  1. Photography By Aubrey Nelson

  2. What tells a story • Expression

  3. Interaction

  4. environment

  5. Body Language

  6. Action

  7. Composition • Rule of thirds • Focal point should hit on one of the red dots

  8. Examples

  9. Balance • Using the rule of thirds can sometimes leave your photo feeling empty. Using a second focus object in the background can help add balance to your photo.

  10. Leading Lines • Our eye is naturally drawn along lines, especially in a photograph. By composing your photograph using lines, you can pull the viewer into the photograph. They travel the lines and journey through the scene you set before them.

  11. Symmetry and Patterns • Symmetry and patterns are great for eye-catching photographs.

  12. Viewpoint • Think about the best way to capture your subject. Is it from above, below, or eyelevel?

  13. Background • When telling the story, is it better to have the background full or empty. A lot of times too busy of a background distracts from the subject. Simple backgrounds, sometimes, are best.

  14. Depth of Field • Compose your photography to convey a sense of three-dimension in a two-dimensional photograph. • Include items sharply in focus in the foreground/background. • Include items slightly out of focus in the foreground/background.

  15. Framing • Isolate your subject from the outside world by using a frame.

  16. Understanding Your Camera

  17. Camera Modes • Auto mode: Your camera makes the decision on the best shutter speed, aperture, ISO and to use a flash or not. • Portrait mode: The camera will adjust itself to a larger aperture so that the subject is in focus and the background is slightly blurred. • Macro mode: This mode works best when you want to move in closer and take shots of flowers, insects or tiny objects. It sets your camera to setting so that there is a shallow depth of field and no flash. • Landscape mode: This mode if for covering a large area. In this mode, the camera selects a small aperture. This mode works well for large groups of people.

  18. Night mode: Your camera will use a flash and a higher ISO to achieve enough light to compose your image. • Sports mode: AKA action mode. Your camera will use a quick shutter speed to freeze the action. • Aperture priority mode (A or AV): Your camera chooses all other settings such as ISO, white balance, etc when you set the aperture to your choice. • Shutter priority mode (S or TV): Similar to the aperture mode, here you will set the shutter speed and the camera will choose and set the other parameters such as aperture, ISO, white balance, etc.  • Program mode (P): Commonly understood as automatic mode and also used as alternative names for each other. The only subtle difference being a program mode gives you more control over flash, ISO, etc.

  19. Shooting in Manual Mode • Manual mode: You set the camera to all the settings you want. You have full control of how your image turns out. • Balancing the White balance:You set the white balance so that your camera understands the color temperature and your images can reflect the colors closest to that of your subject. • Automatic white balance settings: Most of the cameras have some of these white balance settings: Auto, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Daylight / sunny, Cloudy, Flash, and Shade. • ISO: ISO is the method adjusting the camera’s sensor (or film) to make it more sensitive to light. Higher ISO means higher sensitivity to light. Use the lowest ISO possible.

  20. Aperture • AKA F-Stop. The aperture is how wide your shutter opens. f/1.4 = a shallow depth of field. f/16= deep depth of field.

  21. Shutter Speed • Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second. So if you set the shutter speed control on your camera to 500 that represents 1/500 second. • If you set your camera to 250, this represents 1/250s. From 1/250s you go to 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, and so on. • The faster the shutter speed, the less time light is let into your camera. • Faster shutter speeds are for stop action, slower shutter speeds are for blurred motion.

  22. ISO

  23. Perfect Exposure • To achieve the perfect exposure you must find the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO that allow the perfect amount of light in. Exposure level indicator

  24. Sunny 16 Rule • The sunny 16 rule works like this: • On a clear and sunny day, at an aperture of F/16, you will get a correct exposure if you use a shutter speed that’s the inverse of the ISO speed you’re using. • Example: f/16, ISO of 125, shutter speed of 1/125 or • f/16, ISO of 200, shutter speed of 1/200

  25. Photography Trends • Black and white • Why? High impact, great emphasis on emotion.

  26. Tilt Shift • Some cameras have a setting for this. • Special lens or done in Photoshop. • Gives the effect of a miniature scene. • App available for iPhone and Android phones

  27. Lomo Photography • Photos taken by a Russian made camera that was a knock off of another camera. It is poorly made and by Japanese camera standards, a bad picture taker too. As the legend goes, somewhere in the 1990′s a cult following developed and hasn’t stop since.

  28. Fish Eye • Shot with a fish eye lens • Another effect that can be done in Photoshop • App available for iPhone and Android phones flickr.com

  29. Underwater

  30. Bokeh • The way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light • Shot with a wide open aperture.

  31. Photo Assignment • Advanced Photo students meet in the main conference room @ 7:15 • Everyone else make sure to be taking photos, practicing the basics of composition. Post them to Instagram with the #yearbookmachine2014 • A small panel of experts will choose first and second place photos. (the winning photographers will get an awesome prize)
