Aperture


 F2.8
F16

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
The flowers are the focus of the photos.

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture is the more the subject is focused and the background is more blurred out, the higher the Aperture the less focused the subject is but is still clearly the subject of the photo, the background is also not blurred out.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
Aperture impacts the Depth of Field because depending on the level of Aperture will determine how focused or unfocused a photo will come out and how well the subject is displayed.


SHUTTER SPEED

High shutter speed


Slow shutter speed



  • a.) the dunking booth: Fast shutter speed
  • b.) the food eating contest: Slow shutter speed
  • c.) the rock climbing wall: Fast shutter speed
  • d.) someone working at a booth: Slow shutter speed
  • e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle: Medium shutter speed
  • f.) the Diamonds performance: Medium shutter speed

  • THREE SETTINGS
    Aperture Priority: Setting the Aperture lens, shutter speed automatically sets
    Shutter Priority: Setting shutter speed, aperture lens automatically sets
    Manual: Setting both shutter speed and aperture lens

    ISO
    1. What are the advantages of shooting with a higher ISO setting at a sporting event like a night football game?
     The advantages with shooting with a higher ISO setting at a sporting event will help capture the images by freezing them in action.

    2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
    To use the lowest ISO whenever possible and always use the lowest when there is a lot of light so that you will capture a clear image.

    3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
    To use it when there isn't enough light and to freeze motion.

    F-STOPS

  • F4 - Looks best at 1/125th, blurry,  subjects are bright
  • F5.6 - Looks best at 1/60th, blurry, subjects get brighter
  • F8 - Looks best at 1/125th, a little focused 
  • F11 - Looks best at 1/60th, focused
  • F16  - Looks best at 1/30th, focused
  • F22 - Looks best at 1/8th, focused but the subjects are a little blurry 
  • The slowest shutter speed a photographer can have while holding the camera is 1/4th of a second. 

    TESTS
    I did pretty well on the tests, passed both. Yes I understand aperture, shutter speed and ISO better now.
