Three Pillars of Photography (Shutter Speed)

FAST SHUTTER SPEED

SLOW SHUTTER SPEED

1.If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which will be next month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations.

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

a.) the dunking booth Fast
b.) the food eating contest Fast
c.) the rock climbing wall Medium
d.) someone working at a booth Medium
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle  Medium
f.) the Diamonds performance. Fast

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.) the dunking booth Medium
b.) the food eating contest Medium
c.) the rock climbing wall Medium
d.) someone working at a booth Slow
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle Slow
f.) the Diamonds performance. Medium 

Aperture

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? 

Simply put, aperture is a hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body. It is easier to understand the concept if you just think about our eyes. Every camera that we know of today is designed like human eyes.

2. Finish this sentence: The smaller the Aperture number, the bigger the Aperture opening.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?  A large f-number will bring all foreground and background objects in focus, while a small f-number will isolate the foreground from the background by making the foreground objects sharp and the background blurry.

4. Using a class camera, list ALL of the F stops available on the lens currently attached. 18, 24, 35 and 55

5. What is the highest and smallest aperture numbers available on the kit lens? 18 and 55
