The document discusses various photography concepts including exposure, focal length, and lighting. Exposure is defined as the amount of time the camera shutter is open, with higher exposures like 1/100 letting in less light than lower exposures like 1/5. Focal length affects background and foreground blurriness, with increased focal length blurring the background more. Different types of lighting like high key and low key are also examined.
4. Exposure
Exposure can be defined as the amount of time that a cameras shutter is allowed to be open in order to capture
The light and take the photo. A higher exposure such as 1/100, meaning the shutter is open for 1 100th of a second,
lets less light in, where as a lower exposure such as 1/5, meaning that the shutter is open for 1 5th of a second, lets
More light in. This can be seen on the previous slide where a higher exposure resulted in a darker photo of the car
and a lower exposure resulted in a much brighter photo of the car. A lower exposure can also lead to blur if the camera
or subject moves while the shot is being taken.
5. Focal Length
18mm 50mm 105mm 155mm 300mm
Here we can see how focal length effects a shot. Using different focal lengths whilst moving the
camera around to keep the subject in the same position, we can see how the background and
foreground of the subject get blurrier as the focal length increases.
