Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO pt.2

1) The part of the body that we should closely relate aperture to is the pupil of your eye.
2) The smaller the Aperture the larger f-stop, the larger the Aperture the smaller f-stop.
3) Aperture impacts Depth of Field by: a smaller aperture makes the objects in the front and back of the photo clear, but a larger aperture makes the objects in the front clear but the objects in the back blurry.

High Shutter Speed Towards the End When There's no Sun and has Gotten Dark Enough That You Can't See From One End of the Courtyard to the Other

The three settings your camera has regarding shutter speed are: Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual. Aperture Priority is when you set the aperture, but the camera sets the shutter speed; Shutter Priority is when you shut the shutter speed, but the camera sets the aperture; and manual is when you set the aperture and shutter speed.

1) The advantages of a shoot at a higher ISO for a basketball game or a night football game are: capturing the moment without a blur, or to get fast shots.
2) The suggestions that the author made about using a low ISO are: use a low ISO when there's plenty of light to get the most detail and have the best quality, or use in low light environments when you're camera is mounted on a tripod or sitting on low surfaces.
3) The suggestions that the author made about using a high ISO are: use a high ISO when there's not enough light to capture an image quickly, when shooting indoors without a flash to get rid of the blur, get fast shots, or when you think you can introduce blur to the image.1) The advantages of a shoot at a higher ISO for a basketball game or a night football game are: capturing the moment without a blur, or to get fast shots.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1. In photo manipulation the difference between editing for journalism and editing to make something meaningful are two things with a huge difference. Big newspapers are more strict whereas tabloids are more laid back with ethics of photos.

2. The philosophy of larger newspapers is that colors from the original photo should not be altered.

3. I think its perfectly okay to change the contrast or brightness of a photo to make the lighting less harsh, or brighter so its easier to see. But you should crossing the line into an unrealistic and unethical manipulation. Once something is altered in a way that deletes features or changes something entirely, it isn't a reasonable and honest adjustment.

4. This photo is altered in a big way, because it took someone who wasn't affiliated with the original picture and cropped them into it.  It's an inaccurate display of information.



5) This photo is the least unethical of the ones on the post, because it didn't change an entire event like the one above it only altered a woman's appearance. The altercations can be seen as dishonest and personally i don't think they were necessary, but overall a minor adjustment.

Academic Shoot

Lines

I used lines in this picture.
The subject is back room and the papers in the drying rack.
I think it is clear what the subject is.


Simplicity

I used simplicity in this picture.
The subject is the painting on the blank wall.
I think its clear that it is the subject.

Rule of Thirds

I used rue of thirds in this picture.
The subject is Julianna against the garage door.
I think its clear that she is the subject.

Balance

I used balance in this picture.
The subject is the paint buckets.
I think its clear that the paint buckets are the subject.

Framing

I used framing in this picture.
The subject is the objects behind the raised desk.
i don't think its entirely clear what the subject is.
I could have gotten closer and focused more on one object.

Avoiding Mergers

I used avoiding mergers in this pictures.
the subject is the girl working at the table.
The subject is clear to me but i'm not sure if its clear to others.
i could have made more of a difference to the background of the girl to show extreme avoiding mergers.

Academic Shoot Preview

"Action and Emotion"

The action for this photo is not only the explosion from the experiment, but also the reaction to the explosion. The girls seem suprised and happy.

 "The Story"

This photo leaves the viewer either wondering what is happening in the picture but also lets people imagine what could be happening and make an explanation for themselves. For example, I could say the students are feeding the homeless or that they are hosting a golfing tournament.

"Filling the Frame"

I thought this picture was the most interesting because it isn't easily understood. I like the curiosity factor this picture comes with and how it fills the space with an interesting product.

QUESTIONS:

The picture is of the boy on the ground studying for what appears the SAT in his junior year.

1. I choose this photo because its relatable.

2.Evident rules include leading lines and balance.

I would have to go to classrooms with an interesting event.

The spanish classroom, hospitality, and art.

I would have to be patient and focused.

Four Best Posts

The Camera

"The Camera"
1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?
Inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.

2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
The modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
A glass lens, a dark box, and film. 

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film.

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
Digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.


"Camera Modes"
6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
Auto- The camera will completely control flash and exposure. On most cameras this is labelled "auto", on others simply "A".
Program- Automatic-assist, just point and shoot. Unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.

7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
Portrait is to attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.


"The Half Press"
9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?

This is an easy yet essential skill for beginners to learn. The "half-pressed" button is helpful in many ways, including:

• faster camera response time
• more control over focus
• encourages better composition

"Controlling Flash"
10. What does this symbol mean?

 When would you use this?
Disabled Flash 
no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.

11.What does this symbol mean?
When would you use this?
Auto-Flash
In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.


"Introduction to Exposure"
12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
If there is too much light and the picture will be washed out.

13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
Not enough light and the picture will look too dark.


"The Universal Stop"
14. What is a “stop.”
A stop is a relative measure of light.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two suns instead of one?
One.

16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four suns instead of two?
Two.


"Shutters and Aperture"

17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
A longer shutter speed allows more light.

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?

A shorter shutter speed allows less light.

19. What does the aperture control?

Before light reaches film, it must pass through an opening called an "Aperture".

20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?

The shutter blocks all light from exposing the film UNTIL you press the button. Then it quickly opens and closes, giving the film a brief flash of light.

You can control the length of time the shutter remains open by setting the SHUTTER SPEED.

Composition 9/11

Rule of Thirds

The picture shows rule of thirds because the main point or the place you eyes are drawn when first looking at the picture is off to the side to show the scenario in the picture. This picture shows and tells a story of the second plane seconds before it emerged into the second tower.
