Presentation Transcript

  1. Photography Basics

  2. The Process • The Exposure - Camera and Lens • Developing - Dark Room or PS… • Printing – Darkroom or InkJet

  3. The Exposure • Camera Modes • Auto, Manual, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority ( A, M, Tv, Av,) • What Makes an Exposure: • Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

  4. Aperture • A value given to the size of the opening relative to the focal length.

  5. Wide Open Shallow Depth of Field Optical aberrations More Light Closed Down Large Depth of Field Diffraction Less Light Aperture Effects

  6. MTF CHARTS

  7. Shutter Speed • Focal Plane Shutter • Slow speeds give more light • Fast speeds less light • 1/focal length

  8. ISO • Equivalent to Film Speed, grain size • ISO from 50 or 100 upwards • Low ISO- less sensitive to light low noise • High ISO- more sensitive to light high noise

  9. Focusing/Drive • Servo/Single, Live view vs viewfinder • Macro Focusing • Autofocusing

  10. The Exposure • Goals: • Set up Depth of Field, Shutter Speed, Exposure • RAW FILES not JPEGS • Focusing Manual vs Auto

  11. Sensor • Sensor Sizes: Medium Format, 35mm, Crop, Point and Shoot. • Focal Length Conversions • Advantages to crop/full frame

  12. Histogram • Histogram

  13. Developing • Misconceptions - Real Vs. Edited • Capture One, PS, Elements, Lightroom, DXO • Main Adjustments: White Balance, Exposure, HSL, Sharpening, Contrast • What’s your end goal?

  14. Online Postings • Screens have low resolutions. • CROP • End Result

  15. Printing • Resolution depends on size, distance. • More Megapixels, the larger the print. • Printers at least 240 ppi, upsampling at most 10-15% • Proofing / Brightness and Sharpening • CMYK/RGB

  16. Wildlife Photography • Birds • Macro • Landscapes

  17. Birds • Special Equipment: Crop Sensor Better • Telephoto Lens at least 200mm better range is 300-500mm • Fast Shutter Speed, Wide Aperture • Autofocus • Monopod

  18. Macro • True Macro 1:1 • Ways to shoot: 1:3 and Crop, Wide angle at close focus, macro lens, reverse lenses, extension tubes etc. • More magnification- more light loss, less DOF • Flash is very important/ Diffusor

  19. Landscape • HDR • Tri Pod, remote control • Wide Angle, Full frame advantage • Hyperfocal length

  20. Tips • Know Your Subject • Go Explore • Be Careful • Patience/Perseverance • You will be uncomfortable
