Exposure Settings

Aperture settings defined enable photographers to....

• aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor.

• One of the three most important settings in photography is Shutter Speed, the other two being Aperture and ISO.

• A camera takes a photograph by exposing a digital sensor (or a piece of film) to light.

Shutter Speeds and Aperture settings

• Allows a photographer to expose digital sensors to choose correct settings.

• Shutter speed is the length of time camera shutter is open, exposing light onto the camera sensor. Aperture can be defined as the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera.

• Exposure is not a unit of measurement for the total amount of light permitted to reach the electronic sensor during the process of taking a photograph

Choose the most important factors in photography

• The two main controls your digital camera uses to control exposure are the shutter speed and aperture.

• If photography is about capturing light, then you decide exposures are not important to create images.

• Photography is not a form of art, and as such, there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to achieving a proper exposure

Aperture is measured in?

• Aperture is measured in f-stops.

• Both A and C.

• Aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor.

What is the largest aperture size?

• F-22

• F-5.6

• F- 2.8

The definition of depth of field?

• Depth of field in photography refers to how much of the area in an image appears to be in sharp or acceptable focus.

• Depth of field in an image will usually be described as sharpest or shallow.

• None of the Above

• Both A nd B

What is the distance from background to subject?

• Forty degrees angle

• Ten to Twenty one inches

• Twenty four to Thirty six inches

A three-legged support....

• A tripod used to create balanced photos and enable photographers to view the scene prior to taking a picture.

• Trifold used to steady the camera

• A mono-pod to hold up backgrounds to take a photo.

Depth of Field (DoF)

• Help you focus on your subject.

• This zone will not vary from photo to photo. Some images may have very small zones of focus which is called shallow depth of fie

• The zone of acceptable sharpness within a photo that will appear in focus. In every picture there is a certain area of your image in front of, and behind the subject that will appear in focus.

Understanding ISO in photography...

• In Digital Photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor.

• Help in choosing a higher ISO you can use a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement.
