Exposure

F4.0

Aperture, by the size of the "eye" in the lens, called "f" stops.

One of the confusing things about aperture is the relationship between the size of the camera "eye" and the measurement. Explain this relationship.

Big number gives a big opening, the small number gives small opening.

Describe a scenario when a photographer might want to use a very high ISO and a scenario when a photographer might want to use a very low ISO.

Dark setting, Dark classroom, outside with bright sunlight.

Metering

Evaluative metering sees the whole viewfinder of the picture.

800

ISO, the lower the number, the less sensitive the camera's sensor will be to natural light.

Most photographers shoot in center-weighted metering (which is also called multi-segment metering in some cameras). In what scenario might a photographer might a photographer switch to a different metering setting?

Look at the center of your view finder. Look and it's really dark or really light. If it's not in the middle.

Discuss the purpose of flash versus how flash is often used by amateur photographers.

Minimize shadows to bounce light in a certain direction. Beginners use it when their in a dark room.

What does it mean to overexpose a picture? What effect does this have on a photo?

Purposely make a light. Create natural light areas of a photo or unnatural light areas of a photo.

Explain what it means to take photos in "shutter priority". What does the camera decide for the photographer, and what settings does the photographer still need to manipulate on his own?

The camera will decide the aperture.

Exposure

positive numbers along the grid increase the exposure manually, whereas negative numbers decrease the exposure.

1/80

shutter speed, the longer the exposure, the brighter the image.

Flash

the amount of light that enters through the camera's eye

Aperture
