Best 3 motion pictures

Motion Preview

Motion preview
1. A longer (slower) shutter speed captures more movement.
2. Securing your camera and adjusting to shutter priority mode.
3. Because even small changes will make a big impact upon the shot so its better to shoot in a mode that gives you full control over the shutter speed.
4. Small apertures, decreasing the ISO, having a neutral density filter and panning.

Using Slow Shutter for Action Panning
5. set a shutter speed between 1/60 sec and 1/15 sec in Shutter Priority mode or Manual mode.
6. its important because the center will be focused and the background will be blurred. Thats how it should be in order to capture your main point clearly.
7. While continuously shooting the main subject will always remain on focus.

One Shot versus AI Servo Auto Focus Modes
8.  AI-Servo tracks focus on moving subjects so as your subject moves closer or moves further away your camera constantly updates focus to keep the subject as sharp as possible.
9. It can be used as both focus tracking and One-Shot.

What is Back Button Focus?
10. You don't have to worry about refocusing while shooting multiple times. 
11. if you have a still subject and hold down the AF-ON button in Servo mode, the camera will keep trying to work to find focus. So the subject will start going slightly in and out of focus because the camera thinks it should be looking for a moving subject. Basically its only better to use for fast/motion photography, not still life photography. 

Virtual copies and snapshots

1. Using snapshots you can only export one photograph at a time.

2. The one who is open or is in use (selected)


3. To create a Virtual Copy of an image, simply press [Ctrl + ’]. (That is, the CTRL key on a PC, or the CMD key on a Mac, plus the apostrophe or quotation key.)   Then, once you’ve created one or two virtual copies, you can edit them however you like and export all of those copies as separate images.


4. If you use virtual copies instead of snapshots you can export all the pictures at once instead of having to export them one at a time.

5. If you remove or delete the master/original picture the virtual copies will be removed as well.

Stock photography and legal issues

Step 3:
1. A model release is pretty much like permission from the models to release photos of them.
Asking for a model release before the shoot will make your life much easier, and your model will have more opportunity to clarify how he or she would like the photos to be used.

2.
3. Because your photos can be denied for having someone else's logo
4. Some images can be not suitable due to lack of space around the shot

Step 4:
5. Because they're free and easily to get
6. Because other designers might be using the same photograph
7. Buying stock photography
8. Royalty Free are easier to get and free and Stock photography you have to pay for and they have their rights.

Step 5:
9. You can be sued for taking a silly photograph of a stranger
10. Its funny if you get sued for that

Still Life Preview

Step 2
1.  fruit, vegetables and flowers
2. The photographer should have plain backdrops so the object/s will be the main focus. Also it would be better to have a smaller aperture.
3. Focuses better on the object and not the background.
4. To clear out the background.

Step 3
1.

from snap wire

2.  Photos of ACL or other Austin festivals and activities

3. Anybody who doesn't have time to take photos themselves. Ex. Advertisers

4. It could be a way to begin a career in photography and start getting payed for it.

First free shoot

Close up on Teresa's ring

Amanda's eye close up

Reflection:
1. I'm happy about how these pictures came out, I used the macro lens and it really captured some good close ups.
2. Take more pictures in order to have more variety to choose from.
3. I learned how to use the macro lens.

Lightroom presets can be your most powerful ally in making your workflow travel at the speed of light.

I used this preset because i liked the color it gave to the photograph.

RAW vs. JPEG

PART ONE:

1. Three advantages of a raw file are:
-If the white balance is off it is much easier to fix using the Camera Raw screen than loading the JPEG and manipulating that – the end result is much better as well
-The richness, detail (sharpness), color range and ability to adjust these settings end up being so much greater with a Raw file.
- has at least 8 bits of color.
2. A disadvantage would be that it isn't as sharp as a jpeg file is.

3. Three advantages of a jpeg file are:
- it's higher in contrast
- it's sharper
- it's immediately suitable for printing, sharing, or posting on the Web.

4. A disadvantage would be that it is lower in range compared to a raw file.

PART TWO:
1. A JPEG file is a format for compressing image files.

2. A RAW file is a format that has not compressed image files 

PART THREE:
1. A raw file captures all the data and forms an image file compromising of the compressed pixels.
2. have control over things like white balance
, contrast, highlights, shadows, colours and saturation. One slight drawback is that you'll need software in order to control these things.
3. 
4. 

PART FOUR:
1. senior portraits, wedding or party events.
2. sports, wildlife, and races.

Free shoot planning

black and white portraits

2. the subject would be the person I'm shooting a portrait of.

3. somewhere with a plain background.

4. indoors.

5. doesn't matter because it will be an indoors shoot.

6. good/ fair amount of light.

7. a backdrop, artificial lights.

8. good amount. probably more than 10 then ill pick my top 3 favorites.

Sunny 16 notes

The sunny 16 rule: the proper exposure is determined by the ISO of the film or sensor setting.
ISO- 100
Shutter speed- 1/100 or1/125
Aperture- f/16
LV: light value

Equivalent exposures:
Different frames that have the same amount of light but different aperture and shutter speed numbers.

Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO review

Aperture

aperture f16

aperture f2.8

1. The pupil

2. The smaller the aperture, the larger the F number. The larger the aperture, the smaller the F number.

3. The size of the aperture has a direct impact on the depth of field.

4. F 29, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7.1, 6.3, 5.6, 4.5
5.Highest is F 3.5 lowest is F29

Shutter speed

High shutter speed

Slow shutter speed

1.

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light

a.) Slow shutter speed.

b.) High shutter speed.

c.) Slow shutter speed.

d.) High shutter speed.

e.) High shutter speed.

f.) Slow shutter speed.

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.) High shutter speed.

b.) Slow shutter speed.

c.) High shutter speed.

d.) Slow shutter speed.

e.) Slow shutter speed.

f.) High shutter speed.

2.

- Aperture priority : the camera automatically sets the shutter speed.

- Auto mode : aperture and shutter speed are automatically selected.

- Shutter priority : you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture.

ISO

ISO 3200

ISO 200

1. A higher ISO at a night football game would be better than a basketball game because at the football game it is dark.
2. Using a low ISO makes the picture more clear.
3. Using a higher ISO makes the picture "noisy" and if you take a picture in the dark, it will add light without the use of flash.
