Lecture Notes

Exposure Triangle

Testing

2x Criteria

PART 1: Aperture 

Aperture = size of the hole in the camera lens (mm)

• Small aperture = less light/f-stop f22 = affects the focal length = all frame 'in focus'
• Large aperture = more light

e.g. Bird = f2.4

Open aperture

Shortens/Shallow

Depth of field

Faster lens

f8 & be there

DSLR = Digital Single Lens Reflex

Lens

70mm - 200mm

Zoom lens

Prime/Fixed lens

As you zoom in tighter, f-stop increases and aperture effect is to close it

Examples

This photo has a small aperture however the photo is focused on a single object.

This photo also has a small aperture but it is focused on a group of objects.

This photo has a large aperture and the photo is focused on a group of objects.

PART 2: Sensitivity of camera sensor

I.S.O./A.S.A 

100 (low sensitivity)

200

400

800 (high sensitivity)

Examples

This photo has a low sensitivity

This photo shows the difference between an image with low sensitivity and an image with high sensitivity.

This photo has a low sensitivity

PART 3: Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is how regularly you shut off the lens

Boy in snow = 1/8

Examples

This photo has a low shutter speed

This photo has a high shutter speed

This photo has a low shutter speed
