Photography: Exercise 1
Exercise
- ·
Put the camera in auto
mode and half press the shutter. While looking through the viewfinder, pan
around a scene and see how the automatically selected camera settings – f ratio
and shutter speed – change. This preview will disappear after a few seconds, so
half press the shutter again for another look.
- ·
Set the camera in shutter
priority mode and choose a shutter speed for effect, eg: short for sports, long
for motion blur. Shoot different scenes and note how the camera adjusts the
aperture to balance the exposure.
- ·
Do the same as above for
aperture – wide for shallow depth of field, narrow for focus detail at all
distances.
- ·
Get adventurous and put
the camera on full manual. Adjust the camera settings yourself, and watch the
arrow below the exposure meter. Tweak the settings to get the arrow in the
middle of the meter – half press the shutter while looking at your scene to
take a meter reading.
- ·
Try to apply what you have
learned to make creative photos that take advantage of the different exposure
modes.
