Think – Pair – Share
» Think about the question for a minute.» Share your answer with a neighbor.» Be prepared to share with the class.
Question One
»What are the three categories of film cameras?
Question Two

Question Three

On the InsideHow a camera Works
Photography
» Photo = Light» Graphy = to write or draw
» Photography = to write or draw with light
Drawing with Light
» Light tight box» Something to focus/control the light rays» Something to record the light» Camera Obscura

Camera Obscura
» Natural phenomenon recorded as early as 470BC
» It is why our eyes work
» Camera = box or room» Obscura = darken
3 Ways to alter the path of light
Light travels in a straight line
» Because light only travels in a straight line, the light from the top of the candle travels straight through the pinhole to the bottom of the camera back.

» Artists in the 1500-1600s and beyond used it to bring realism to their paintings.
Camera Obscura
Put it all together
» Camera obscura requires a light tight box (camera body) and something to focus the light (lens)
» We use a camera sensor to record the image» But there needs to be something to protect the
sensor from being exposed until we are ready to take the picture – the shutter
» AND we need some way to see what we are taking a picture of – a mirror and pentaprism
Seeing what the lens sees
dSLR
» The mirror and pentaprism is why dSLRs are called that – digital single lens reflex
» The mirror reflects (reflex) the image through a single lens
Taking a picture
» So how do you take a picture if the mirror and shutter are in the way?
Taking a picture
Lots of buttons
Parts of a dSLR
dSLR vs Point and Shoot
» Key differences:˃ Physical size of the sensor˃ Interchangeable lenses˃ Viewfinder vs LCD
» Which you prefer is up to your shooting style…and how much money you have.
