3. IntroductionJoy Covey Introduction to DSLR Algonquin College Photography Program in 2013-2015 Undergraduate from University of Hertfordshire-Bachelors in Honours, Photography Business owner of Just Joy Imaging since 2015-Family Photography and Printing Second Shooter for weddings at Grace and Gold Studios Production Assistant at the Photography Program

4. Attendance Introduction to DSLR Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class and after the break Late students will be admitted to class but the late will be documented for future reference It is the responsibility of the student to get information they have missed

5. Behaviour & Preparedness Introduction to DSLR The classroom is a professional office/studio No cell phones, texting, email or social media No food in class Drinks in class with spill proof container Respect the rights and opinions of others During critiques comments should be constructive

8. Photography – Exposure

9. hotography - Exposure Exposure is dependent on 3 variables 1. ISO – Film/Sensor sensitivity tolight (adjusting sensitivity will brighten or darken the image) 2. Shutter Speed (time that light is allowed to expose image sensor) 3. Aperture (size of the opening that allows light to expose the image sensor) Exposure Triangle

11. Lower ISO, sharper images, allow you to enlarge or crop images better Photography – ISO Sensitivity

12. Most common ISO settings 100 200 400 800 1600 3200 Less sensitive to light More sensitive to light Low noise, higher quality More noise, lower quality Photography – ISO Sensitivity

13. Photography-ISO Photography – ISO Sensitivity

14. Photography-ISO Photography – ISO Sensitivity

15. Shutter Speed Controls the amount of time that the sensor\film is allowed to be exposed to light. Photography – Shutter Speed

16. Photography – Shutter Speed

18. The faster the shutter speed (ex. 1/125 1/250 1/500 1/1000 1/2000 1/4000 1/8000) the faster the motion that can be stopped. Photography – Shutter Speed

20. Example of fast shutter speeds. Fast shutter speed like 1/1000th sec. freezes action

21. Slower shutter speeds (ex. 1/4 1/8 1/15 1/30 1/60) allow more light in darker areas and/or show motion. Shutter speeds longer than 1/60th require a tripod to prevent camera shake Photography – Shutter Speed

23. Long shutter speed like 1 second will cause blur in moving water

26. Panning Using a slow shutter speed when photographing a fast moving subject Photography – Shutter Speed

27. Moving the camera in the same direction & speed as the subject will keep the moving subject sharp while blurring the background creating the feeling of motion & speed. This technique is called “Panning”

28. Controls the amount of light that the sensor receives. Photography – Aperture f/22 Small Aperture f/2.8 Large Aperture

29. Photography - Aperture A common progression of apertures is: 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22 More light (brighter) Less light (darker) Each is double or half the amount of light of the next aperture number. Ex. Two stops brighter (5.6 to 2.8 = 4x the original amount of light) Photography – Aperture

30. The light meter in our cameras sees every scene as the same middle gray tone (18% reflectance). Light or dark scenes are shifted to this mid tone with auto exposure & must be corrected manually by the photographer. Bright scenes should be given more exposure (+1 or +2 or +3) & darker scenes should be given less exposure (-1 or -2 or -3) Photography – Exposure

31. If we have an “average” scene we can use the default exposure. If we have a bright snow or beach scene, we need to add more light (+). If we have a dark or night scene, we need less light (-). When in manual mode, by moving either shutter speed or aperture dials we can correct for brighter or darker than normal scene brightness. If working in any of the automatic modes, the exposure compensation dial is used to add (+) or subtract (-) light from the exposure. Photography – Exposure

32. Photography – Exposure Making several photos at varying settings like this is called “bracketing”& will allow you to select the best exposure later. In this series the +2 looks best.

36. Why & When is this useful? Photography – Exposure Normal Exposure Minus 2

37. Why & When is this useful? Photography – Exposure Normal Exposure Plus 2

38. All light Sources have a different colour temperature. In order to ensure accurate colour in your images you should match your white balance setting on your camera to that of light source. Photography – White Balance

39. White Balance is based on white light, which is approximately the same colour temperature as sunlight (mid day). Photography – White Balance

40. Here are common white balance settings on your camera Photography – White Balance

45. Student Photo Assignment Introduction to DSLR Time: 20 Min Assignment Work in pairs and taking photos of each other with your cameras Return to class and load the photos into Lightroom with the assistance of teacher Pick your best images submit via canvas with the assistance of your teacher Due by end of class or beginning of next class
