Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

Aperture of F2.8


Aperture of F16+

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
Our pupils in our eyes

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture, the smaller the background blur is. The higher the Aperture, the more blurry the background is.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field
It can dramatically change how large a room or scene feels when tinkering with depth of field on aperture.


Taken at High Shutter Speed

Taken at Slow Shutter Speed



1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, 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
   Slow shutter speed

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings
   A medium shutter speed

c.) the Stars performance inside the gym
   Fast or medium shutter speed

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard
   Medium to fast shutter speed

e.) people streaming in from the front doors
   Slow shutter speed

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop
  Fast shutter speed
 
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

   Slow shutter speed for light

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings

   Slow shutter speed for light

c.) the Stars performance inside the gym

   Fast shutter speed for freeze effect

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard

   Slow shutter speed for blur and light

e.) people streaming in from the front doors

   Slow shutter speed for blur and light

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop

   Slow shutter speed for blur and light

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found by clicking on the hyperlink labeled: Camera Modes on the Shutter Speed website in the paragraph titled How to Set Shutter Speed). Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
   a. Program - Is automatically chosen by the camera based on the amount of light that passes through the lens. 
   b. Shutter Priority - can change the shutter speed manually, although aperture is automatically picked
   c. Manual - can change aperture, can also change shutter speed


Taken with ISO 200

Taken with ISO 6400

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
   Shooting at a higher ISO in a sporting event will prevent all of its motion blurs and help the photo not be as dark.

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
   To attempt to use it more often when the scene isn't as dark

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
   It is necessary to reduce the motion blur but it makes the photo appear 'grainy'.
