Action Shots

This is the blur shot. I can't remember who was driving the remote control car but someone>> was. The object is a remote control car. We did this on the 19th of October 2007. I took these pictures in our classroom during Digital Photography for one of my assignments.

This is the actual action shot. I also can't remember who was driving>> this car. It is a remote control car that was a part of our assignment. Our assignment was to take
action shots. This picture was taken on October 19, 2007 also. This picture was also taken during digital photography. It's kinda blurry but i thought it was the best action shot picture.

This is the panned action shot. As>> you can see the object is clear and visible in the lower left hand corner while everything else is blurred and not so clear. This was also part of the action shot assignment. This picture was taken October 19, 2007 too. It was taken in digital photography too.

My Trip To Arizona

My typing won't be in order of the pictures but I'll explain. The pictures of the water and the mountains are from when I was on the plane on my way to Arizona. The pictures of the campus (the cafeteria and the other buildings) are what I took on my second day there in Arizona on the American Indian College campus, a ministry college. The picture of the moon was my last night there. I also took pictures of my friends but i didn't think you would need to see them.

Exposure

Exposure is the amount of light received the film. It's controlled by the shutter and how long and wide you leave the aperture open. The exposure created by the aperture, shutter speed, and sensitivity combination can be represented by its exposure value or EV. Overexposure- too much light and the picture comes out white, underexposure- too little light and the picture comes out black

Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter remains open for light to hit the sensor. Shutter speed is measured in seconds or in fractioned seconds. The very fast shutter speed "freezes" fast moving objects. The very slow shutter speed "freezes" moving objects.

f-stop or f-number is a measurement of the size of the aperture. The larger the f-stop the smaller the aperture is. The smaller the f-stop the larger the aperture. Th f-stop is calculated by dividing the focal length(light path) by the diameter of the aperture.

Each step in size is called a stop. If you change from an aperture f/20 to f/21 then you have increased your aperture one stop. Each step in speed for the shutter is also known as a stop.
There is a reciprocal relationship between the shutter speed and the aperture. To maintain the same exposure value, if you change one you’ll need to change the other in the opposite direction. If you add light with the shutter, you need to take away light with the aperture. In photography, we call this reciprocity.
Auto automatically sets the aperture and the shutter speed. Programmed auto allows you to set the exposure. Shutter priority mode allows you to set the shutter manually and the camera matches the aperture to this setting. Aperture priority mode allows you to set the aperture and it automatically sets the shutter to match this. The Manual mode allows the photographer to be in total control of the aperture and shutter settings.
Metering is

The lightning bolt is for the flash. Autoflash, autoflash with red-eye reduction, fill-flash, fill-flash with red-eye reduction, slow sync with red-eye reduction, and flash cancel. The photos are brighter when the flash is on, and sometimes it enhances or ruins the pictures. It slows down the image so that the image doesn't turn out blurry. 2 seconds. 4 seconds. So the picture isn't blurry and too bright. It's to allow the camera to focus as close as 1 cm. You can get one centimeter close the object. Yes. Well you can but you shouldn't. The running man is for moving objects/ action pictures. The face is for portraits. The mountains are for landscape. The Sun is for sunsets. Night portrait is for night scenes. The portrait really captures the features of the person than the auto mode. When the using the auto on a moving object the picture comes out blurry but when you use the action mode the picture is pretty perfect. Changing the picture quality and image.
