  1. Welcome! Sample slides from the Digital 201 lesson plans – the complete lesson plans include more than 200 slides in each of two shows. Although both shows are similar, one stresses Nikon cameras and one features Canon cameras. Digital Photography 201

  2. Size Matters… • DSLRs have bigger sensors with bigger pixels • Bigger pixels give better image quality. less “noise” • Better for high “film” speeds Digital Photography 201

  12. Aperture (f-stop) f 1.2 f 8 f 16 Aperture or f stop – size of the hole in the lens that lets the light in. Denominator of a fraction of the focal length. f8 really means “1/8th of the lens’ length” Digital Photography 201

  13. Depth of Field What’s a “circle of confusion”? Digital Photography 201

  14. Closing down the lens increases the depth of field. f 1.4 f 16 Digital Photography 201

  17. Plumbing Analogy #1 Bright light source is like a bigger faucet – great amount of light in a given time Digital Photography 201

  18. Plumbing Analogy #2 Digital Photography 201

  19. Plumbing Analogy #3 Larger lens opening is like a bigger faucet or hose – more light gets through Digital Photography 201

  20. What shutter speed do you need, based on the subject? If it’s not moving, just enough to cover the camera’s movement Digital Photography 201

  21. The single setting that can really mess you up Digital Photography 201

  27. What’s all this talk about RAW? Digital Photography 201

  28. Digital 201:Exposure Modes Digital Photography 201

  29. Easy Does It – Point and Shoot • The expensive Instamatic - Full Auto on everything • Camera selects everything for you, including lens opening and shutter speed • Fully automatic shooting, multi-zone evaluative metering • Good for casual shooting • Shutter fires only if focus achieved • Limits overriding exposure, white balance, etc. Digital Photography 201

  30. Synchro-Sun lighting Digital Photography 201

  31. Fill-in strobe lighting • Altering lens opening affects both main and fill light the same way • Altering shutter speeds affect only the main light • Higher shutter speeds make the strobe light more powerful with relation to the continuous light source (sun) Digital Photography 201

  32. Changing the shutter speed alters relative strength of the fill-in lighting • The flash has a short, constant exposure time – 1/500th or less • Longer shutter speeds make the daylight exposure seem stronger than the flash • Your camera probably can’t use high shutter speeds with flash Digital Photography 201

  33. Cookin’ with Chrisrecipes for specific types of photos • Sports photos in low light levels • Stage photography, including school plays and graduation • Real Estate photos • Turning snapshots into portraits • Close-ups for eBay and household inventory • Photographing Art Digital Photography 201

  34. Photographing Art • ISO – low (ISO 100) • Mode – Manual • Flash – off • Lens – Most zoom lenses have some barrel or pincushion distortion when set to wide angle or telephoto extremes. Midway between is likely to give you the straightest edges on your photos. • Lighting – not flash. Ideally, one large light source on each side of the art, splashing across it at a 45º angle Digital Photography 201

  35. Photographing Art • Use a tripod or a copy stand • Back of the camera must be exactly parallel to the art, to avoid keystoning (one end bigger than the other) • Aperture – sharpest result are when the lens is closed down about 3 f-stops from the largest opening. • Bracket your exposures – normal exposure, plus and minus ½ stop or more. Digital Photography 201

  36. Photographing Art • White Balance should be matched to the color of the light source. Consult your camera’s instruction book and learn how to do “custom white balance” so that your images match the color of the art. • Use a balanced substitute target like this three-tone reference strip. Create a color adjustment layer in Photo Shop and copy it to a picture that doesn’t have the reference strip. Digital Photography 201

  37. Photographing Art • Large pieces may have to be photographed outside • Indirect light – shade or overcast sky • Use an easel to hold the art • Don’t worry about being right-side up. • Camera back parallel to art Digital Photography 201

  38. The Beginning Your camera can take great photos – let your creative side out! Digital Photography 201
