Basic vocabulary • Photography- Photography comes from the Greek and mean “to paint/draw with light”. • Aperture- Aperture is the Lens opening that allows less or more light onto the sensor. • Shutter speed- The rate at which the shutter opens and closes. • Composition- The putting together of pieces to make a whole. It is all the elements contained in a single image.
Aperture Aperture is the Lens opening that allows less or more light onto the sensor. This is an example of a very wide aperture. We can clearly see that the subject is in focus however the background is blurry. This is an example of a narrow aperture. We can clearly see that the picture is in focus.
Shutter Speed The rate at which the shutter opens and closes. This is an example of a very slow shutter speed (with the same aperture than the previous one). We can clearly see that most of the picture is blurry (except if you put your camera on a trypod)and that the picture is really white because it let a lot of light to go in the camera. This is an example of a very fast shutter speed. We can clearly see that nothing is really blurry and that there is not a lot of light.
Camera Setting A DSLR camera has many mode. The basic ones are: • Auto- Auto mode is represented with a green box. This mode sets everything for you. • Macro- Macro mode is represented with a little flower. This mode helps you to get a very wide aperture. • Landscape- Landscape is represented with a little mountain symbol. This mode helps you to take very wide shots by using a very narrow aperture. • Portrait- Portrait mode is represented with a little face. This mode helps you to take a pictures of a single subject using a wide aperture. • Sport- Sport mode is represented with a guy running. This mode helps you to take action shots using a very fast shutter speed.
Camera Setting Part II • Night- Night mode is represented with a star. This mode helps you to take pictures in low-light situation using a very slow shutter speed. • Manual- Manual mode is represented with a “M”. This mode helps you to change everything (opposite of Auto mode). • Shutter speed- Shutter speed mode is represented with a “S”. This mode let you change the shutter speed and would make the aperture perfect for it by itself. • Aperture- Aperture mode is represented with a “A”. This mode let you change the aperture and would make the shutter speed perfect for it by itself.
Composition A good composition is created with a good lighting, the subject is in focus but it must not be less than 1/3 of the picture but not more than 2/3, except for a portrait. Good composition. Bad composition.
Perspective/ISO • Perspective- Perspective is the way you look at something. • Force Perspective- Force perspective is when your forcing the person watching the picture to see something that you want her to see. • ISO- (International Standards Organization) The speed or light sensitivity of a captured image is rated by ISO numberssuch as 100, 400, 800 etc. The higher the number, the more sensitive to light it is.
Shadow/Direction Shadow Direction • Shadows are created from light-they are the dramatic result of obscured or blocked directional light. • Shadows help indicate the direction of light as well as give the image a 3-dimensional look, making it more realistic. • Shadows are created from light-they are the dramatic result of obscured or blocked directional light. • Shadows help indicate the direction of light as well as give the image a 3-dimensional look, making it more realistic.
Intensity Soft lighting Hard lighting • Soft lighting diffuses shadows and creates subtle variations of texture • Mid-tone shadows • Low contrast • Low color saturation • Flattens or hides surface texture • Hard lighting is focused and gives crisp, distinctive and dark shadows • Emphasizes surface texture • High contrast • High color saturation • Dark shadows
Soft lighting Hard lighting
Picture in B/W • In a B/W picture the important stuff that you need to see are: • Texture • Really white spot • Really dark spot • You can see all of these important part of a B/W picture in the image shown on the right. Really dark spot Really white spot Texture
