10:15 Aperture Priority

Review….

Aperture Priority mode, you have control over the Focal Length which is referred to as the lense field of view. Cheat Sheet

A small f-stop number (f2) means a small depth of field and large f-stop number (f22) means a large depth of field. From our activity yesterday a nice blurry background is more pronounced when we have our primary subject close and it fills the frame.

small f/stop numbers usually have narrow or shallow depth of field as seen in first image
large f/stop numbers create a deep depth of field as seen in the second image

10:50 Break

11:00 Blender

A really good way to get an understanding of focal length, depth of field and f/stops is to set up a model in Blender and play with all the the camera settings to see how things work.

If you have not been in Blender for awhile, no worries. I’ll take you through, it will be like riding a bike.

11:25 Shutter Priority (Tv)

Link to Photography Terms & Concepts

Shutter Priority mode allows you as the photographer to take charge of the speed of the shutter. To review, when you press the button to take a picture, the photo become exposed and the shutter closes when the exposure is complete.

The photo above is a classic example of motion blur using Shutter Priority mode.

The slower the shutter speed the more light is received by the image sensor.

The faster the shutter speed, the less light hits the sensor.

Let’s brainstorm some reasons why we would want to try shooting in Shutter Priority…

Back to Blender…

Blender’s camera is not like our real camera. The Blender camera is a simulation. That means that Shutter speed is not part of the actual camera in Blender. Rather, shutter speed is part of Motion Blur which is found in the render settings. Let’s continue with our model…

Some settings in Motion Blur to consider (in Blender):

Position:

Center middle frames of animation
Start frames of animation
End frames of animation

Shutter:

.01 is one hundredth of a second
.5 is a half second
1 is one second

In class we’ll look at your camera settings for shooting in Shutter Priority mode.

Big Questions?

How does light impact your images when shooting in Shutter Priority?
How can you eliminate camera shake?
What is the exposure triangle? For that matter, what is exposure?

Activity: Using Shutter Priority and with a partner, Capture:

Partner running – freeze action
Partner running – blur action
Partner jump – freeze action
Partner jump – blur action
Pan and Blur (pan one direction while the action – partner moving is going another direction)
Close Up of flower with slow shutter speed
Close Up of flower with fast shutter speed
Slow shutter camera swirl (pick your subject)

Return to the classroom, import and review. Practice using Adobe Bridge to review your shots and to do some editing with Camera Raw or Photoshop.
Before Lunch, post your favorite shot of the bunch… Be prepared to say why

Assignment:

Select a photo from each of the 8 shots that best meets that task.
Clean up any photos you need to and edit as necessary using Camera Raw or Photoshop.
Create a Google Slideshow – each image slide should represent each of the 8 shots
Record the f/stop and the shutter speed on each slide
Images should be attractively placed on each slide – consistent is size (Always use CRAP in your work)
This project is due by Friday – end of day (September 6th)
