Lighting; Photography Foundations

What is the literal meaning of photography? "Photo" is Greek for "light." "Graph" is Greek for "writing" or "drawing." Together, it is drawing with lightWhat kind of light makes for soft light? post an example

What kind of light makes for hard light? post an example

What is contrast? Post an example

What does it mean to compensate for lighting? How do you compensate with a camera? Post an example of a picture where the light source is shown Change options to compensate for different lighting conditions in pictures. 

Define depth of field: post a photo of maximum depth of field, minimum (short) depth of fieldthe distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.

Sunny16 Notes

 Sunny 16 Rule: On a bright sunny, the correct exposure for a mid tone subject is F16 at the shutter speed nearest to the reciprocal of the film speed.

Equivalent Exposures: Different exposures, same light.

Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed Notes

Fundamentals of Photography

The Trinity of Photography

Aperture is an opening

The bigger the F number the smaller the opening.

The smaller the F number the bigger the opening.

The bigger the opening the blurrier the background appears

The smaller the opening, the sharper the focus in the background.

Aperture controls the amount of Depth of Field.

A shutter is like a curtain.


To stop the motion of somebody walking, the minimum shutter speed is 1/150

To stop the motion of somebody running, the minimum shutter speed is 1/250

Shutter speed controls the amount of motion blur in a photo.



ISO

ISO is a setting for your camera's sensitivity to light.

ISO adjusts the sensor in the camera that detects an image.

Rule of Thumb: use a low ISO when there is a lot of light.


When shooting with fast shutter speed, you will have to increase ISO if photos come out too dark.

When shooting at night, you will have to increase ISO for the sensor to pick up more light.
