Lightroom Presets

Example:

I want to use the X-Equals.com presets, where they change the tone in the pictures.

Lightroom Practice Free Shoot

The subject is the flag. I'm happy with the amount of focus. Next time I'll try different angles. I learned how lighting can really make a difference.

The subject is the ribbon. I'm happy with the clarity. Next time I'll try to get more background. I learned how detail is important.

The subject is the flag. I am happy with the angle and light. Next time I'll try to keep the ceiling out of the photo. I learned how making sure there's no distracting factors is important.

RAW vs JPEG

PART 1:

What are three advantages of a RAW file:  Admissible in court as evidence because you get all the information, It let's you use your camera to it's full, Lower in contrast

What is one disadvantage of a RAW file:  Requires a special software to view the images.

What are three advantages of a JPEG file:  Take 2 or 3 times more photos, You don't have to process it in software, Sharper images

What is one disadvantage of a JPEG file: Lower in dynamic range

PART 2:

JPEG- a smaller bite, better quality, quick photo option

RAW- a more dynamic, useful, retains more information, little more difficult options for photos

PART 3:

1. It captures all the data without compressing it.

2. You can edit the pixels like your camera would do automatically; i.e. white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors and saturation.

3. Not every camera has the option to shoot in RAW, takes up A LOT more space, you can convert RAW to JPEG but not the other way around.

 4. For more flexibility and more control over your image outcome.

PART 4:

1. Cloudy days or landscape photo shoots, portraits, if you want highlights/details in your photos

2. Quick shots for sports, macro pictures, anything with low light

Sunny 16 and Basic Exposure Constant

The Sunny 16 should be used because it's going to almost always give you sharp, good photos when shooting outside on a sunny day.
What ISO to use with F 16 (Sunny 16)? ISO 100
A "stop" is a general term used in photography to describe the change in brightness.
How many stops brighter is a room if you start with one lightbulb and then add another?
+2 Stops or double as bright.
 Using the "Standard full-stop f-number scale" what aperture settings represent a full stop worth of light? The next whole number up.

NOTES:

• The proper exposure is determined by the ISO of the film/sensor setting
• For ISO 100, at mid day(10am-5pm) outdoors with sunlit mid-toned object, set the aperture at f16, and the shutter at 1/100th

Camera Simulator Review

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO Review

Aperture

F 2.8

                                                                             F 16

1. The iris of the eye.

2. The smaller the aperture, the brighter the picture. The higher the aperture, the darker the picture. The higher the aperture, the less depth there is. The smaller the aperture, the more depth there is.

3. Aperture directly impacts how little or how much depth you will see in your picture.

4. F 3.5 to F 36

5. F 3.5 is the smallest and F 36 is the highest.

Shutter

Question:

1. The players will come out in focus while the background would be blurred.

Stick to high shutters that night of Blue & Gold so you can to create a frozen in action like photo.

Fast Shutter

                                                                         Slow Shutter

(1.) In the beginning

 a. Fast

b. Medium

c. Medium

d. Medium

e. Medium

f. Fast

(2.)  Towards the end

a.  Slow

b. Slow

c. Medium

d. Slow

e. Medium

f. Medium 

  

   

                   Three Settings The Camera has for Shutter:

Auto: automatically sets your shutter for you

Aperture Priority: automatically sets the shutter for you

Shutter Priority: you choose the shutter

Manual: you set everything yourself

Shutter Settings on Our Cameras:

1. From 30" to 1/4000

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 6400

1. Higher ISO is going to give you sharper images, more focus on your subject.

2. Basically use the lower ISO's (100-200) as much as possible, especially when there's plenty of light.

3. Use the higher ISO when there is very little light.

4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
