Camera Basics Quiz (Quiz Group B)

Created Blur

Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/60

I achieved this photo because I had to create a blur and that's what I did. 

Incorporate noise/grain

Aperture: f/ 5.6
ISO: 800
Shutter Speed: 1/2500

I achieved this photo because I was suppose to create a grainy photo and I created the grain.

Large Depth of Field

Aperture: f/ 32.0
ISO: 3200
Shutter Speed: 1/ 20

I achieved this photo because in order to take this photo you must have a high ISO so I set the ISO high.

Timer Selfie

Aperture: f/ 4.5
ISO: 1600
Shutter Speed: 1/60

There a lot of stuff you need to know about photography, what we learned was that there are a lot of different things we need to change the way you take a pictures. The main thing you need to know about is the exposure triangle it has to do with the main things about a photograph. And then there are switches on the camera which change how the photograph turns out, there are 5 main switches; programmed (P), time value (TV), aperture value (AV), auto depth of field (A-Dep), and manual (M).The first one is called programmed (P) which is when you point your camera at an object the camera will select the aperture and shutter speed for you, but it allows you to change the combination. Second is time value ((TV) shutter-priority auto exposure) you select the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed to expose the photo.Third is Av (( Aperture value) aperture-priority auto expsure) you select the aperture and the camera selects the shutter speed to expose the photo. Fourth is Auto depth of field which is the camera focuses on the main object and chooses the aperture for you so the object is a main focus. And last but not least M (manual) which the camera selects the shutter speed and aperture and it tells you if your object is on target.

What Is Composition?

    

         1.What is composition?
             
                 *Composition is the arrangement of visual elements within the frame of a photograph.  



         2. What is it important to understand & utilize composition in photography?

           
                  *The most important elements in photography are line, texture, shape, light, motion, and perspective. In virtually all photographs, several of these elements combine to achieve a specific effect.

          

         3. Describe aspects of a “snapshot”.

Understanding Shutter Speed

                

                                                           Fast Shutter Speed 

Iso: 1600
Aperture: f/ 5.6
Shutter Speed: 1/500


Slow Shutter Speed 

Iso:  800
Aperture: f/ 16.0
Shutter Speed: 1/15




What is shutter speed?
-Shutter Speed is the time for which a shutter is open at a given time.


How shutter speed works both technically (in camera) and visually (in photo)?
-In a camera it makes you able to take a picture of a fast moving object or thing.
- Visually in a photo it shows the fast moving object that you were trying to capture.

The relationship to the exposure triangle?
- shutter speed controls the duration of the exposure.
