Basic Photography Workshop
Part I:
• What is Photography? (General definition)
• Why would you choose Photography?
• Types of Photography
• Tools of Photography
• Physical appearance of a DSLR
• Lens (Short overview)
Part II:
• Exposure
• How to manipulate exposure
• Aperture
• Shutter Speed
• ISO
• Mode dials (Short Overview)
• Composition and its Types
• Demonstration
3. What is Photography?
• The art or practice of taking and processing
photographs. – Oxford Dictionary
• Form of Art
• Using light to take shots
• Demonstrate your PERSPECTIVE
73. Types of Camera Lenses (Focal Length)
• Ultra-Wide: Less than 10 mm
• Extreme Wide: 10-21 mm
• Wide: 21-35 mm
• Normal: 35-75 mm
• Medium Telephoto: 75-135 mm
• Telephoto: 135 mm and above
81. Aperture
• Similar to the iris of the eye.
• Opening and closing of the lens.
• Wide opening = more light = bright photo
• Narrow opening = less light = dark photo
82. F-stop number
• Aperture represented by F-stop number.
• Range from f/1.4 – f/32
• F-stop ∝ 1
Opening of lens
• f/1.4 = wide aperture
• f/32 = narrow aperture
86. Depth of Field (DoF)
Area of the image that appears sharp
87. Understanding DoF
• Small f-stop = wide aperture = more light = bright
image = SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD
• Large f-stop = narrow aperture = less light = dark
image = DEEP DEPTH OF FIELD
101. ISO
• International Organization for Standardization.
• Sensitivity of the Image Sensor.
• Lower ISO = Less Sensitivity = Less Light = Dark
Image
• Higher ISO = High Sensitivity = More light = Bright
