Shutter Speeds

Using the shutter Speed to express Movement.

The Aperture acts like an irisThe Aperture controls amount of light entering the Camera and the Depth of Field

Aperture Controls the Depth of Field Depth of Field - Area of the picture that is in focus

Depth of FieldArea in the picture that is in focusControlled by distance from subject

Controlled by ApertureControlled by Distance

Depth of FieldControlled by the focal length size (type) of lens

A given type of film always needs an exact amount of light for a proper exposure.

As a photographer you determine the way the film receives the light by combining fstops and shutter speedsto give the picture the effect you want.

MeteringA light meter always wants to give you an average reading or middle grey.

Subtractive Color - determined by the reflection of light waves to the eyeMixing paint pigments is a subtractive color system

Each secondary color is composed of equal amounts of adjacent primary colors. G + R = YR + B = MG + B = C

Each color is complementary to the color opposite.Primary colors of lightAdditive Colour R G B

In 1666, Isaac Newton passed a beam of sunlight through a glass prism breaking it into a rainbow of colors that form the visible spectrum. He then passed the rainbow through a second prism converting the colors back into white light.When light is refracted each wavelength is bent to a different degree separating the light into different bands of color.It is the wavelength of light that determines its color.

Colour is determined by the lighttemperature.Film must be balanced for the light source or coloured filtersmust be used to achieve realistic colour.Daylight film is balanced for5500 KIndoor film or tungsten colour film is balanced for 3400 K type A or 3200 K type B
