Export Practice

.RAW vs .JPEG

.RAW advantages :
- Higher quality
- More contrast
- Can be edited in depth
.RAW disadvantage :
- Uncompressed

.JPEG advantages :
- Small size
- Quick to save
- Doesn't need to be processed usually
.JPEG disadvantage :
- Compressed

A .jpeg file is an easy to use, but this comes at the cost of quality.
A .raw file has more quality, at the cost of time.

A .raw file contains all of the data from the picture, being unprocessed and uncompressed.
With a .raw file you can edit the exposure, white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors and saturation.
When shooting in .raw you must take into account the camera being used, the memory card being used, and if you have the appropriate software.
If you start off with .raw, then you will be more comfortable with it and have more skill with it to help with your professional career.

Occasions to use .RAW

• Professional photoshoots
• The quality needs to be high - landscapes
• Photos for a criminal case 

Occasions to use .JPEG

• Informal events
• If time is of the essence - sporting events 
• You want a lot of photos, quickly - newspaper pictures

Free Shoot Planning

My subject will most likely be flowers on campus, and near my home.
I can shoot on campus, but I will most likely shoot out doors in a field near my house.
I will try to get up earlier than 10 to take photos, and after noon so the light will be more diffused.
Most likely, I will just use a high ISO or low shutter speed and not need a flash.
I might possibly need a different lens, but other than that, I don't believe I will need anything else.
The number of photos will mostly depend on how many things I can find, but will be above three.

Sunny 16 Rule Notes

• The proper exposure is determined by the ISO of the film/sensor setting
• Dawn and dusk are "Golden Hours"
• For 10AM to 5PM the best shutter speed would be 1/100 with an aperture of f/16
• With a sand or snow, the brightness would be increased the aperture should be f/22
• LV = EV 
• Equivalent exposure can be achieved by balancing the aperture and shutter speed
• Equivalent exposure is achieved when different frames that have the same amount of light but different aperture and shutter speed settings 

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

Aperture

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

  The retina in the eye.
2. Finish this sentence: The smaller the Aperture the larger the opening, the higher the Aperture the smaller the opening.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

  The aperture affects the focus of the subject, in the foreground, mid-ground, and background.
4. Using a class camera, list ALL of the F stops available on the lens currently attached.

  f29, f25 f22 f20 f18 f16 f14 f13 f11 f10 f9 f8 f7.1 f6.3 f5.6 f5 f4.5
5. What is the highest and smallest aperture numbers available on the kit lens?

f29 f4.5

Shutter Speed

Reasonable Light

a.) the dunking booth - Fast

b.) the food eating contest - Slow
c.) the rock climbing wall - Medium

d.) someone working at a booth - Slow to Medium
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle - Medium
f.) the Diamonds performance - Fast

Little to no Light

a.) the dunking booth - Medium
b.) the food eating contest - Slower
c.) the rock climbing wall - Slow
d.) someone working at a booth - Slow
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle - Slow
f.) the Diamonds performance - Medium

2. Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Manual all can be used to change the Shutter Speed.

3. The Shutter Speeds available to us on the cameras are: 1/4000, 1/3200, 1/2500, 1/2000, 1/1600, 1/1250, 1/1000, 1/800, 1/640, 1/500, 1/400, 1/320, 1/250, 1/200, 1/160, 1/125, 1/100, 1/80, 1/60, 1/50, 1/40, 1/30, 1/25, 1/20, 1/15, 1/13, 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 0"3, 0"4, 0"5, 0"6, 0"8, 1", 1"3, 1"6, 2", 2"5, 3"2, 4"5, 5", 6", 8",10", 13", 15", 20", 25", 30", Bulb

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 6400

1. You can adjust it to make the picture brighter, at the cost of grain.

2. He suggested we use the default outside, and the lowest when it is dim or dark

3. He suggested we use a higher ISO inside, or when things are brighter

4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
