1. Using the Camera Controls Creating Depth and Enhancing Motion

2. Using the Camera Controls It’s all about Control! Control what we see in your photograph Control how much is in focus Control how still a moving subject is Control, control, control!

3. Shutter Speed DialAperture Ring

4. Using the Camera Controls The aperture controls how much of the scene is in focus. The shutter speed controls how movement looks in the photograph.

5. Aperture Controls Focus f-stop = “focus” stop 22 16 11 8 5.6 4 2.8 2 Aperture Ring

6. Aperture Controls Focus The aperture controls how much of the scene is in focus. “f-stop” means “focus” stop. f-stop determines the depth of field in a photograph.

7. Depth of Field The area of acceptable focus in a photograph. In other words, how much of the scene is in focus.

8. Depth of Field Shallow Depth of Field: Limited focus. Use a “large” opening with a small f-stop number. f 4, f 2.8, f 2 give shallow depth of field.

9. Shallow Depth of Field Limited focus. “Large”opening with a small f-stop number. f 4, f 2.8, f 2 give very shallow depth of field. Charles Porter

10. Shallow Depth of Field Limited focus. “Large”opening with a small f-stop number. f 4, f 2.8, f 2 give shallow depth of field. Neil Leifer

11. Shallow Depth of Field Limited focus. “Large”opening with a small f-stop number. f 4, f 2.8, f 2 give shallow depth of field. Henri Cartier-Bresson

12. Depth of Field Great Depth of Field: Most of scene is in focus. Use a “small”opening with a large f-stop number. f 22, f 16 give great depth of field.

13. Great Depth of Field Most, if not all, of the scene is in focus. Use a “small” opening with a large f-stop number. f 22, f 16 give great depth of field. Ansel Adams

14. Great Depth of Field Most, if not all, of the scene is in focus. Use a “small” opening with a large f-stop number. f 22, f 16 give great depth of field. Ansel Adams

15. Great Depth of Field Most, if not all, of the scene is in focus. Use a “small” opening with a large f-stop number. f 22, f 16 give great depth of field. Neil Leifer

16. Which? Shallow or Great Depth of Field? Henri Cartier-Bresson Most of scene in focus. “Small”opening with a large f-stop number. Which f-stops?

17. Which? Shallow or Great Depth of Field? Art Wolfe Limited focus. “Large”opening with a small f-stop number. Which f-stops?

18. Which? Shallow or Great Depth of Field? John Sexton Most of scene in focus. “Small”opening with a large f-stop number. Which f-stops?

19. Which? Shallow or Great Depth of Field? Margaret Bourke-White Most of scene in focus. “Small”opening with a large f-stop number. Which f-stops?

20. Which? Shallow or Great Depth of Field? Yuri Bonder Limited focus. “Large”opening with a small f-stop number. Which f-stops?

21. Which? Shallow or Great Depth of Field? Gordon Parks Limited focus, but recognizable. “Medium”opening with a medium f-stop number. Which f-stops?

22. Depth of Field Great Depth of Field All of scene in focus Use f22 or f16 Medium Depth of Field Much of scene in focus Use f11, f8, f5.6 Shallow Depth of Field Little of scene in focus Use f4, f2.8, f2

24. Using the Camera Controls The aperture controls how much of the scene is in focus. The shutter speed controls how movement looks in the photograph.

25. Controlling Motion in a Photo Use the shutter speed dial to control motion Faster shutter speeds freeze motion Slower shutter speeds blur motion

26. Motion Effects Stop Action Motion Blur Panning

27. Motion Effects Stop Action – use fast shutter speed to freeze motion 1/250 th of a second is the minimum speed to freeze average motion. B 1 2 4 8 15 30 60 125 250 500 1000

28. Stop Action

31.  Fast Shutter speed  At least 250  Frozen Motion  Shoot in bright light

32. Motion Effects Motion Blur – use slow shutter speed to blur motion 1/30 th of a second is the maximum speed to freeze average motion USE A TRIPOD so only the subject is blurred B 1 2 4 8 15 30 60 125 250 500 1000

33. Motion Blur

35.  Slow Shutter Speed  At most 30  Blurry Motion  Use a Tripod

36. Motion Effects Panning – use slow shutter speed to blur motion 1/15 or 1/8 th of a second produces the best effect, depending on how fast the subject is moving MOVE THE CAMERA WITH THE SUBJECT so the background is streaked B 1 2 4 8 15 30 60 125 250 500 1000

37. Panning

39.  Slow Shutter speed  At most 30  Streaked background  Move camera with subject
