Rules of Photography Part 2

The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

Aperture

f2.8 

f16

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

We should closely relate to the face.

2. Finish the sentence- The smaller the aperture the larger the f number, the higher the aperture the smaller the f number.

Shutter Speed

High Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which was earlier this month, what shutter speeds (slow, medium, fast)  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 is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light

• At the dunking booth: Fast shutter speed
• The food eating contest: Medium shutter speed
• The rock climbing wall: Slow shutter speed
• Someone working at a booth: Medium shutter speed
• The DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle: Medium shutter speed
• The Diamonds performance: Fast shutter speed

Towards the end when there is no sun and it is dark so there is not enough light to see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

• At the dunking booth: Slow shutter speed
• The food eating contest: Medium shutter speed
• The rocking climbing wall: Medium shutter speed
• Someone working at a booth: Medium shutter speed
• The DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle: Medium shutter speed
• The Diamonds performance: Slow shutter speed

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.

Aperture Priority- The camera set the shutter speed automatically.

Shutter Priority- The camera sets the aperture and the manually select the shutter speed

Manual- Set shutter speed and aperture

ISO

                                               Low ISO                                     High ISO

1. What are the advantages of shooting with a high ISO setting at a sporting event like at a night football game?
