SIM CAM

F2.8 & 1/250sec very blury background.
F4 & 1/125sec blury
F5.6 & 1/60sec more blury
F8 & 1/60sec kind of clrear
F11 &1/30sec clear
F16 &1/15sec more clearly
F22 & 1/8sec better background
The best F-stop for me is F4 & 1/125sec .

Finally, what is happening to the people themselves at slow Shutter Speeds? What could the photographer do to help combat this problem? What is the lowest Shutter Speed do you think a photographer can hand-hold the camera? The picture gets better and better each time it starts of looking ugly and not good at all. The photographer should leave it at Fstop F4 and 1.125 sec.The lowest shutter the photographer can go would be  1/125sec F4

ISO

                                                                           ISO 200


                                                                      ISO 6400

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? Your able to freeze motion.
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? When theirs enuff light already.
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? When their isnt enough light and your trynna capture a motion.
4. At the camera near you, please tell me what ISO's are available on your camera? 100,200,400,800,1600,3200,6400.

Shutter Speed

                                                                     High Shutter Speed


                                                               Slow Shutter Speed




1. If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which will be next month, 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 is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth
b.) the food eating contest
(c.) the rock climbing wall
d.) someone working at a booth
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
(f.) the Diamonds performance.

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.
(a.) the dunking booth
(b.) the food eating contest
c.) the rock climbing wall
d.) someone working at a booth
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
f.) the Diamonds performance.

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. Shutter priorty and manuel . Shutter speed is doing the work for you and selects it itself. Manuel you set it up for yourself you decide.

FRAMING

 In this picture i did okay on following the rule. The subject is the binders being surrounded by the bookcase shelf. I would of zoom in more and focused more on it.

RULE OF THIRD'S

 I didnt do that good in following the rule in this image i needed to focuse more on it. If the computers were alined better than this image would of been good. I would of followed the rule better.

SIMPLICITY

 I did great on following the rule in this picture. The subject is nthe boy in the computer doing his work.

AVOIDING MERGERS

 In following the rule i did pretty good could of done better by nagain, zooming in so that i can actually focused more on what i was taking a picture of. The subject is the girl sitting down having the paper comeout of her head in the background.

LINES

I followd the rule pretty good in this picture.
The blinds are the subject in this picture and it is very specific it is clear for people.I just needed to zoom in more.

BALANCE

I Followed the rule very well because they are both balanced.
The Tubas are the Subject.
 The subject is kind of clear, maybe if the stands weren't in the way it would be better.

                                                                   BEST STORY
                        This image shows a good story to me because by the image we can tell that the girl is really interested in books and in what she is reading . By the picture we can tell she loves reading.We can make a lot of stories with this image, we can also say that she is fustrated because they left her with alot of homework at school.
                                                    ACTION OR EMOTION                                       
This image shows emotion to me because of the way the image was token. The students seem to love the teacher and they are messing around with him being playful.The teacher seems to be happy and going along with the students and joking around.
                                              
                                                        FILLING THE FRAME
This image has been framed and its focused on the project that the students are doing and the light with the smoke really capture my attention . It looks really coool and interesting it makes me wanna try it.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. I Would move the things i wanted to shoot and placed them where i wanted them and focused the camra and took a shoot of them.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photograhy?i would use the rules of simplicity to be able to get better pictures of exacly what i want to show you and what i want to get you focused on.


4. What things would you do the same?
Take pictures of the same things i did but actually take more.

5. Finally - go back and edit your blogs with the 3 photos (red, metal, grumpy), tell me what rules of composition (which you just learned about) did you end up actually achieving? Did you have any? i dont have any of the rules , i could of if i didnt have someone in it with the picture, but now i know im ready for my next shoot.

You cant really  view the F-stop on the top but it's the ligh. The small hole where you look to view the things you going to take a picture of and their is an adjust button, zoom in and out button , also the shutter button.Their's also a focal lenght button. Something i like about this camra is that the pictures come out clearley and sharp but i dislike that it's kind of a big and heavy camera but other than that it's a real good camera.

  • Records.
  • Stores Images.
  • Helpful.
  • Colorful.


Aperture is an opening through where light travels.
Shutter Is the button you press so it would take a picture.
Exposure is the amout of light that comes in , the aperture and brightness.
