3 Ways to Show Movement

Camera moving again stationary subject

Camera and subject both in motion

Subject in motion while camera is still

The Aperture Aperture- >size of lens opening Controls the brightness of light that enters the sensor or film Size of aperture indicated by its f-number or f-stop Few lenses provide a range of apertures greater than eight

stops Size of aperture controls amount of light that goes through

the lens Smaller the aperture size-> the more of a scene that will be

sharp from near to far

The Aperture cont.

Using Shutter and Aperture Together Shutter speed & aperture affect the amount of light entering

the camera. They also affect sharpness.

Example: small aperture and slow shutter speed

Choosing a camera Take into consideration the types of pictures you want to

take Adjustable cameras-> suitable for photography students or a

serious amateur Resolution of sensor or size of film determine the quality of

the camera’s images

Single-Lens reflex cameras Shows scene directly through lens Viewing system built around a mirror Pros: works well with all lenses from wide angle to super

telephoto;useful for closeups Cons: heavier,larger, and usually more expensive than a

compact camera

Rangefinder/Viewfinder Cameras Shows scene through a small window (viewfinder) Equipped with simple lens system that shows an almost

exact view of what the picture will be Pros: compact, lightweight, fast handling Cons: prevents you from seeing exactly what the lens sees

Compact digital cameras Generate photographs by focusing the light rays of a scene

through a lens onto a sensor;sensor converts the image to data that is moved to a memory card

Pros: wide range of styles, features, and price Cons: difficult to adjust manually; most have a

noninterchangeable lens; many have no viewfinder; noticeable delay

View cameras Has direct, through-the-lens viewing and a large imagine on

a viewing screen Pros: you see exactly what is seen through the lens;

precisely control focus or perspective Cons: bulky and heavy, slow to use

Keeping the Camera Steady
