1. There are three main ways to show movement in photography: with a stationary subject and moving camera, moving subject with stationary camera, or both subject and camera in motion.
2. Key factors that affect the amount of light entering the camera are the aperture size and shutter speed. A smaller aperture results in more of the scene being in focus from near to far.
3. Different types of cameras include DSLRs, rangefinder cameras, compact digitals, and view cameras, each with their own advantages and disadvantages for features, size, cost, and manual control.
2. 3 Ways to Show Movement
Subject in
motion
while
Camera moving camera is
again stationary still
subject
Camera
and subject
both in
motion
3. 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
5. 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
6. 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
7. 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
8. 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
9. 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
10. 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
