    PHOTOGRAPHY

    FUNDAMENTALS

    Presented by

    ALEXANDRA
    COPLEY
    “The important thing is not the
    camera but the eye.” – Alfred
    Eisenstaed
    DIGITAL DIGITAL
    POINT &
    SLR SHOOT
    CAMERA CAMERA
    WHAT IS AN SLR?

    ●SLR - Single Lens Reflex - The camera has a


    viewfinder that sees through the lens by way of a 45°-
    angled mirror that flips up when the shutter fires and
    allows the light to strike the image sensor (or film).
    CAMERA MENU FUNCTIONS
    WHICH ONE?
    CREATIVE SCENE
    MODES MODES
    PROGRAM
    CHARACTERISTICS OF PROGRAM MODE

    ●Aperture and shutter speed are set by the camera, but can be
    shifted using the control dial, with the exposure staying the same
    ●Unlocks some other settings in your camera that gives you
    more control over the final image : ISO setting, white balance,
    exposure compensation
    ●Great for quickly getting a photograph without having to think
    too hard about settings
    TV-SHUTTER PRIORITY
    CHARACTERISTICS OF TV MODE
    ● TV means time value
    ●Shutter priority: set the shutter speed and calculates the
    matching aperture
    ●To photograph moving subjects (sporting action). A faster
    shutter speed will freeze the motion
    ●To capture movement as a blur of a waterfall, choose a slower
    shutter speed
    AV-APERTURE PRIORITY
    CHARACTERISTICS OF AV MODE

    ●AV means aperture value


    ●Manually control the aperture while the camera sets the
    matching shutter speed
    ●Particularly useful to control a stationary object where you
    don’t need to control the shutter speed
    ●Choosing a larger aperture (f/stop) means the lens will get
    smaller and it will let less light in so a larger depth of field
    (more of the area in focus), but your camera will choose a
    faster shutter speed and vice versa
    MANUAL
    CHARACTERISTICS OF MANUAL
    MODE

    ●Full control over camera settings such: shutter speed, aperture,


    ISO, white balance and exposure compensation
    ●Gives you the flexibility to set your shots the way you want them
    to be
    ●Can result in creative and non-traditional exposures
    PORTRAIT MODE
    CHARACTERISTICS OF PORTRAIT MODE

    ●An automatic mode with emphasis on settings for a perfect


    portrait shot.
    ●The ability of the camera to detect if there are faces in the
    image and to ensure they are all in focus
    ●Sets a wide aperture of the lens so that the background behind
    your subject is softly focused (shallow depth of field)
    LANDSCAPE MODE
    CHARACTERISTICS OF LANDSCAPE
    MODE

    ●Narrows the aperture, so both the subject and background


    stay sharp (deep depth of field)
    ●Foreground, middle ground, and background are all in focus
    ●Exposure compensation for entire frame
    MACRO/CLOSE-UP MODE
    CHARACTERISTICS OF MACRO MODE

    ●An automatic mode with emphasis on settings for close-up


    photography
    ●Commonly used to photographing flowers, insects and other
    small items
    ●Somecameras may be able to focus when the lens is less than
    an inch away from the subject
    ●Creates a very shallow depth of field
    SPORTS MODE
    CHARACTERISTICS OF ACTION/SPORTS
    MODE

    ●Represented by an icon of a sprinter, this is perfect for taking


    pictures of moving objects
    ●Also good for shooting children or pets in action
    ●Can give you higher shutter speeds to stop action, along with
    a smaller aperture so that more of the action will be in focus
    NIGHT PORTRAIT MODE
    CHARACTERISTICS OF NIGHT PORTRAIT
    MODE

    ●Usually symbolized by a figure against a dark sky with a star


    ●Fires the flash to illuminate a nearby subject and then holds the
    shutter open long enough for the background to be exposed
    FLASH
    LOOK IN THE TOOLS SET FOR FLASH
    INFORMATION
    CHARACTERISTICS OF FLASH MODE

