Basic Photography Shooting

Main Parts of Camera
  • Camera body
    • shutter
    • image sensor
    • LCD sensor

  • Camera lens
    • aperture/ lens

Exposure Settings
  • Aperture/ iris 
    • control the flow of the light entering the lens
    • is measured by f-stop: f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/ 2.8, f/ 4...
    • the lower the f-number, the larger the lens opening
Figure L5.1: Aperture/ Iris

  • Shutter
    • opens and closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film
    • is measured in seconds: 1/1000 s,1/500 s,1/250 s,1/125 s,1/60 s...

  • ISO
    • the sensitivity of film ("light gathering" ability)
    • the common ISO camera settings are: 100, 200, 400, 640, 800...
    • the lower the number of ISO the less sensitive your camera is to light and the finer the grain

Lens Perspective
  • Types of lenses
    • wide angle lens: 
      • ideal for fitting a large area into the frame
      • almost everything is in focus, unless the subject is very close to the lens
      • e.g. landscape photography or street photography
Figure L5.5: Wide Angle Lens

    • standard lens
      • accurate representation of what the human eye sees, both in terms of visual angle and perspective
      • considered more natural than photos taken with other types of camera lenses
Figure L5.6: Standard Lens

    • tele lens
      • ideal for isolating a subject that is far away
      • allow to photograph subjects from a distance with the magnification

Figure L5.9: Type of Lenses

  • Focal length
    • is the measurement (in millimeters) from the optical center of a camera lens to the camera’s sensor
    • the shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view and vice-versa
Figure L5.10: Focal Length

  • Depth of field
    • the smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field
