motion preview

1) The photographer got this photo by keeping the dog still slowing down the shutter speed and keep the focus on the dog as that car moved along.
2) try to stay steady, use lower ISO, and try using small apertures.
3) I want to try this dog photo.

Lightroom notes

First Free Shoot

Wedding Photo 1:

     This photo is of a bouquet of flowers for a wedding. These flowers became the centerpiece of the wedding when it was tossed into the air for all of the woman to catch. 

Wedding Photo 2:

     The pearls and sea shells are the main ornaments for the wedding. These beads and shells were placed everywhere to incorporate the theme of a "On The Sea-Side" wedding. 

Wedding Photo 3:

     The bride's shoe is sat on a mirror and presented to the bride as if it were the story of Cinderella. The Shoes Sole the Show.

Reflection: 
1) I'm happy that I at least had something to post.
2) I would probably not wait to long to do the project.
3) I feel like I learned nothing, I need help with camera settings. 

1st 6 Weeks First Shoot Planning

Wedding Is my subject.

I will shoot this outside in my backyard or in my living room.

I will shoot this around 5:00pm-6:00pm.


I will use sunlight or a flashlight.

A Tripod and a50mm camera.

 I will take about 45 pictures.

Sunny 16 Rule

* I should learn this rule to help with light metering especially if the camera does not have a light meter on it. You should use the ISO 100 or shutter speed 1/100 or 1/125 when starting with F16 for the Sunny 16 Rule.

Sunny 16 Photos not perfect Not Sunny:

Aperature, Shutter Speed, and ISO review

Aperture:
F-stop of 2.8

F-stop of 16

1) We should closely relate the aperture of a camera to the pupil of our eyes.
2) The Smaller the aperture the larger the f-number, and the Larger the aperture the smaller the f-number.
3) The smaller the f-number the blurrier the background, and the larger the f-number the sharper the background.
4) .3-60 depending on my zoom settings on my personal camera.
Shutter Speed:
High Shutter Speed

Low Shutter Speed

1) Daytime
     a) Dunking Booth- 1/1600
     b) Food Eating Contest- 1/1600
     c) Rock Climbing Wall- 1/1600
     d) Someone working booth- 1/1600
     e) DJ- 1/1600
     f) Diamonds Performance- 1/1600

2) Nighttime
     a) Dunking Booth- 1/800
     b) Food Eating Contest- 1/800
     c) Rock Climbing Wall- 1/800
     d) Someone working booth- 1/800
     e) DJ- 1/800
     f) Diamonds Performance- 1/800

ISO:


ISO 200

ISO 3200

1) An advantage to having a higher ISO for a basketball game or night football game would be having a higher shutter speed as well.
2) When there is plenty of light use a low ISO. 
3) When there is not enough light use a high ISO.

Camera Sim:

Different F-Stops=what Shutter Speed:
     1) F-2.8, SS1/125, ISO 400, it is very blurry in the background and all you can really see is the girl and her wind wheel.
     2) F-4, SS1/60, ISO 400, it is very blurry in the background and all you can really see is the girl and her wind wheel.
     3) F-5.6, SS1/40, ISO 400, the background is less blurry and all you can really see is the girl and fan is very blurry.
     4) F-8, SS1/1600, ISO 400, the background is partially blurry and both the girl and wind wheel are visible.
     5) F-11, SS1/800, ISO 400, the background is partially blurry and both the girl and wind wheel are visible.
     6) F-16, SS1/400, ISO 400, the background is clear, visible and both the girl and wind wheel are visible.
     7) F-22, SS1/200, ISO 400, both the background and girl are clear and visible, the wheel is partially blurry.

What happens to the person when the shutter speed is set low?
     1) There is either blurriness a washout or no visibility at all.
     2) The photographer could speed up the shutter speed and even the light meter.
     3) The lowest Shutter Speed a photographer could use hand held depending on the weather would be 1/200.
