Still Life Preview

1. Fruit, furniture, flowers

2. When doing still life, you have to remember that the objects cannot be portrayed as moving or even being alive. You have to also somehow capture the audience's eyes by arranging the scene in interesting way. Lighting is a huge key as well. Your lighting will set the tone, mood, or feeling for these inanimate objects. Shadows can either be an enemy, or a useful technique.

3. Determining the amount of light you will expose.

4. Allows in a lot of light.

2. The train tracks by my home, the woods, the river, graffiti

3. Companies

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
