Apertures and Shutter SpeedsApertures and Shutter SpeedsAperture, measured in f stops, determines the size of the opening inyour lens, which controls how much light strikes your filming during anexposure. The smaller the number, the larger the opening.
The larger the number, the smaller the opening. The smaller the number,the larger the opening. Aperture also determines depth of field. Thesmallerthe aperture, the greaterthe depth of field.

f2.8 f4 f5.6 f8 f11 f16 f22
Each f stop change lets in either 2 times or the amount of light,depending on whether you are opening up or stopping down.
Open up means to make the opening larger (but a smallernumber).Stop down means selecting an aperture that is smaller in size(but bigger in number).

Shutter SpeedsShutter Speeds Shutter speeds appear as whole
numbers, but are really fractions:
1/60 sec., 1/125 sec., 1/250 sec.,1/500 sec.
Therefore 1/60 is a slower shutterspeed than 1/125, etc.
When you change 1 stop in shutterspeed, you are letting in either 2 timesor the amount of light

If a correct exposure for a givenlighting condition is 1/60 @ 11, then
1/125 @ f8 will let in the same amountof light. If 1/125 @f8 is correct, then1/250 @f5.6 will let in the same amount
of light.

Exposure/MeteringExposure/Metering
To understand exposure/metering, it is
important to understand how a cameradetermines proper exposure.
An in-camera meter reads light that isREFLECTED off of your subject. Your
camera presumes that everything youpoint your camera at to be 18% GRAY.

accordance with the tonalityof yoursubject. You will get different readingsif your subject is white, black or gray.
Shades in between white and black canalso fool your meter (Yellow , Pink, etc.)

Exposure/Metering (contd)Exposure/Metering (contd) As you saw, white gave one reading,
black gave another reading and graygave yet another reading.
Since your camera thinks that the worldis 18% GRAY, it will UNDEREXPOSE
subjects that are predominantly white.It wants to make your subject GRAY.

Exposure/Metering (contd)Exposure/Metering (contd) How to get a proper exposure?
The most accurate way to determineproper exposure using an in-camera
meter is by using a GRAY CARD.A GRAY CARD will only give anaccurate reading if you hold it in the
SAMElight that your subject is in.

Exposure/Metering (contd)Exposure/Metering (contd) How to get an accurate exposure if you do
not have a Gray Card.
Find something in the scene that is 18% Grayor of medium tonality (blue sky, green grass).
BRACKET Take several shots at differentsettings. If your subject is lighter than 18%
Gray, open up, allowing more light in. If yoursubject is darker than 18% Gray, stop down,allowing in less light.

Exposure/Metering (contd)Exposure/Metering (contd) How to BRACKET
Use Exposure Compensation when shooting ineither Aperture or Shutter Priority.
Dial in + compensation to let in more light, or dial in
compensation to let in less light.
Most cameras will allow changes in either1/2 stops or 1/3 stops.
When shooting in Manual Mode, just watch yourmeter indicator as you dial in either more or lessexposure

Rule of thumb - White subjects needapprox. 1 to 1.5 stops of additionalcompensation. Black subjects usuallyabout 1 1.5 stops less compensation.

Depth of FieldDepth of FieldPhotography is not about depth of field, its about depth of feeling.
- Michael Fatali
Depth of field is defined as the distance between thenearest point and furthest point in the photographwhich is perceived as acceptably sharp. It is theapparent zone of sharpness within a photograph.This zone typically extends from 1/3 of the distancein front and 2/3 of the distance behind the subject.
How large or small that zone is, is determined byyour aperture. A small aperture (f22) will make the
apparent zone of sharpness greater. A largeaperture (f2.8) will make the apparent zone ofsharpness smaller.

Can be used as super wide angle lens
if you do not bend it when shooting.

PERSPECTIVE CONTROL LENSPERSPECTIVE CONTROL LENSUsed mainly in Architectural Photography
and Product/Studio Photography.They allow you to stretch depth of field atmoderate apertures by use of tilts and shifts.
They come in various focal lengths:Canon makes: 24 mm, 45 mm, and 90 mm.
Nikon makes an 85 mm macro PC lens
($1300). They no longer make the 28 mm

LENS FLARELENS FLARE Caused by shooting directly into a bright
light source (sun or flash)
More likely when:1. Using a multi element lens (zoom)2. Using a wide angle lens
3. Using filters/stacking filters Reduce flare by:
1. Using lens hood or gobo to shade lens
2. Using a fixed focal length lens3. Using a longer focal length lens4. Removing filters

Be careful to avoid vignetting do notstack filters if you can avoid it. Wideangle lenses are more likely to produce

Things To Watch ForThings To Watch For Watch your edges!!!!!
Most beginners do not look at thebottom of the frame when composing.
Leave room for subjects such as birds
and animals so they do not appear tobe leaving the frame.
In portraits, leave some head space
unless you are cropping tight for areason.
