Movement Compensation • Represented differently by different companies: • Nikon – VR – Vibration Reduction • Canon – IS – Image StabilizationTamron- VC – Vibration Control • Pentax – SR – Shake Reduction • Sony – SSS – Super Steady-Shot
Exposure • A “correct” or “good” exposure occurs when you maintain as much detail as possible in both the very bright parts (highlights) as well as the very dark parts (shadows) of an image. How much of a range in which you can capture detail from light to dark is referred to as the Dynamic Range. As you are about to see, there can be many “correct” or “good” exposures • There are three factors which influence the exposure of your image: • -Shutter Speed • -Aperture • -ISO
Shutter Speed • Refers to how long the shutter is open, exposing the image sensor to light. • (how long the camera “sees” the picture) • Measured in Seconds, from 30 down to 1/8000
Fast Shutter Speeds (600 and up) are used to stop motion and will freeze the subject.
Very Slow Shutter Speeds (5 sec. or slower) can be used in very low light situations to obtain correct exposure, or achieve dramatic effects.
Aperture • An aperture is defined as a hole or opening through which light is admitted. • Inside the camera lens is a system of blades which open and close to increase or decrease the opening through which light passes into the camera
Depth of Field • Aperture also controls depth of field (DOF), which refers to how much of your image is in focus. • A wide aperture (small #) will give a shallow DOF and can be used to isolate a subject.
ISO • Typically ranges from 100-1600 • Newer Digital cameras have a higher range (up to 64000) • Using High ISO values causes the sensor to produce much more heat, which creates digital “noise” in images.
Why RAW ? • Get the Highest Level of Quality • Record Greater Levels of Brightness • Easily Correct Dramatically Over / Under Exposed Images • Easily Adjust White Balance • Get Better Detail • Enjoy Non-Destructive Editing • Get Better Prints • Select Colour Space on Output • Have an Efficient Workflow • It’s the Pro Option
Composition:The Rule of Thirds • Imagine the frame divided into three equal sections both horizontally and vertically • Divided into “thirds” • The Concept is: Placing your subject or elements along any of these lines, and especially on or near the intersecting points, makes a photo more naturally attractive to the viewer.
Rule of Thirds • Again, the concept is simple: Place subjects along the lines, or near intersecting points • For portraits, the eyes are often positioned along one of the horizontal lines preferably near one of the power points to make the photograph more pleasing to look at, and naturally draw attention to the eyes. • For landscapes the horizon is aligned to any of the horizontal lines depending on how much land/water/sky you want to show.
