Free Shoot Planning

1. My subject either might be like, urban photography. Like pictures taken in downtown Austin, or in some city. Or some kind of action photography like skating, biking. etc

2. Pretty good lighting if its during the day.

3.Downtown, Skatepark.

4. Outdoors

5. Afternoon or early evening. Maybe if I do downtown pictures I might include some nighttime

6. I have a camera myself, but I might want to use a fish eye lens.

7. I will take at least 30 photos

Sunny 16 Rule

The Sunny 16 rues is important because it will help you know how to take proper pictures in outside lighting. That way your pictures will turn out better.

The ISO you should start with is ISO 100

If you start with 1 lightbulb and add another, you will have gone 1 stop brighter. To go another stop, you have to double the number of lightbulbs. So you would have 4 lightbulbs, at 2 stops brighter.

Full stop apertures.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO

Aperture

1. The pupil of the eye
2. The smaller the aperture, the the bigger the opening. The higher the aperture, the smaller the opening.
3. Aperture impacts depth of field, by having a higher aperture it will being everything into focus.
4. 3.5 - 36

Shutter Speed
a) Dunking Booth- 1600
b) Food eating contest- 800
c) Rock Climbing wall- 400
d) Someone working at a booth- 200
e) The DJ working in a circle- 250
f) The diamonds performance- 1600

Nighttime

Dunking Booth- 800
Food eating Contest- 400
Rock Climbing- 200
Someone working at a booth- 100
The dj working in a circle- 125
The diamonds performance- 800

Aperture Priority- You set the aperture and the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed.
Shutter priority- You put the shutter speed and the camera automatically adjusts the aperture.
Manual- You have to set both shutter speeds and apertures.

Shutter Speeds- BULB- 1/4000

ISO 200

ISO 3200

ISO 6400

1. The pictures will come out less blurry because in having a higher ISO you have a higher shutter speed.
2. Having a lower ISO is that the picture will come out more clear.
3. Higher ISO and your picture can come out more grainy.
4.100-6400

Camera Sim

F4    - looks the best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed.

The background is still blurred out, but more in focus. Still cannot make out what the background is.

F5.6 - looks the best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed.

The background is still blurred but coming into focus, you can make out shapes and colors.

F8   - looks the best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed.

The background became a little darker, but is still blurred. 

F11  - looks the best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed.

You can now make out what the background is, which is buildings. There is just a little blur.

F16  - looks the best at 1/30th of a second shutter speed.

The background barely has any blur at all. 

F22  - looks the best at 1/15th of a second shutter speed.

Now the background is more in focus, while the two people are just barely blurry.

Slower shutter speeds, means that the people will start to blur out, and the background might come into focus instead.I think the lowest a photographer can handhold a camera and use a low shutter speed would maybe be like 1/250th of a second or 1/100th of a second.
