  2. Types of Cameras

  3. COMPOSITION

  4. Unit 2: The Camera as Tool COMPOSITION

  5. DVD 2: Elements of Exposure: The Camera: F-Stops & Shutter Speeds

  6. “You don’t take a photograph you make it” - AnselAdams • “ The camera always points both ways. In expressing your subject, you also express yourself.” - Freeman Patterson • “A work of art is not a matter of thinking beautiful thoughts or experiencing tender emotions (though those are its raw materials), but of intelligence, skill, taste, proportion, knowledge, discipline and industry; especially discipline.“ - Evelyn Waugh

  7. Exposure • What does the word exposure refer to?

  8. Demonstrate how to use the 35mm camera (Note: Be sure to hold the camera so everyone can see it.) • Explain what a camera is and how it works • Illustrate on the board or with a handout how light travels through the lens • Show the sample film, contact sheet, and prints as you describe the process of making the final print • Pass out the cameras and a handout explaining basic camera parts • Show how to hold the camera, use the strap, and be careful not to knock the lens • Go through the handout to show the parts of the camera and how they work together

  9. 3 Things Control Exposure • Aperture/ F-stop • Shutter speed • Film Speed

  10. Definitions • Aperture/ F-stop:

  11. Definitions • Shutter speed.

  12. Definitions • Film Speed

  13. F‐STOPS AND SHUTTER SPEEDS,WORK TOGETHER TO CONTROL THE • AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT REACHES AN ELECTRONIC SENSOR THAT IS • BUILT INTO YOUR CAMERA. • F‐STOPS: • What are F‐stops and what do they control? • .     • F‐stops are expressed in whole numbers / fractions (circle one). • The “f” stands for the         of the lens in a • fraction.   • The smaller the f‐number: • • the smaller/bigger the aperture • • the greater/less depth of field.     • The bigger the f‐number: • • the smaller/bigger the aperture     • • the greater/less depth of field.     • .

  14. SHUTTER SPEEDS: • The shutter is a device which limits how long, in time, light can strike • the light sensitive CCD • Shutter speeds are expressed in   • whole numbers / fractions (circle one). • What range of shutter speeds are possible? • RECIPROCITY: • F‐stops and shutter speeds are very important concepts of • photography that always work together • If you cut down on the amount of light by changing the f‐stop to a • smaller aperture you have to compensate by   •         the amount of light   • by changing to a          shutter speed. • .

  15. DEFINE THESE KEY TERMS: • Stop:   • There is one stop difference between: • • f/             and f/        • • 1/            and 1/             of a second • • ISOs               and           • Depth of Field:   • .

  16. Review Questions • REVIEW QUESTIONS • 1. F‐stops & shutter speeds control what? • a. Sensor speed   • b. Focal length of the lens • c. The number of images you can take • d. The amount of light that reaches the sensor or • film.  

  17. Review Questions • 2. The larger the f‐stop number? • a. The smaller the aperture   • b. The larger the aperture • c. The faster the shutter speed • d. Don't Know

  18. Review Questions • 3. The shutter is? • a. A menu setup item. • b. A device which limits how long, in time, light can • enter the camera.   • c. A device that allows you to zoom into a subject. • d. Don't Know

  19. How a simple camera works. • How to determine correct exposure. • How f/stops affect exposure. • How shutter speeds affect exposure. • What are the important parts of a camera which are essential to all cameras? • What are the modes of operation of the modern camera? • Students will be able to… • -List the basic essential parts of a camera and explain. • -Name 3 types of cameras and explain their differences. • Explain the most common cause of blurry pictures. • Demonstrate how to properly use the digital camera to obtain an image. • Demonstrate how to download an image from the digital camera to the computer.

  20. Students will be able to… • How film works. : Explain how images are recorded onto digital film. • Students will discuss the differences between fast speed film and slow speed film. Their advantages and disadvantages will be discussed in terms of when one might be used over the other. • Students will explain what is meant by contrast and density.
