2. 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

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

4. 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

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

6. 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

7. 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 , 400, 800, 1600, 3200

8. What does a small number mean?
What does a big number mean ?
a big number means the camera is extremely sensitive to light
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 etc good for bright rooms and sunny outdoor scenes

9. 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

10. 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)

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

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. Shallow depth of field

16. What is 3 Point Lighting?
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.
