In Three Parts Exposure
Know • What exposure is • What affects exposure • Show • Define Exposure • Identify an over, under, and perfectly exposed photo • Use exposure compensation to purposely over and under expose an image • Level of Thinking • Understand/Apply Objective
But first… A Quick Review
Which of the PSAM modes would you use if motion was most important in your picture? Question 1
Name the six examples of “Scene” modes. Question 2
What are the two exposure modes used for simple, point and shoot photography? Question 3
Which of the P, S, A, M modes would you use if Depth of Field (DoF) in your photograph is most important? Question 4
Which of the P, S, A, M modes would you use if you want full control over all the settings? Question 5
The important components of any camera are: • Box (light-tight)
The important components of any camera are: • Box (light-tight) • Hole or Lens (to let the light in)
The important components of any camera are: • Box (light-tight) • Hole or Lens (to let light in) • Shutter (to open and close to let light in at the right time)
The important components of any camera are: • Box (light-tight) • Hole or Lens (to let light in) • Shutter (to open and close to let light in at the right time) • Film / Sensor (records the light)
Three things affect how much light comes into the camera: • Aperture (opening that lets the light in) • Shutter (how long the light comes in for) • ISO (how much light is needed to make the picture) • Your camera uses a light meter to measure the light coming in, and sets the aperture, shutter, and ISO so the image will be properly exposed. Measuring Light
Get just the right amount of light, and the image is “properly exposed.”
Exposure = Total amount of light which hits the film Film and sensors require the right amount of light to produce a ‘correct’ exposure. The settings will be different depending on what you are taking a picture of.
Controlling Exposure Try it Out
You can purposely under or over expose a picture on your camera using Exposure Compensation. • Use the exposure compensation controls on the compact cameras to take the same picture five times: • -2 stops • -1 stop • “properly exposed” (according to camera) • +1 stop (over exposed) • +2 stops • Repeat this for FIVE different setups Try it Out
Three settings need to be considered when taking a photo: • ISO • Aperture • Shutter Speed • All three affect the amount of light that reaches the sensor, and how much is needed to get a proper exposure Three Parts
“International Standards Organization” • Controls how sensitive the sensor is to light • The more sensitive it is, the less light it needs to take the picture • CATCH: A high ISO causes grain in film photography, now it causes NOISE in digital photography ISO
Size of the opening in the lens • How MUCH light comes in at once Aperture
Do big holes (apertures) let in more or less light ? Aperture
F22 f16 f11 f8 f5.6 f4 f2.8 What do you notice about the f number as the aperture gets bigger? Aperture
Each aperture is twice as big (or half the size) as the aperture next to it. QUESTION:an f8 aperture lets in twice as much light as f___ and half as much light as f ___
Aperture affects the DoF in an image • The bigger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field • Think about the aperture setting as being how much of the image is in focus • For instance: f/4, 4 feet in focus versus f/32, 32 feet in focus. Bigger number, more in focus. Depth of Field (DoF)
How long (or short) the shutter is open • How LONG the light comes in for Shutter Speed
Changeshow long the camera lets light hit the sensor A whole number of seconds … 1 second … 2 seconds … 3seconds Or a fraction of a second ½ second … ¼ second …. 1/8 …. 1/15 etc Shutter Speed
Shutter speeds are usually given as a fraction of a second and each shutter speed on a camera is normally about twice as long, or half as longas the next shutter speed. Work out the missing shutter speeds in this list: ½ ¼ ___ 1/15 1/30 ___ 1/125 ___ ___ ___
The shutter speed controls how motion looks in a picture. • The longer the shutter speed, the more blurred the motion will be. SS & Motion
The ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed work together to create a properly exposed image that looks the way you want it to. Altogether
