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
