*Photography is the act of capturing light
* light rays entering the camera create an image on film
by chemically changing the silver particles in the films emulsion.

* or, in digital cameras, the light creates an image on

digital sensors.

*
* Exposure is making sure the proper amount of light reaches
the camera sensor to take a photo.

* Too much light results in an over-exposed photo. * Too little light results in an under exposed photo.

*
*There are 3 camera settings that control the exposure
(lets watch a short video explaining these 3 settings)

* Aperture: The aperture controls the size of the

diaphragm over the shutter.

* Shutterspeed: Controls how fast the shutter

closes to take the picture.

* ISO: Controls the sensitivity of the sensor to light

*
* The larger the number the smaller the size of the
diaphragm in the lens.

*
* The faster the shutter,
* the less light enters the camera

* The slower the shutter

* the more light will enter the camera.

Low light
Blurred Objects

A lot of light
frozen, crisp objects

Really slow shutter speeds start looking like this: 1 or 2.3 This means 1 second and 2.3 seconds

Get a piece of scrap paper from the recycling

Lets figure out a good exposure for this image.

Shutter Speed: 1.6 sec.

Aperture: f22

And how about this image.

LETS PRACTICE!

* Will control the sensitivity of the sensor to light

Less Sensitive to light

More Sensitive to light

*
* Will control the sensitivity of the sensor to light. * This effects the shutter and aperture to be used.WHY?

*
* Set the shutter speed dial to the desired
shutter speed.

* Depress the shutter release button

halfway as you look through the viewfinder.

* The shutter speed, approximate aperture

and bar graph will be displayed in the viewfinder

* Turn the shutter speed dial or the lens

aperture ring until a single dot is displayed in the center of the bar graph

YOU NEED TO CHECK THE METER FOR

EVERY PHOTO YOU TAKE!!!

*
* Set the shutter speed dial to
the desired shutter speed.

* Look through the viewfinder.

* You will see a needle meter
on the right of the viewfinder.

* Turn the shutter speed dial or

the lens aperture ring until the needle is in the middle.
