Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

f/2.8


f/16


1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? Our eyes, more particularly our pupils. 
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture size, the higher the Aperture number.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? If you have a larger aperture, you have less in focus. When you have a small aperture, with a large number, more will be in focus. 

High Shutter Speed

Low Shutter Speed



1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree- 1/200
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings- 1/200
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym- 1/500-1/640(considering gym lightning)
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard- 1/500- 1/1000
e.) people streaming in from the front doors1/500
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop- 1/800

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree- 1/100
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings-1/100
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym- 1/640
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard- 1/400
e.) people streaming in from the front doors- 1/200
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop- 1/400

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.

The 3 settings are AV, TV, and M. 
AV- is where you manipulate just the ISO and the aperture. 
TV- is where you can change the shutter speed and the ISO.
Manual is where you have the ability to manipulate all 3 settings. 

ISO 200

ISO 3200



. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? You let more light in so you have the ability to shoot with a higher shutter speed. 
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? When there is plenty of light, use a lower ISO. 

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? When there is not enough light. But before you increase the ISO too much, think about the noise that will be created.

File Formats


1. Which file formats discussed have you used in the past?
I have used JPEG, PNG, and GIF
2. What is the difference between a Raster and a Vector file?
Raster-where the data describes the characteristics of each individual pixel. Vector- contain a geometric description which can be rendered smoothly at any desired display size.
At some point, vector files must be rastered to be displayed on digital monitors.
The most common file formats we will use in class are .jpeg, .tiff, .psd, and either .dng (Canon) or .nef (Nikon)

Look up each and answer the following questions for each:

1. Is this format lossy or lossless?

2. What are common uses for each? By this I mean where would I publish each of them for the highest quality.

3. Can you create this type of file in your camera?

.jpeg- lossy
most often used to display on the internet
nearly every digital camera can save images in the JPEG format.

.tiff- can be both lossy and lossless
not widely supported by the web. widely accepted as a photograph file in the printing business.
some cameras can save images in .tiff

.psd- lossy
can be exported to other Adobe apps to create dvds and backgrounds, textures, for tv, film, and the web, magazines
cannot be created within a camera

.dng- lossless raw image format

yes you can create this in your camera to produce raw format images
