1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? the iris in your eye, your pupil
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture _____the darker your photo is________, the higher the Aperture _____the brighter your photograph___________.


3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
Aperture affects what your camera focuses on and the amount of light in the picture. It affects how much your camera focuses on the subject. Large aperture, large amount of foreground, small aperture, small amount of foreground focus.

Now lets move on to Shutter Speed. 


Once you are finished reading about Shutter Speed, I want you to use google and find me an example of a photo taken with a high shutter speed and one taken at a slow shutter speed (you do not have to show blur unless you want but I still need to see an example of a photo that COULD have been taken at a slow shutter speed). Post them both on your blog and label them.

Fast shutter speed




Slow shutter speed


1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few weeks ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree- slow
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings- slow
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym- fast
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard- fast
e.) people streaming in from the front doors-fast
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop- slow

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree- slow 

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings- slow

c.) the Stars performance inside the gym-fast

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard-slow

e.) people streaming in from the front doors- slow

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop-fast

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
It has auto which chooses shutter peed, aperture, and speed automatically. It has Shutter priority where you choose the shutter speed and the camera selects the aperture. There's finally the Manual mode where you choose both the shutter speed and aperture manually.

Now for the last of the pillars, ISO. 


Once you are finished, please go to google and find me an example of a photo taken at ISO 200 and a photo taken at ISO 3200 or 6400. Post both on your blog and label them.
ISO 200



ISO 3200


ISO 6400

Then answer the following questions:

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
It fights motion blur. It brightens your picture when you have a fast shutter speed to make your picture not have blur.


2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
Shoot where there is light. So that you won't have to change the ISO which will make your photo have noise. So it will be the highest quality possible.



3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
Be careful with it because it makes your photos grainy. Try to use aperture or shutter speed to make your photo brighter first.

Now that we have a basic understanding of the three pillars, let's look at some direct examples of what happens in when you mess with Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Go to the following website:
