Photography
Week 1 - 2021
Lecturer: Fran Jackson
Photography is
about
capturing light
In its simplest form
In its simplest form
Photography is like any skill if you don’t
practice you're not going to improve.
“If you buy a camera, you are a photographer.
If you buy a violin, you have a violin”
Everyone who picks up a camera to take a picture does so for a reason
The reason we picked up our camera is going to determine how you take the picture.
If the dog suddenly
decides to start doing
something crazy, you will
have to be quick to
capture it…
planning doesn’t come
into it much
But if your shot is planned, you may have time to set up your shot and
become creative.
This course will hopefully help you take better shots…
whether it’s your dog doing cartwheels,
or a beautiful sunset.
When I teach Photography I like to break it down into it’s
individual components.
1. learn your camera
2. composition
3. post production
Shutter Speed – the slower the
shutter opens and closed the more
light it lets into the camera sensor.
If there is movement in your shot,
either the subject is moving or you
are moving, you need to consider
shutter speed.
Shutter Priority Mode

Aperture – the iris in the middle of the lens
controls the aperture, it opens up wide and
closes down to quite a small hole.
The aperture like shutter speed affects how
much light enters the lens, but it also affects
how much of your shot will be in focus, this is
call depth of field.
Aperture Priority Mode
Aperture at work
How aperture affects your depth of field
Example of image Noise
This is the result of a small point and
shoot camera using a high ISO
Image zoomed 250%
In optics, chromatic aberration (CA, also called achromatism, chromatic distortion, and
spherochromatism) is a type of distortion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colours
to the same convergence point. wikipedia.org
Cyan fringe Yellow fringe
Another type of image distortion
Putting it all together
Exposure Triangle
Full Manual Mode
Taking your picture
Once you see something interesting to photograph one of the first things
to consider is the light, is it bright, dark or flat
Is the light above, behind or in front of my subject
Look for the Light
Aperture f2.4 = Shallow Depth of field
Aperture f2.4 = Shallow Depth of field, also lets in maximum light
This shot also would have a high ISO eg: 1600 or higher
My favourite light is soft light, the sort you
find in the late evening or early morning .
In the morning the soft light disappears very
quickly, in the evening it hangs about for
much longer. Soft light can also be found in
some shady environments, particularly those
surrounded by green vegetation.
Examples of appropriate shutter speeds.
1/125 = lowest shutter I will attempt to hand
hold my camera with an average lens, if the
subject is fast moving the shutter speed will
need to increase to match the movement of
the subject.
1/500 = this may be good for capturing kids
playing or animals.
1/1000 = this would be good for fast moving
subjects like animals running, cars or freezing
water splashing. You could also go much faster
if your subject is moving very fast.
These are only approximate and meant as a general guide, each camera will react
a little differently.
There are no hard and fast rules, you need to experiment with your camera to get
a feel for how it works.
f/13.0 shutter 1/100 ISO 200
Panning shot, only part of the subject is in focus.
Backgrounds
A much overlooked topic
Consider moving either your
subject or yourself to improve the
background
Watch out for the annoying red jackets in the background, or wheelie bin 
Ok ready to shoot
I generally shoot on Aperture Priority mode.
In this mode I choose the aperture and the
camera will work out the other settings based
on the available light (I always try to avoid
using flash, this is a personal preference).
I will always check to make sure I have a fast
enough shutter speed to capture my shot.
Aperture Priority Mode
Cannon
Nikon
I shoot in full manual mode so that I can control the depth of field in my shot, most of my shots I prefer
to have a shallow depth of field. This isolates my subject from the background and really makes it stand
out.
I always start with the ISO at the lowest possible setting to avoid noise. Then I will slowly
increase the ISO until I get a satisfactory shutter speed.

In the morning the soft light disappears very quickly, in the evening it hangs about for much longer. Soft light can also be found in some shady environments, particularly those surrounded by green vegetation.

Examples of appropriate shutter speeds. 1/125 = lowest shutter I will attempt to hand hold my camera with an average lens, if the subject is fast moving the shutter speed will need to increase to match the movement of the subject. 1/500 = this may be good for capturing kids playing or animals. 1/1000 = this would be good for fast moving subjects like animals running, cars or freezing water splashing. You could also go much faster if your subject is moving very fast.
  • 33. These are only approximate and meant as a general guide, each camera will react a little differently. There are no hard and fast rules, you need to experiment with your camera to get a feel for how it works. f/13.0 shutter 1/100 ISO 200
  • 34. Panning shot, only part of the subject is in focus.
  • 35.
  • 37. Consider moving either your subject or yourself to improve the background
  • 38. Watch out for the annoying red jackets in the background, or wheelie bin 
  • 39. Ok ready to shoot I generally shoot on Aperture Priority mode. In this mode I choose the aperture and the camera will work out the other settings based on the available light (I always try to avoid using flash, this is a personal preference). I will always check to make sure I have a fast enough shutter speed to capture my shot. Aperture Priority Mode Cannon Nikon
  • 40. I shoot in full manual mode so that I can control the depth of field in my shot, most of my shots I prefer to have a shallow depth of field. This isolates my subject from the background and really makes it stand out. I always start with the ISO at the lowest possible setting to avoid noise. Then I will slowly increase the ISO until I get a satisfactory shutter speed. Nubian Ibex at Mitzpe Ramon, Israel

Editor's Notes

  1. Dark light, digital cameras do a fantastic job in low light. If the light is very low put the ISO up just enough to get a shutter speed appropriate to take the picture.
  2. If the light is behind my subject (back lit) then again this is one of the instances a flash comes in handy. The flash can light the front of your subject to balance the light coming in from behind.
  3. Always avoid dappled light, the sort of light you find under trees. This is the worst light of all, the camera has a difficult job balancing the highlights and shadows.
