Exposure triangle video
review your DSLR settings




watch
Video with diagram... take notes!

worksheet:
with Class exercise:
Given the following scenarios, what are the appropriate settings for focal length, aperture, shutter speed and ISO? Lens used the 18-55mm on Canon T-6. Try out your settings too.


        1) Beautiful sunny day and you want to take sharp image of a building from a close distance.
         ISO=           Shutter Speed =           Aperture=            Lens (Focal length)=


2) At a birthday party with candle lights only and you’re taking a picture of the cake 
          ISO=           Shutter Speed =                      Aperture=            Lens (Focal length)=


3) Early Morning, sun is not up yet and you’re taking a picture of the beach and you want everything to be in focus.   
           ISO=           Shutter Speed =         Aperture=       Lens (Focal length)=


4) You’re taking a picture of your significant other in a crowded place in the afternoon at 5:30PM near Times Square. You only want your subject to be in focus and everything else to be blurry.    
            ISO=            Shutter Speed=                    Aperture=       Lens (Focal length)=


5) You’re taking a picture of a Lamborghini in a racetrack with overcast daylight but want to give motion blur to everything else but the car.   
ISO=        Shutter Speed =                      Aperture=          Lens (Focal length)=


6) You’re taking a picture of a ninja during broad daylight (assume ninjas are fast!)
                 ISO=             Shutter Speed =             Aperture=       Lens (Focal length)=


7) You’re in your corner office on the 10th floor and you are taking a picture of your friend that works on the 10th floor in a neighboring building during broad daylight at 12:00PM.
           ISO=         Shutter Speed =           Aperture=      Lens (Focal length)=


Hint: Exposure triangle:



next Monday: discussion and picture taking of exposure triangle (photo#41 to 46)
Write up: Exposure triangle: Defined with examples Taken with DSLR
# 41-42 (A (av) mode)  Picture with Small aperture & Large Aperture (Dof)
# 43-44(S (tv)mode)   Picture with Fast shutter Speed & Slow shutter Speed (motion).
# 45-46 (M mode)  Picture with Low ISO and High ISO (image quality)

(write up on the observation of your practice shots).

add Qr code to your write up. save for next week's PPT # 4 


E.c.# 1: Take the 7 pictures according to your setting and see if they work. (no cheating) it either does or it doesn't.  But you still get credit.
