I think a photography class should be

a requirement in all educational

programs because it makes you see

the world rather than just look at

it. ~Author Unknown

What will I learn?

3 important things

ISO

Aperture

Shutter speed

ISO

Also known as film speed

Measures cameras sensitivity to light

Measured by a range of numbers

Range from 800-3200. Results in grainy photos. Good for fast

moving objects and low light scenarios.

High ISO

Range from 60-400. Results in good saturation of color. Good for

still objects with high available light.

Low ISO

Aperture

Also known as F-stop

Measure of the lenses iris opening

A range of numbers from (usually) 2.8-22

Control depth of field

Depth of Field

Shallow

F2.8

Far

F22

Shutter Speed

The amount of time that light is allowed to reach

the image sensor

Measured in a rage from full seconds to fractions

of a second.

“30” - 1/1000

Blurs of Freezes Motion

Range from 30 seconds to 1/60 of a second. Results in blurred

motion and a “painterly” effect.

Slow Shutter Speed

Range from 1/100 of a second to 1/4000 of a second. Results in

frozen motion. Good for action shots.

Fast Shutter Speed

Quiz time…

You are at little Timmy’s dance recital, what do you

think your ISO setting may be?

You want to freeze the hunky basketball star in mid

air while he hits the winning jump shot. What setting

do you think will help you with this?

What kind of depth of field works best for the perfect

portrait of your guinea pig named Nickels?
