Aperture, Sutter Speed, and ISO

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO



1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture _____________, the higher the Aperture ________________.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?


1. the pupil
2.the smaller aperture the more blurry the background is, the higher the Aperture the less blurry the background is.
3. The subject or what ever is close to your camera is is more sharp and makes your background blurry




1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hot dogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard
e.) people streaming in from the front doors
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop


a. fast
b.fast
c.slow
d.fast
e.fast
f.slow



Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard
e.) people streaming in from the front doors
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop


a. slow
b.slow
c.slow
d.slow.
e.fast
f.slow

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words


Manuel: when you set the shutter speed all by your self
Auto: when the camera decides what the shutter speed should be and you don't have to mess with it
Shutter Priority: when you choose a specific shutter speed and the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure the right amount of light exposure




1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

1.It makes the picture more brighter and more clear
2. use it whenever possible and when your in a lot of light
3. use it when light is minimal and when you want noise in your picture
