  1. Aperture & Shutter Speed

  2. STEP 1 - LEARN • In this lesson, you will learn about using aperture and shutter speed while taking photos.

  3. APERTURE • Size of the shutter hole • Also called f-stop (example: f/3.5) • Allows more or less light in • Controls Depth of Field (Background Blur) Image courtesy of suphakit73 / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

  4. APERTURE • The larger the opening of the aperture, the smaller the number set on your camera. • Setting your DSLR to the AV setting allows you to control aperture while the camera auto sets the others. • Larger apertures (smaller numbers) allow for a smaller depth of field, limiting the objects in focus. f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6

  5. APERTURE This photo was taken with a large aperture. Jesus Chavez, Monache High School [CA]

  6. APERTURE This photo was taken with a small aperture. Parker Pamplin, Bryant High School [AR]

  7. SHUTTER SPEED • How long the shutter stays open • Measured in 1/x of a second • Faster: Stop Action (Sports), less light • Slower: more light, blur • The bigger the denominator, the faster the speed (ie: 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30)

  8. SHUTTER SPEED This photo was taken with a slow shutter speed. Becca Guevera, Horizon High School [AZ]

  9. SHUTTER SPEED This photo was taken with a fast shutter speed. Amanda Pankhurst, Amboy High School [IL]

  10. SHUTTER SPEED • Setting your camera to the TV mode allows you to control the shutter speed while the camera auto sets the other controls.

  11. STEP 2 - PRACTICE • By the end of class today, take two photos that demonstrate thought and understanding of aperture and shutter speed.

  12. PRACTICE: APERTURE & SHUTTER SPEED • Photo 1: Change the aperture (f/stop) settings on the camera and take a photo that demonstrates shallow depth of field. • Photo 2: Change the shutter speed (1/X) settings on the camera to capture a subject in action. • Don’t forget to use photo composition techniques like Rule of Thirds, bird’s/worm’s-eye view, etc!

  13. STEP 3 - DO • Over the course of the next week, take four photos, to be used in the yearbook, that demonstrate your understanding of aperture and shutter speed.

  14. APERTURE & SHUTTER SPEED • Photos 1 & 2: Each must demonstrate the use of aperture to make the Center of Visual Interest (CVI) stand out. • Photos 3 & 4: Each photo must demonstrate the use of shutter speed to stop a subject in motion. • Write down the aperture/shutter speed you used for each photo and create a caption for each that includes the setting. • Submit your photos electronically using PowerPoint, Prezi or Google Slides.
