11:00 Photography Vocabulary Blitz

Learning something new usually includes new vocabulary. As we encounter new vocab terms, I’ll add them to the whiteboard. You are encouraged to use these terms when communicating about photography.

Today we’ll do some word sorting.

11:40 Camera Shoot Out – Focusing on Focus

Canon cameras have several autofocus (AF) modes that can be used depending on the shooting situation:

One Shot AF
This is the most common mode and is best for stationary subjects. The camera focuses when the shutter button is half-pressed, and once focus is achieved, the camera will not adjust the focus even if the subject moves.
AI Servo AF
This mode is best for moving subjects and keeps the focus on the subject as long as the shutter button is half-pressed.
AI Focus AF
This mode automatically switches between One Shot AF and AI Servo AF when needed, and is best for subjects with unpredictable movements.

To turn on AF on a Canon camera, you can:

Move the switch on the lens from MF (manual focus) to AF
Select AF under Focus Mode in the camera menu
Use the cross-keys or the dedicated AF button on the camera

Since we are shooting in Intelligent Auto Mode, the camera is using One Shot AF.

For today’s session, change to MF on your lens barrel. This stands for Manual Focus. How to you know when your subject is in focus – listen for the beeps and look at the AF indicator points to light up.

Short photography session outside. The purpose of this time is to practice setting up your camera.

Our Goals today:

Shoot in Automatic Mode with Manual Focus
Practice focusing for crisp photos – is the item you are trying to capture in focus (clear, crisp and center of attention)
Frame up some shots that capture nature
Can you apply C.R.A.P. to photography – Yes you can

When you return to the classroom after taking photos:

Select your favorite 5 photos (and most in focus) and place each image on a Google Slide with a title that represents the element that you think you captured. Look at yesterday’s dayplan to review the list of elements. You can have an image that represents more than one element, so no worries if you are repetitive.

5 slide slideshow with element name. Drop in Google Dropbox – Called In Focus Slideshow
Filename: InFocus_Lastname

Deliverables will be on display at 12:15pm today – I will showcase from the front of the room. Keep track of your time. Budget 20 minutes for pictures and 15 minutes to review and build your slideshow.
