Photography Flashcards
The order in a camera
lens, aperture, shutter, sensor
What is Shutter Speed?
How fast the shutter on the camera opens and closes.
What happens when the shutter is open for longer and closes slower?
More light passes through the shutter, the image will be better exposed and the camera will capture more movement.
What happens when the shutter is open for shorter and closes faster?
Less light will enter the shutter, resulting in a less exposed photo and less movement being captured by the camera.
What does an Aperture/F-Stop do?
Along with the shutter and ISO, an aperture helps regulate how much light enters the camera lens; if the hole is larger, more light will enter, and if it is smaller, less light will enter (the smaller the F-stop #, the more light can enter).
Difference between AF (Auto-Focus) and Manual Focus.
AF picks the object closes to the camera to focus on, while Manual focus allows you to pick what object you want to focus on.
What is white balance?
White balance white balance balances the color temperature in your image. It adds the opposite color to the image in an attempt to bring the color temperature back to neutral. Instead of whites appearing blue or orange, they should appear white after correctly white balancing an image.
What is ISO?
The ISO setting on a camera can lighten or darken a picture. Your pictures will become brighter as you raise your ISO setting. As a result of this, ISO enables you to take pictures in low-light conditions.
Shallow depth of field
Focuses on one things and blurs everything else
Deep/Greater depth of field
keeps more parts of the images clear and sharp
What causes Red-Eye in photos?
When the flash fires, light reflects off the blood in the capillaries in the back of the subject’s eyes and back into the camera lens because of the subjects close proximity to the camera lens, which causes light from the subject to be reflected directly back at the camera.
