Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

Aperture

      Aperture f 2.8

Aperture f 16

1. Which part of the body is closely related to aperture?
The eye.
2. The smaller the aperture, the less light it takes in and blurs out the background, the larger the aperture, the more light it takes in and the whole landscape is more in focus.
3. Aperture impacts Depth of Field because it is the area of the image that appears sharp and the aperture affects what part of the image is sharper.

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds 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 was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree
Slow shutter speed
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings
Slow shutter speed
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym
Fast shutter speed
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard
Fast shutter speed
e.) people streaming in from the front doors
Slow shutter speed
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop
Fast shutter speed

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

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 - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.

When you put the camera on auto mode it automatically adjusts the shutter speed, and when you put the camera on aperture priority the lens aperture it adjusts the shutter speed, and shutter priority mode which does the same thing.

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?

The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event is that it takes in more light and makes the picture easier to see.
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
He said that when using low ISO it should be in a place with a lot of light.
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
When using a high ISO it should have low light to make it less grainy or have less noise.
