Photographic Essentials

10/6/2015

 
We are going to cover what I consider the essentials of photography.... stuff you should already be familiar with. I want to know we all have a strong technical foundation before we move on to more advanced techniques. You will have a practical test at the end of this unit to prove to me that you 'get it'.

1. Aperture
2. Shutter
3. ISO
4. Exposure Compensation

Each shooting assignment is in the slide presentation below. After images are shot, edit in Lightroom, export images as jpgs, add images to Google Classroom assignment, justify your choices and results and turn in when complete.

Reflection Prompts:
  1. Aperture - (3 images) Describe how you set up the shot, the aspects of the aperture used and the effects of each on the amount of light and depth of field. 
  2. Shutter Speed  - (3 images)  Describe how you set up the shot, the aspects of the shutter speed used and the effects of the amount of light and motion. 
  3. ISO - (3 Images) Select one each of ISO 200, 400, 1600. Explain which ISO was used in each photo and why it was used for the particular scenario. Remember it has to do with light sensitivity.
  4. Exposure Compensation - ‘Black/Dark’ images, Why did you have to use exposure compensation and explain which amount of exposure compensation came out the best.
  5. Exposure Compensation - ‘White/Bright’ images, Why did you have to use exposure compensation and explain which amount of exposure compensation came out the best.
  6. Fill - Flash - Explain why you would have used fill flash in this shooting situation (what would it look like without the flash) What level of fill flash (-1, 0, +1) gave you the best result and why you think that.
Once submitted to Google Classroom, you will select the image you think has the strongest technical, composition and artistic elements as your 'fine art' image. Write a paragraph reflection that describes these aspects of your image (using art & photo vocabulary) and post to your blog alongside your image.
