MP1 Test part 1: Value of light

IF you have a DSLR - try the yellow or blue setting.

 In Aperture Mode : Adjust the f-stop to F/7.1 for (odd#)F/20 (even#)

In Shutter Speed Mode: Adjust the shutter speed or exposure to 1/200 sec(odd#) 1/125 sec for (even#)

Take one in this setting. if the picture comes out too bright or too dark. you may NEED to make some adjustments to obtain a properly exposed photo without flash.

Upload JPG to Google photo album as pic #30a,30b

#30a: Test default setting - even lighting
#30b: corrected setting - spot lighting

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 a 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)=
