Camera Basics Quiz
Group B:
I learned about the exposure triangle and all the things that go along with it. Such as, Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO. All of these things are needed for a great picture because if you don't have them the picture will not turn out as good as you want it to. Shutter speed is like a window, it's the amount of time that it lets light into the camera. ISO is the cameras sensitivity to light. Aperture is the size of the lens when you take a picture.
2.
ISO: 800
Aperture: 22.0
Shutter Speed: .8
I made a slow shutter speed so it would make the subject blurry and the background in focus.
3.
ISO: 3200
Aperture: 11.0
Shutter Speed: 1/125
I made the ISO higher and then set the shutter speed and aperture according to what the ISO was that I used (3200).
1.
ISO: 800
Aperture: 7.1
Shutter Speed: 1/100
I made the focal lens 18mm and then set the shutter speed according to what the focal lens was.
4.
ISO: 800
Aperture: 5.0
Shutter Speed: 1/100
I set the timer camera to 10 seconds and then made sure it was centered and focused on a spot and then I walked up into the range of the camera and got the shot.

Understanding White Balance
Daylight
ISO: 800
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/20
Fluorescent
ISO: 800
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/15
Tungsten
ISO: 800
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/25
Auto
ISO: 800
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/20
Cloudy
ISO: 800
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/13
Custom
ISO: 800
Aperture: 4.5
Shutter Speed: 1/15
What is White Balance?: White balance is the way that the light reacts to the picture.
Why is it important to set your white balance?: So the picture can adjust to the lighting of the room.

Understanding ISO
ISO: 100
Aperture: 14.0
Shutter Speed: 15.0
ISO: 6400
Aperture: 14.0
Shutter Speed: 1/4
What is ISO?: ISO is the measure of a digital camera sensor's sensitivity to light.
How ISO works both technically and visually?: ISO works in the camera because it is the sensitivity to light and in the photo it allows the photo to be clear or grainy.
The relationship in the exposure triangle.: The relationship in the triangle for ISO is that it is the sensitivity to light and helps the photo be clear.
Understanding Shutter Speeds
ISO: 3200
Aperture: 4.0
Shutter Speed: 1/250
ISO: 3200
Aperture: 4.0
Shutter Speed: 1/200
What is Shutter Speed?: Shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open.
How Shutter Speed works both technically and visually?: Shutter Speed works in the camera like a window letting only a certain amount of light in at a time. In photos it makes the subject either frozen or blurry.
The relationship in the exposure triangle.: In the exposure triangle, shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter stays open.

Understanding Aperture
F/Stop: 4.0
Aperture: 1/125
ISO: 800
F/Stop: 4.0
Aperture: 1/125
ISO: 800
What is Aperture?: The size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken.
How aperture works both technically (in camera) and visually (in photo)?: Aperture works in the camera allowing light in like window, and in the photo it allows a certain amount of light to control the picture and make it look better.
The relationship to the exposure triangle: To have a complete exposure triangle you need to have aperture. Without aperture the picture won't be under control and it won't look how it is supposed to.

Peer Portrait
Dear Future Wife of Nate Litsinger,
Nathaniel Sterling Litsinger, or Nate as he would prefer to be called, is someone who you would find on his phone more than the internet, someone who enjoys playing lacrosse in his spare time, and likes hanging out with friends and going rock climbing. If he could change anything about himself it would be that he was taller. Nate enjoys photography and wishes to see things from a different point of view and if he could take a picture of anything, he would love to take a picture of Bali. In 10 years, Nate sees himself either traveling the world or being an accountant. One habit that he wants to break is to stop spitting all the time. Nate’s all time biggest fear is other people falling because he is a very caring person. Also, something that he hates, that he wishes would go away, is when people dress up dogs for some unknown reason. His biggest flaw is that he hates his voice. A super power that he would love to have is to fly so he could go to his favorite restaurant, The Middlesex Diner.
Sincerely,
Amber Tomasello
Photographic Themes
I thought that the assignment was a great learning experience to learn how to work the camera and it was a great way to get familiar with taking pictures properly. I thought that the end result of the project went well because all the pictures look really nice in the grid together. My favorite photograph is the one for hope in the top left corner because it was a really pretty picture and the set up of it was really nice.

Qualities of a Good Photograph #1
ATomasello_blogpost1
In order to
have a good photograph, you must capture the emotion of the image. You also
have to make sure that there is a good energy flow to go along with the picture
to keep the audience attached. Light is
also a good thing to have when taking a picture because it can easily change
the emotion and meaning of the picture.
Another thing that the photographer needs to have is background or
surroundings. If there wasn’t a set background than the photograph may not have
the same meaning as it would if there was a set background that went along with
the picture. Also, you have to make sure that when you put all of these things
together, the audience feels a connection towards the photograph. The photographer has to make sure that they
have all of these things to create a great photograph. The different
surroundings around you make just as good of a picture as one that is set up.
Such as the weather, the different seasons, just an area with good lighting. If
you take an amazing picture of some of these things, people might be more aware
of their surroundings. Even if you take a really horrible picture, if it
creates an emotional response for the audience, than you did not fail because
that’s what photographers like the most, for their image to create emotion.
Best Photo
My photo is the best photo because it has a really good setting around it and it just looks like a really good photo that someone could easily connect and emotion with. I dimmed out the sun in the background so it would make the ground and houses more visible. It is just all around a good picture.
