Read and Respond 7-- Apature Priority Mode and Shutter Priority Mode

1. Depending on the camera change the dial to "A" or "AV". The photographer controls mostly the depth of field depending on weather they want a short or long depth of field. The camera controls the shutter speed adjusting to your shooting conditions. This setting is really useful to capture a close up subject in focus. 

2. To use shutter priority mode switch the dial on your camera to either "Tv" or "s" depending on the camera. The photographer controls the shutter speed. The camera controls the apature for you. A photographer should use this setting when you want to control the movement of your subject. 

3. According to the article, most times its best to bracket your shots and shoot many images of the same subject at different settings. This is going to make sure that you get at least one good shot. This also allows you to gain experience and get practice.

After watching this video I learned a lot of very useful tips to create better photos using shutter speeds. Shutter speeds are measured in fractions of seconds and the bigger the number the slower the speed. The difference is so different in the photo but sounds no different to your ear. Slow shutter speeds are very useful when you don't have a lot of light. They're also useful for capturing movement and help to tell a story. Fast shutter speeds are good for things like sports and when you want to freeze motion. A good way to experiment with shutter speed is to use shutter priority exposure mode. This way the camera does the thinking for you and allows you to play around but still get a good exposure. The longer the lens the longer your shutter should be. The faster your subject is moving and the closer it is to your camera the faster your shutter speed should be. The longer your shutter speed is simply means the longer the shutter is open. 

Photo Mission 2-- Depth of field

changing aperture and depth of field 

Photo 1 

Aperture set at f/4.5, shutter speed set at 1/1000 , and ISO 400

Photo 2
Aperture set at f/8, shutter speed set at 1/200, and ISO 400

Photo 3
Aperture set at f/22, shutter speed set at 1/50, and ISO 400

I realize this didn't exactly work the way it was suppose to but the setting were all correct.

Shutter speed: fast freezes--- slow shows

Shutter speed is all about capturing motion. To show movement you use a slow shutter speed which will capture the motion and blur it. If your subject is moving and you want to freeze the motion you use a fast shutter speed. The faster something moves the faster your shutter speed must be to freeze it. I think this phrase is very catchy and useful because it is so straight forward and tells you how to show motion in different situations. 

Read and Respond 4--Predicting aperture

I think for photo A the apature is probably somewhere from 16-22 giving it a short depth of field and making the entire depth of field. For photo B I think the photographer used an apature of about 2.8-5 giving him a long depth of field making the background blurry. For both images he probably used an ISO of about 100-200 because it's a bright sunny lit photo. You would need a fast shutter speed for photo A because the whole photo is in focus you need that shutter speed to make it crisp. 

I think which Image is better depends on weather you want a pretty picture (B) or a picture of a ride for information at a carnival (A). For my personal preference I like photo B I think the blurred background is really aesthetic. 

Understanding Apertures and Depth of Field

1. Depth of field is simply the zone of sharp focus. 

2. Apature is how big the opening of your camera lense is. 

3. An apature of f/1.8 will create the shallowest depth of field for this image. An apature of f/22 will make the whole image in focus. 

4. Stop down means to close the apature to f/22 which will make everything in the picture sharp. 

5. To make all three people sharp you must set your camera to an apature of f/22. 

6. As you stop down your shutter speed get slower. 

7. To control your apature you set your camera to Av or apature priority. 

8. A fast lens is a lens with a maximum apature opening. 

9. The apature is an opening controlled by an auto single lense focus.
