Monday Beginning Camera

Class 1: Introduction and Camera Overview

Overview: We got our toes wet by making our introductions, had some technical difficulty, and identified parts of our cameras. We figured out how to change our aperture, shutter speed and ISO, plus our focal point. We also looked at images on Flickr and talked about different settings.

Resources: This will usually have some further reading.

 

Homework: 

  1. Get familiar with changing your shutter speed, ISO and aperture by picking a row below and changing your settings to match it. Keep changing your settings so it starts to become second nature 🙂 
    ISOAperture (f-stop)Shutter Speed (seconds)
    100f/2.81/1000
    200f/41/500
    400f/5.61/250
    800f/81/125
    1600f/111/60
    3200f/161/30
    6400f/221/15
    12800f/2.81/8000
    25600f/41/4000
    51200f/5.61/2000

    1/2 and 1/3 stops

    ISOAperture (f-stop)Shutter Speed (seconds)

  2. Go to Flickr.com and make a login. You don’t have to give them any money, this is a free service for our purposes! Then, find 3 images you like and can talk about and send me the URLs (just copy and paste the url in an email to me at sourwood.photography@gmail.com). We are trying to develop your eye and style.
