 TED TALK REFLECTION:

Photography is the science, practice, and art of making long-lasting images by capturing light, either electronically with an image sensor or chemically with a light-sensitive material like photographic film. Along with its more obvious applications in art, film and video production, leisure activities, hobbies, and mass communication, it is used in numerous scientific, manufacturing, and business fields. To create a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects. Each pixel on an electronic image sensor generates an electrical charge, which is processed electronically and stored in a digital image file for later display or processing. According to the intended use of the photographic material and the processing technique, the result of using photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image that is later chemically “developed” into a visible image, either negative or positive. By using an enlarger or contact printing, a negative film image is traditionally used to produce a positive image on a paper support, known as a print.

What is aperture, shutter speed and ISO? 

Aperture: controls the area over which light can enter your camera. Shutter speed: controls the duration of the exposure. ISO speed: controls the sensitivity of your camera’s sensor to a given amount of light. 

1. When would you need to change your ISO? 

When shooting in low-light conditions 

1. What are aperture and shutter priority settings? 

Aperture Priority lets you choose the aperture setting you want, but the camera chooses the shutter speed. Shutter Priority lets you choose the shutter speed you want, but the camera chooses the aperture setting. 

1. What are AF modes how do you change them? 

Set the lens to AF mode. Most brands have a button on the lens and the camera body to switch between AF and MF mode. Press the shutter button halfway down or the AF-ON button if you use back-button focus to focus on your subject. 

1. Why do you need to meter the light to get the right exposure? 

light metering will give you consistently correct exposure results, because it won’t be fooled by subject reflectivity. 

1. What is white balance and why would you need to change it? 

White balance is a camera setting that adjusts the color balance of light you’re shooting in so that it appears a neutral white. 

1. What is depth of field and what is the difference between shallow and good? 

Depth of field is the area of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the subject which the lens is focused on. 

1. What are drive modes and metering modes? 

The metering mode determines which areas of the frame are used by the camera to measure subject brightness and how the camera sets exposure. 

1. What is exposure compensation? 

Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value selected by the camera, making photographs brighter or darker. 

READ AND WRITE:

Photography and videography are at the cutting edge of current technology. There has never been such a high demand for it. The internet has exploded due to the demand for constant content. Every day, new periodicals are launched, and more events than ever require coverage. With the growth of social media, a photographer can now use cutting-edge technology to boost his or her brand. Websites have replaced CVs, and our most recent work has replaced qualifications. It’s always changing, which is great. Within the field, there are numerous options. For many, establishing a career entails being your own employer, as well as your own motivator. For some, this is a nightmare, but for me, the freedom from the constraints of a corporate structure is more than enough motivation. If you’re not excellent at business or would rather have someone else manage your calendar, there’s always the option of hiring a creative agency. In a similar vein, becoming a photographer provides a great lot of versatility. As someone who snaps portraits of all kinds, my job brings me everywhere.