    ● Auto- Flash Off


    ●Flash On (mandatory flash, useful for filling in shadows when
    shooting in daylight)
    ●Auto + Red-eye reduction-
    ●Flash On + Red-eye reduction
    ●Soft Flash (Diffused flash)
    ●Slow-sync flash (Second-curtain flash)
    USE THE FLASH TO STOP
    MOTION
    OR TO ILLUMINATE DARK AREAS
    SLOW SYNC FLASH

    *note if your camera does not have


    the slow sync flash option use the
    night portrait setting
    DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE A GOOD
    PHOTOGRAPH

    ●Control exposure
    ●Aperture
    ●Shutter speed
    ●ISO
    EXPOSURE TRIANGLE
    UNDERSTANDING EXPOSURE
    ●THE WINDOW EXAMPLE
    ●Imagine your camera is like a window with shutters that open and close.
    ●Aperture is the size of the window. If it’s bigger more light gets through and the
    room is brighter.
    ●Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the shutters of the window are open. The
    longer you leave them open the more that comes in.
    ●Now imagine that you’re inside the room and are wearing sunglasses. Your eyes
    become desensitized to the light that comes in (it’s like a low ISO)
    ●.There are a number of ways of increasing the amount of light in the room (You
    could increase the time that the shutters are open (decrease shutter speed), you
    could increase the size of the window (increase aperture) or you could take off your
    sunglasses (make the ISO larger)
    APERTURE

    ●The aperture of a lens is the diameter of the lens opening


    ●The larger the diameter of the aperture, the more light reaches
    the film / image sensor
    ●Aperture is expressed as F-stop, e.g. F2.8 or f/2.8
    ●The smaller the F-stop number (or f/value), the larger the lens
    opening (aperture) (inverse relationship)
    ●Controls depth of field
    APERTURE
    F-STOPS
    Please refrain
    from taking
    such a boring
    image
    IS THIS SHALLOW D.O.F?
    IS THIS?
    SHALLOW OR DEEP D.O.F.?
    Depth of Field EXERCISE
    ●Pick a partner
    ●Stand away from your partner
    ●Take a photograph of their face only with your lens unzoomed
    ● Zoom in and shoot but only fill the frame with their entire face
    again
    ●See the difference in depth of field
    SHUTTER SPEED
    SHUTTER SPEED

    ●Shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open


    ●Shutter speed is measured in seconds – or in most cases
    fractions of seconds
    ●It is not in isolation from the other two elements of the Exposure
    Triangle (aperture and ISO)
    ●Long shutter causes blur and fast shutter freezes motion
    Shutter speed is used to stop action
    1/1000 sec
    Or shutter speed can blur motion
    1/15 sec
    FAST OR SLOW SHUTTER
    SPEED?
    FAST OR SLOW?
    SHUTTER SPEED EXERCISE

    ●Everyone pick a partner


    ●Step outside the classroom
    ●Capture an image of action (jumping, spinning, etc.)
    ●Stop the action with a fast shutter speed
    ●Blur the action with a slow shutter speed
    ISO SETTINGS

    ●ISO speed ﾐ A rating of a film's sensitivity to light. Though


    digital cameras don't use film, they have adopted the same
    rating system for describing the sensitivity of the camera's
    imaging sensor. Digital cameras often include a control for
    adjusting the ISO speed; some will adjust it automatically
    depending on the lighting conditions, adjusting it upwards
    as the available light dims. Generally, as ISO speed
    climbs, image quality drops.
    ISO SETTINGS
    Characteristics of ISO

    ● Low light conditions use higher ISO


    ●Action shots use a higher ISO
    ●Keep ISO lower in bright light
    ●The higher the ISO number the more noise is generated in your
    photograph
    ●When you enlarge your image you can see the noise
    Using ISO 1600 to capture a night scene
