Camera Basics Quiz

Group B

 For this photo, I took a picture of my fish. I looked around and this was the only thing i could find that was constantly moving. I put my shutter speed as low as I could without it looking dark.

This is a picture of an original soccer ball. Most don't look like this anymore. For this photo, i laid down and put the camera on the ground.

This photo is a picture with grain. I thought this would be a good object to take a picture of because it has lots of color and I figured it would be festive. I like to take pictures of things from a downward angle because I think they look much cooler than a photo straight on.
 

This is my self-portrait. It took me about 15 different tries to get a photo I liked. I didn't have a tripod so I set the camera on a table and used the self timer. The camera gave me 10 seconds and then took 10 shots of me.

Understanding White Balance

What is white balance? Well...
White balance helps you get the color in the image as accurate as your eyes see them. There are different kinds of pre-made white balances for the different types of lighting you might have. The names a self-explanatory. Custom white balance is the setting that lets you choose what is "white".

	Framing	Directs viewer's attention to what is important using objects or elements existing in the scene
	Repetition/ Pattern	The repeated consistency of an element of work
	Birds Eye View	View looking from above looking down
	Rule of Thirds	Composition of thumb where the whole image is divided into 9 equal parts; compositional elements should be placed along these lines or intersections
	Symmetrical Balance	One side balan balances or the other (separated by vertical lines)
	Vertical Lines	Lines that run north & south -Grandness & Spirituality
	Unity	All elements of a piece work together to produce a balanced, harmonious, complete whole
	Asymmetrical Balance	Different Object balance each other out in the page
	Leading lines	Lines that lead the eye to other points in the image (or out of the image)
	Horizontal Lines	Lines that run east & west -Rest, calmness,
	Movement	Lines that run in a slanted direction -movement & direction
	Proportion/ Scale	the relative size of one object in relation to another
	Texture	The appearance and feel of a surface

	Simplicity	Singling out an item(s) from their surrounding.
	Horizon line	Used to emphasize the sky or the ground based on the placement of horizontal line where the ground meets the sky

Understanding Exposure Modes

A-Dep (Auto Depth of Field): 

fixes your aperture to make all major objects in sharp focus. 

Av (Aperture-Priority Autoexposure):

You select aperture, the camera selects your shutter speed

M (Manual Exposure):

 You select both shutter speeds and aperture 

P (Programmed Auto Exposure):

Chooses the aperture and shutter speed for you. 

Tv (Shutter-Priority Auto Exposure):

You select shutter speed, and the camera chooses your aperture for you.
