Basic Photography Shooting

Exposure Setting

In photography, exposure is the amount of light that reaches your camera sensor or film.
The main parts of the camera:
 

- Camera Body

 

  • Shutter

  • Image sensor

  • LCD screen


- Camera Lens
  • Aperture/ Iris
The camera body is a light-proof box. 

Figure 1.1 Camera Body

  1. Iris: Iris/Aperture controls the flow of light entering the lens.

  2. Shutter Speed: The shutter is a small plastic sheet that opens and closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film.

  3. ISO: Originally referred to the sensitivity of film—its "light gathering" ability. For digital photography, ISO refers to the sensitivity—the signal gain—of the camera's sensor.


There are only two camera settings that affect the actual “luminous exposure” of an image: shutter speed and aperture. The third setting, camera ISO, also affects the brightness of your photos.

Lens Perspective

The are wide angle lens, standard lens and tele lens. Appropriate lens provided desire framing, lens choice affects angle of view.

Figure 1.3 Lens Perspective

  • Focal Length: The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice-versa.
  • Depth of Field: The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp and in focus. The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field.
  • Wide-angle lenses are ideal for fitting a large area into your frame.
  • Tele lenses allow you to photograph subjects from a distance thanks to their magnification.
DSLR cameras are designed to capture images. Phones are designed to carry out a multitude of functions.

    Phone cameras are very limited by size. The size of the lens and the size of the sensor that captures the photos. Entry-level DSLR have much larger lenses and sensors than mobile phones do.

    SUBMISSION ON E-PORTFOLIO
    Attach your Week 5 E-Portfolio link to this submission.

    - In this exercise, we were required to subtract the background of the poster that our lecturer provided. After that drop SHAZAM to the mansion and adjust its size.

    Figure 2.3 Layer 

    - I created 4 layers for this exercise, including reflection, Shazam, shadow, and mansion. This was my final work:

    Hearst Mansion with My Reflection

    Figure 2.5 & 2.6 My Own Picture 

    - In part 2 of the exercise I used my own picture and cropped myself out for the use of the following exercise. I added the picture to the Hearst Mansion which was the same as the Shazam. I used the object selection tools so that it was easier to crop out myself from the picture.
