The Process • The Exposure - Camera and Lens • Developing - Dark Room or PS… • Printing – Darkroom or InkJet
The Exposure • Camera Modes • Auto, Manual, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority ( A, M, Tv, Av,) • What Makes an Exposure: • Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed
Aperture • A value given to the size of the opening relative to the focal length.
Wide Open Shallow Depth of Field Optical aberrations More Light Closed Down Large Depth of Field Diffraction Less Light Aperture Effects
Shutter Speed • Focal Plane Shutter • Slow speeds give more light • Fast speeds less light • 1/focal length
ISO • Equivalent to Film Speed, grain size • ISO from 50 or 100 upwards • Low ISO- less sensitive to light low noise • High ISO- more sensitive to light high noise
Focusing/Drive • Servo/Single, Live view vs viewfinder • Macro Focusing • Autofocusing
The Exposure • Goals: • Set up Depth of Field, Shutter Speed, Exposure • RAW FILES not JPEGS • Focusing Manual vs Auto
Sensor • Sensor Sizes: Medium Format, 35mm, Crop, Point and Shoot. • Focal Length Conversions • Advantages to crop/full frame
Histogram • Histogram
Developing • Misconceptions - Real Vs. Edited • Capture One, PS, Elements, Lightroom, DXO • Main Adjustments: White Balance, Exposure, HSL, Sharpening, Contrast • What’s your end goal?
Online Postings • Screens have low resolutions. • CROP • End Result
Printing • Resolution depends on size, distance. • More Megapixels, the larger the print. • Printers at least 240 ppi, upsampling at most 10-15% • Proofing / Brightness and Sharpening • CMYK/RGB
Wildlife Photography • Birds • Macro • Landscapes
Birds • Special Equipment: Crop Sensor Better • Telephoto Lens at least 200mm better range is 300-500mm • Fast Shutter Speed, Wide Aperture • Autofocus • Monopod
Macro • True Macro 1:1 • Ways to shoot: 1:3 and Crop, Wide angle at close focus, macro lens, reverse lenses, extension tubes etc. • More magnification- more light loss, less DOF • Flash is very important/ Diffusor
Landscape • HDR • Tri Pod, remote control • Wide Angle, Full frame advantage • Hyperfocal length
Tips • Know Your Subject • Go Explore • Be Careful • Patience/Perseverance • You will be uncomfortable
