shutter speeds which one is FASTER? 1/1000 or 1/10 1/1000 th of a second is faster than 1/10 th of a second 1/50 or 1/250 1/250 th of a second is faster than 1/50 th of a second

22. Section 4: What is Aperture? Key Point: Aperture is the other values needed to create these photo effects By the end of this section you will be able to: Define Aperture Understand how it is measured

23. Section 4:What is Aperture? Keep in mind f/stop measurements can vary from camera to camera Aperture: the size of the opening in the lens when a photo is taken But what does that mean? Aperture controls: Lighting in the the photo Depth of the photo Aperture is measured in f/stops The stop or number is a measurement that the lens is open Examples include f/2, f/11, and f/32. The smaller the number the more light that is let in Also the smaller the number the more narrow your shot will be Example f/11 will let in more light then f/32

24. Section 4:What is Aperture? Keep in mind: The less light that is let in the wider your shot becomes Here’s another look at aperture. The circles represents camera lense and the numbers are the aperture value.

25. Practice Section 4:What is Aperture? Which of these apertures will let more light in? f/2 or f/11 f/5.6 or f/32 Whose lens is open more? f/2 or f/11 f/5.6 or f/32

26. Practice Section 4:What is Aperture? Which of these apertures will let less light in? f/2 or f/11 f/11 f/5.6 or f/32 f/32 Whose lens is open more? f/2 or f/11 f/2 f/5.6 or f/32 f/5.6

27. Section 4:What is Aperture? If shutter speed and aperture both affect light in the photo then what’s the difference? There is one important differences to note: 1.Shutter speed affects how long light is let into the photo whereas aperture affects the angle light enters the photo If this is a little unclear right now that’s ok. You will learn more about this in sections 5 and 6 Keep in mind: You can look back at any section later if you need more help

28. Section 5: Shutter speed and aperture work together to achieve these effects Section 5: Blur and Frozen Motion By the end of this section you will be able to: Manipulate Shutter speed and aperture values to create blur motion photos Manipulate Shutter speed and aperture values to create frozen motion photos

29. Keep in mind You can refer to these rules later if you need to. Section 5: Blur and Frozen Motion 1. To create all the effects in this module you must manipulate both shutter speed and aperture. 2. The effect you want to use determines whether shutter speed or aperture is changed first 3. There is no absolute value for any of these effects. Different situations call for different values. You can’t freeze a race car at the same values you would freeze a jogger 4. When a shutter speed or aperture value is increased or decreased by 1 this is referred to as a click. 5. There is a “click” relationship between shutter speed and aperture. If you change the shutter speed value by 3 clicks then you must also change aperture by 3 clicks. There will be more on this later 6. Every camera has different values for shutter speed and aperture. Don’t worry if the lesson refers to a value that isn’t on your camera. General Rules for the Rest of this Module

30. Note Low shutter speed is a low number. Low aperture is a high number Section 5: Blur and Frozen Motion Settings for a Blur Motion Photo 1.Shutter speed is manipulated first Since shutter speed is the main part of this effect it is changed first 2.Shutter speed is set low This allows light to enter for a longer time and will blur the photo. An example of low shutter speed is 1/4 3.Aperture is set high This will angle the light to assist in blurring the photo. An example of high aperture is f/2 Highest Lowest

31. Remember: For blur motion you want a low shutter speed and high aperture setting Section 5: Blur and Frozen Motion Steps for taking a Blur Motion Photo 1.Point your camera at what you want to take a photo of in auto mode. This will automatically change the camera settings for current environment. 2.Switch your camera to manual mode. 3.Change your shutter speed setting to a low setting. There is no definitive setting that works. You will have to use a guess and check technique. Remember how many clicks you change shutter speed. 4.Change aperture the same amount of clicks you did shutter speed except in the high setting direction. Take photo and repeat process to achieve the amount of blur desired. 5.
