^REALLY IMPORTANT, EH?
Exposure and Manual Shooting
Exposure
To correctly expose a photo is to manipulate your settings until the light in the photo is completely
balanced.
Under Exposed Over Exposed
PERFECT! :D
The Three Tenants of Exposure
ISO
Always set your ISO first. ISO controls how sensitive your camera is to
light.The lower the number, the less sensitive your
camera, and the darker your photo.
The lower the number, the less grain in your photo.
Grain increases as the number increases.
See the Grain?
Final Thoughts on ISO
Don’t use any ISO bigger than you need.If it is a sunny day, ISO 100 or 200 is great.If it’s dark or you’re indoors, you’re going to
have to crank that number up, possibly to 800 or 1600.
F-Stop
The lower your F-Stop number, the more light will be let into your camera.
Think about it like the pupil of your eye. The smaller the number, the wider the hole,
and the more light you have.
F-Stop and Depth of Field
F-Stop also controls something calledDepth of Field.
DOF is how far back your photo will be in focus. A wide F-Stop creates a small DOF,
and a small F-Stop extends it farther.
Shallow DOFF- 1.8
Extended DOFF- 22
Shutter Speed
Shutter Speed is measured in fractions
of a second.It controls how quickly
the shutter in your camera opens and
closes. The smaller the
fraction, the darker your photo.
Shutter Speed and Motion Blur
Shutter Speed is VERY important for things like Sports photography. The lower the fraction, (like 1/25) the more motion blur your photo will
have. This isn’t a problem if someone is standing still, but if someone is running for a touchdown, you need a higher fraction, like 1/200.
1/3 1/100 1/200
Quick Review
YOU’RE WELL ON YOUR WAY.
Thanks for coming!
