Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

Aperture Setting: F2.8

Aperture Setting: F16

1. The part of the body that we could closely relate aperture to is our eyes. The cornea is like the front element of a lens.

2. The smaller the aperture the larger the f stop, the higher the aperture the smaller the f stop.

3. Aperture impacts Depth of Field by affecting how sharp all the images are. If the aperture is small, then the background will be way more sharp and in focus. If the aperture is larger, than the background will be more blurry.

High Shutter Speed

                                                       

      Slow Shutter Speed

1. At the beginning of bulldogs and hotdogs while the sun was still up and the courtyard has reasonable light:

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree (low)

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings (low)

c.) the Stars performance inside the gym (high)

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard (high)

e.) people streaming in from the front doors (high)

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop (high)

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other:

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree (slow)
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings (slow)
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym (high)
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard (slow)
e.) people streaming in from the front doors (slow)
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop (high)

2. the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed are "Auto" mode, "Shutter Priority" mode, and "Manual" mode. For the auto mode, the aperture and shutter speed are naturally picked by the camera. For shutter priority, you need to set the lens aperture and the camera already sets the shutter speed for you. Lastly, for manual you have to set the aperture and shutter speed both on your own.
                                      
                                               ISO 200  
                                      

ISO 3200

1. the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game

is that it's good for freezing movements, so it creates better action pictures for games.

2. The author made suggestions that when there is lots of light, you should use the lowest ISO. Also, he suggested that you can use low ISO in dim environments such as when you have a tripod mounted.

3. The author made suggestions to use a high ISO when there isn't enough light for the camera to quickly capture an image. Also, he suggested to use high ISO to freeze motion.
