Camera Modes

Automatic Mode: Camera will do the work for you (set shutter speed, aperture, ect.)

Portrait Mode: Works best when you’re photographing a single subject (larger aperture).

Macro Mode:  Move your camera closer into your subject to take a close up picture.

Landscape Mode: Capturing shots of wide scenes, different distances from the camera.

Sports Mode: Any moving object.

Night Mode: Shooting in low light situations and sets your camera to use a longer shutter speed.

Movie Mode: Capturing still images to capturing moving ones.

Aperture Priority Mode (A/AV): Select aperture camera does rest for you.

Shutter Priority Mode (S or TV): Select shutter speed, camera then controls everything,

Program Mode (P): Similar to auto but gives you more control of other features (white balance, ISO, flash, ect.)

Manual Mode: Full control of the camera.

Depth of Field

Depth of field is the separation between objects in a scene that appears sharp in a photograph. To get a narrow aperture you would want to use a smaller aperture. Your shutter speed would also be slower. It will increase the depth of field in close-up shots.

To get a wide aperture would use a bigger aperture. This will allow more light to come in and create the blur in the background from the focus. The more light there is the faster the shutter speed will allow you to use the freeze or stop camera. It will isolate your object. The background will be blurred.

Framing

Exposure: 1/50 f/8 ISO 1600 Manual; Pattern metering

Exposure: 1/250 sec  f/5.6  ISO 3200 Manual; Pattern metering

  1. I think my photos do have strong composition because the subject is fully focused and in frame
  2. I edited my photos so they all have a different vibe to go off.
  3. I would try to focus on the person more so you can have a clearer view of them.
  4. I think my photo does belong on the blog because the way the framing is on for the second photo, but I don’t believe its one of the best photos of all the classes

All about me collage

In mine collage I added my favorite music, food, and shows. Music is one of the things I love and can not live without, so I added some of my favorite albums and artist like Steve Lacy and Lamp. Spotify is the app I use to listen to my music and without it I would probably die. I added a couple of my favorite movies/shows, these are the ones I watch the most whenever I’m bored. My favorite food I sushi and my whole personality is based on it Without sushi I would be a completely different person.

Although these things don’t make me into the person I am, they do with my personality like the little sack boy that is all mad.

How to use a DSLR Camera

  1. DSLR means Digital Single Lens Reflex
  2. It resembles a 35mm film camera
  3. They have detachable lenses
  4. Prime lens are only used for one focal length​
  5. Zoom lenses are used for  variable focal length
  6. 21 mm= extreme wide angle
  7. 21-35mm= wide angle
  8. 35-70= normal
  9. 70-135= medium telephoto
  10. 135-300+mm= telephoto
  11. Zoom and focus are 2 different things
  12. ISO= number that describes film’s sensitivity to light​
  13. High ISO value means the sensor will be more sensitive to light, meaning it will take less light to get the right exposure
  14. more available light = lower ISO​
  15. less available light = higher ISO​
  16. Use the lowest ISO you can to avoid grain/noise​
  17. ​Shutter speed is how long the shutter is open
  18. The faster the action is you want a hight shutter speed
  19. Tripods are used when shutter speed is less than 1/ of a second
  20. Aperture also known as f-stop (fraction) is the focal length divided by lens diameter​
  21.  Smaller number actually represents a larger opening
  22. Full Auto (green rectangle)– camera set in the right mode for you​
  23. Av (Aperture priority) – you choose aperture, camera chooses appropriate shutter speed​
  24. M (Manual) – you choose EVERYTHING​
  25. CA (Creative Auto) – camera does almost everything lets you choose brightness, depth of field, picture style
