Are you frustrated by unnatural looking flash photos? An external flash can help with this, but there are several different types. This deck provides a brief overview of each, along with their pros and cons.
Fireworks photography involves long exposure photography to capture fireworks displays at night. Long exposures require keeping the camera very still on a tripod, as any movement will cause blurring. Estimating the exposure time to capture the exact moment a firework bursts can be achieved using bulb mode. Multiple exposures can also be used to combine images of fireworks taken at different exposure times into a single image.
The document discusses various photographic terminology including shutter speed, ISO, aperture, depth of field, white balance, and the rule of thirds. Shutter speed refers to how long the camera shutter is open and affects motion blur and exposure. ISO affects the camera's sensitivity to light. Aperture size affects depth of field and the amount of light entering the lens. The rule of thirds is a compositional technique that imagines dividing the frame into a 3x3 grid.

The document provides information about composing and exposing photographs, including:
1. Composition involves arranging elements in the frame, while exposure controls how long the film is exposed to light.
2. It recommends techniques like filling the frame, following the rule of thirds, and moving the camera to unusual angles.
3. Modes on cameras including manual, aperture priority, shutter priority, and program allow varying levels of automatic exposure control.
Photography involves capturing light with a camera. There are two main types of cameras - compact point-and-shoot cameras and SLR cameras. SLR cameras allow more manual control and produce higher quality photos. Key factors that impact a photo include aperture, shutter speed, ISO, zoom, focus, lighting, composition techniques like rule of thirds, and ensuring photos are properly exposed. Photography requires an understanding of how different settings affect light and depth of field.
The document provides information on key rules and concepts for taking pictures, including how to properly expose film by setting the camera's aperture and shutter speed based on the film's ISO rating and lighting conditions. It describes the "expose rule" for determining exposure time and effects, the "compose rule" for arranging elements in the frame, and the "rule of thirds" for composition. It also covers focus modes, exposure modes, light metering, and the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, film speed, and achieving the proper exposure to avoid under or overexposed photos.
The document discusses the three components of exposure in digital photography - aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It explains how each component affects the exposure and describes the relationship between the three. Standard settings for aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are provided, along with examples of how changing one component requires adjustment of the others to maintain proper exposure.
The document discusses proper film exposure and how to achieve it through adjusting aperture, shutter speed, and film speed settings. It explains that proper exposure is achieved when shadow detail is visible, and that underexposure and overexposure result in negatives that lack contrast or definition. Combining a fast aperture with a quick shutter speed, or a small aperture with a slow shutter speed, can produce equivalent exposures. A light meter should be used to guide setting the aperture and shutter speed based on the film speed.
1) The document describes the basic operation of a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera. It explains how light enters the camera body through the lens and is reflected by a mirror to the viewfinder for composing shots.
2) It discusses the key variables that determine photographic exposure - aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity. Different combinations of these variables can produce the same exposure but result in different visual effects.
3) Manual control of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO allows photographers to manipulate these variables to achieve desired pictorial outcomes in terms of depth of field, motion blur, noise, and tone.

Digital and SLR cameras are described along with their key differences. An SLR camera allows more creative control through interchangeable lenses and manual exposure settings. It provides higher quality images but is more expensive and heavier than a digital camera. Both camera types contain controls like a shutter button, mode dial and LCD screen, but an SLR features a viewfinder and can capture higher resolution photos through its detachable lens system.
Understanding Exposure Triangle in PhotographyAbhijit Ghosh
The exposure triangle is a common way of associating the three variables that determine the exposure of a photograph: Aperture, Shutter speed, and ISO. One must balance all three of these to achieve a desired result, an adjustment of one requiring adjustments of at least one of the others. They do not only affect exposure, but are also the largest determiners of the global appearance of an image; thus, their mastery is absolutely crucial both for technique and composition.
Objective:
1. To learn how to use the exposure triangle to set a correct exposure in your camera.
2. To learn about the link between ISO, shutter speed and aperture.
3. To learn what aperture is, and how to use it creatively.
4. To learn what shutter speed is, and how to produce blur or freeze motion photos.
5. To learn what ISO is, and how to prevent 'noisy' photos.
Target Audience: Photography Enthusiasts
Agenda:
• To understand Correct Photograhy Exposure.
• To understand the components of Exposure Triangle.
• To know how to balance all the three elements of Exposure Triangle to achieve a desired result.
• Understanding the purpose and value of exposure is a must for photographers, particularly beginners who are serious about developing their craft.

