The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

F2.8

F16

1. Pupil 

2. the smaller the Aperture the bigger the number, the higher the Aperture the smaller the number.

3. the size of the aperture affects how much of the picture is clear

high shutter speed

slow shutter speed 

reasonable light

a) fast

b) medium

c) medium

d) medium

e) fast

f) fast

dark

a) medium
b) slow
c)medium
d) medium
e)medium
f) medium

Auto: both shutter speed and aperture is automatically set by the camera

Aperture Priority: shutter speed is set by camera and the aperture is set to your liking

Shutter Priority: aperture is set by camera and the shutter is set to your liking

200 iso

3200 iso

1. when taking pictures in the dark the iso should be high to quickly capture an image.

2. that you should always use the lowest iso when possible. when taking pictures with plenty of light, the iso should be at its lowest to have the most detailed and highest image quality.

3. that you should have a high iso when taking pictures in the dark to freeze motion and quickly capture the picture

• 1/125
• 1/60
• 1/60
• 1/60
• 1/30
• 1/30

The background get clearer with every increase in aperture.

It gets blurry, the photographer can in the shutter speed for the picture to look better.

i would say 1/30

I did good and now have a better understanding of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Mural Photos

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

The first thing that caught my eyes was the setting of both pictures. The setting of the first one that i picked reminded me so much of home town and the fact that the setting of picture is similar to where my family came from. The second picture really catches my eyes because the place seems so interesting and creative the way i sees it, it's a place of art.

I see beautiful constructed buildings

I smell the cool and fresh air

I hear people singing while boat riding foreign visitors in the river

I taste evaporated h2o from the river

I feel the wind rushing by my Asian skin

I would like to create a collection of photos from my great photographer to share my thoughts and ideas of this artist.

Africa and Mural Project

1. I thought the power point was very interesting with the animals of Africa.
2. 
   

             3. The slanted tree over a lion laying down.

                 This is my favorite because this can be an example of framing, how the tree's framing the lion.

             4. Framing is the evident rule in this picture, because the slanted tree is framing above the lion.

            5. 

     a. medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses.He uses a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses.

b.to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the                                                       hands of man.       

           

     c. he hopes for the animals to never vanished in the future.

     d. "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."

Mural Project:

1. I would use the theme blue and gold for my mural for Akins and the subjects would be the students of Akins doing their usual school activities.

2. It is worth devoting the time and effort over because if this project come out great then we have a story of Akins High through art. The other students would care about this theme because this art project is going to be about them.

3. The advantage of a phone camera is that we can take the photos without them knowing and get their             

natural image. The disadvantage is that the picture won't come out as great 

4.The advantages of using an SLR camera are that the pictures comes out great and clear. The disadvantages are that the subject won't be natural and that some students might feel uncomfortable and will face the opposite way of the camera

5.In my opinion i think that we should use the SLR camera because it makes clearer pictures in which will make a clearer story of Akins High.

Academic Shoot reflection

1. Trying to be in the right angle and finding a place that fits the rule.
2. Focus would be the one that i find myself struggling with, an example is that when taking a picture, we have to make sure that the picture is focused, it is focused depends on the distance between the subject and the camera
3. I would have use the flashed button to make the picture look better.
4. Not taking the picture straightly but a little slanted to the side, i believe that it makes the picture more interesting.
5. The easiest would have to be Framing.
6. The hardest would have to be Avoiding Mergers.
7. I am clear on the rules but if there is i would research it on the internet or ask the teacher.