The document discusses the four factors that determine proper exposure in photography: illuminance, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. It explains that illuminance is determined by the light source, while shutter speed, aperture, and ISO can be controlled by the photographer through camera settings. It provides examples of how shutter speeds, apertures, and ISO values are numerically expressed and relate to each other in whole stop increments, with each whole stop doubling or halving the light. To maintain a consistent exposure, it notes that increasing shutter speed requires decreasing aperture by the same number of stops, and vice versa.
This document provides an introduction to photography basics, including how cameras work and the key components that control light exposure. It explains that light travels through the lens and aperture to the sensor, where it is transformed into pixels. The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the sensor, while the shutter speed determines how long the sensor is exposed. Together with ISO, aperture and shutter speed determine the overall exposure of a photo. The document also outlines common scales and terminology for aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings.
The document provides information about night photography techniques. It discusses planning night shoots by scouting locations during the day and considering lighting conditions. Moonlight, flashlights, and torchlights can be used to illuminate subjects. Long exposures require a tripod, cable release, low ISO, and painting subjects with light sources. Trial and error is needed to get correct exposures. Essential gear includes a camera with bulb mode, tripod, and light sources.

The document provides an overview of the basics of digital photography, including key terms, camera technology, and techniques. It discusses composing photographs by arranging elements within the frame, as well as exposing images properly by adjusting light, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Additional topics covered include downloading and editing photos, different types of lighting, understanding histograms, depth of field, rule of thirds, and required equipment.
Photography terminology includes:
- Shutter speed, which determines the length of time the camera's shutter is open when taking a photo. Faster shutter speeds let in less light.
- Aperture, which controls the size of the opening in the camera lens. A wider aperture lets in more light.
- ISO, which determines the camera sensor's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO numbers mean higher sensitivity but more image noise.
- Depth of field, which is the zone of sharp focus in an image. Aperture affects depth of field, with wider apertures producing shallower depth of field.
- Composition techniques like the rule of thirds, which divides images into th
The document discusses digital photography concepts including ISO, aperture (f-stop), and shutter speed. It explains how ISO affects light sensitivity, how smaller f-stop numbers admit more light, and how faster shutter speeds can freeze motion while slower shutter speeds blur it. Combining an appropriate f-stop and shutter speed is necessary for a proper exposure.

The document defines common photography terms like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure, file formats, focal length, focus, and more. It provides descriptions and explanations of these essential photography concepts for beginners to understand.
7. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER The Inverse Square Law “ Light intensity falls off with the square of the distance ” Example 1: A single light in a dark room will cast 4 times the amount of light on a subject when it is 2 feet from the subject as it will when it is 4 feet from the subject. Example 2: A single light in a dark room will cast 4 times the amount of light on a subject when it is 5.6 feet from the subject as it will when it is 11 feet from the subject. Example 3: A single light in a dark room will cast 4 times the amount of light on a subject when it is 16 feet from the subject as it will when it is 32 feet from the subject. ( Do you see a pattern emerging??? Hint: Think in terms of f/stops.)
8. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER Watt/Seconds vs. BCPS Watt/Seconds is a measurement of stored electrical power. BCPS (Beam Candle Power Seconds) is a measurement of actual light output. The reflector and its finish (polished, stippled or matte), shape, and size have a direct effect on the amount of light that is output from a flash head. Hence, you can achieve different BCPS output by changing the reflectors and/or light modifiers with the same amount of watt/seconds.
9. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER How to Use Guide Numbers The key to using flashbulbs (or any manual flash system) is the concept of guide number . The guide number expresses the amount of energy contained in the flash in a way directly useful to the photographer, and relates distance covered to lens f-stop, as follows: F = G / D where F is the lens f-stop, G is the guide number, and D is the distance. Whereas for electronic flash (strobe lite), the guide number depends only on the film speed, for flashbulbs a guide number is stated for a certain film speed, shutter speed, and film sensitivity (B&W or color). The reason that shutter speed enters the equation is that a flashbulb flashes over a relatively long period of time, and shutter speeds of faster than 1/30s cut off some of the light from the bulb.
10. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER How to Use Guide Numbers On just about any hot-shoe flash capable of manual, there's a guide number calculator built in.
11. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER How to Use Guide Numbers The four flash exposure variables are: F/stop, distance, power and ISO. You plug in any three, and the calculator spits out the fourth. Play around with your buttons a bit and you will see how yours works. What I like to do is to already know my ISO, my desired shooting aperture and an estimated flash-to-subject distance. Now, by setting up my GN calculator, I just dial in the different manual power settings until my desired f/stop lines up with my flash-to-subject distance.
12. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER This GN calculator is set for full power manual at ISO 200. It is telling you that, at 30-40 feet, you would get about f/4 out of this flash. And if you set the flash to 1/2 power, you'd get f/2.8 out of it at that distance. Here's the cool thing: If you zoom the head -- even on this old-design flash -- it will move the dial and adjust the result. Full power 200 ISO

15. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER How to use an Automatic flash Most automatic flashes have multiple auto setting options. The one pictured to the right has four. They are color coded yellow, red, blue and purple. In the example to the right, a yellow setting on the flash sensor will give correct exposures with the lens set to f 2.8 between 50ft and 4.5ft. A red setting will give correct exposures at f5.6 between 25ft and 3ft from the subject. Blue would be good @f11 from 12ft to 1ft and purple – f16 between 8ft and 1ft.

17. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER Focal Plane Shutters vs. Leaf Shutters Focal Plane Shutter Leaf Shutters Focal plane shutters have a maximum flash sync speed which is slower than their maximum mechanical speed. This is due to the fact that there are two blades in a focal plane shutter and how these two blades move at different shutter speeds. Leaf shutters will sync to flash at all shutter speeds. This is because the flash is not triggered until the shutter blades (right) are all fully open. (FLASH IS TRIGGERED)

19. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER First and Second Curtain (Front & Rear) Sync. First (front) curtain sync Second (rear) curtain sync Many cameras offer the possibility to synchronize either on the 1st or 2nd curtain. With 1st curtain sync. the flash is fired as soon as the 1st curtain is in upward position while with 2nd curtain sync. the flash is fired just before the 2nd curtain moves upwards. Obviously this means that the natural (ambient) light of a scene exposes the film/sensor either after or before the flash burst. If you shoot a fast moving object with 2nd curtain sync. you'll get a blurred moving effect which will end in the (flash-) exposed object. With 1st curtain sync. it'll be the other way round.
20. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER Hi-speed (FP) Flash Synchronization Focal plane (FP) flash seems to be a quite new technology but surprisingly the concept is already known for some decades. It allows faster sync. speeds than just e.g. 1/200s. With very fast shutter speeds the opening between 1st and 2nd curtain is never as large as the whole film/sensor area so a single flash burst would lead to a partially exposed film. As a solution you have to have a constant flash light for the whole exposure time. Unfortunately modern flash units have a peak emission characteristic so a single flash is not usable for this purpose. Today most manufacturers use a series of high frequency flash bursts (say 50 kHz) with reduced single light emission to simulate a (theoretically) long single constant flash burst.
21. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER Flash Sync and Shutter Speeds Starting in the early and middle 1950's a number of cameras were made with a flash sync position called "FP" which means the same then as it does now. It is a high-speed flash sync for use with focal plane shutters at speeds of 1/100th second and faster, and flash bulbs. As today, this feature was found generally only on the higher end cameras during the flash bulb era, mostly professional grade models. An examples of these cameras is the Zeiss Ikon Contax IIa and IIIa Color Dial. These were introduced to the market in 1954 and had " M " sync for shutter speeds of 1/30th second and slower, " X " sync for 1/50th second (for electronic strobe flash!), and " FP " sync for 1/100th second and faster. Standard flashbulbs (designed for "M" [20ms to peak output] and "F" [5ms to peak output] synchronization) did not have a long enough peak light output for the "FP" sync even though the duration of their light output is very long compared to an electronic strobe's. A special long-duration or "FP" bulb had to be used with this sync. FP sync X (flash) sync M sync
22. A FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY PRIMER Red Eye Reduction What is “Red Eye”? What causes it? and what can I do to prevent or fix it? “ Red Eye” is the appearance of eyes which are red in color photographs. “ Red Eye” is caused by light which enters the eye and bounces off the blood vessels in the back of the eye. Since the pupil is actually a clear lens the effect is to give a glowing appearance to the red color of the blood. The reason that this red color can be seen in photographs is that the angle that the light from the flash enters the eye is too similar to the angle that the light leaving the eye is from the lens axis. To prevent “Red Eye”, simply move the flash source away from the lens. The thing to keep in mind here is that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Some flash units have a red eye reduction feature which causes a pre-flash that causes the pupil to close down thereby reducing the appearance of “red eye” when the actual photograph is taken. This causes a delay in the time that the desired expression is captured and, as a result, these expressions may be missed. If you have photographs that already have “Red Eye” this can be corrected in most photo editing programs like PhotoShop, Lightroom, iPhoto and many others.
