Printing techniques(burning and dodging)

Image
1. Burning techniques It is a technique that increase exposure to a paper so that the burned area would be darker.  material: a cardboard. 2. Dodging techniques It decreases exposure to a paper so that the dodged area would be lighter. material: coat hanger wire

assignment 3 (learning exposure stops and depth-of-view)

Image
part 1 of this assignment is to try different stops of exposure in order to familiar with how dark or how bright a photo presents of each stops of exposure.   With a lower stop of exposure, a brighter a photo is. With a higher stop of exposure, a darker a photo is. This the result of a "0" exposure! which is the proper exposure. Part 2 is to learn two different types of depth-of-view. One is deep depth-of-view, one is shallow depth-of-view. This is a photo shows a shallow depth-of-view, which is only a part of the frame is in focus, while the rest is rendered blurry. This is a photo shows a deep depth-of-view, which is a larger area in focus, both fore and back area can be focused. After finished this assignment, I can understand how a proper exposure is created. Also, I can take a picture of objects that I want to focus on by adjusting aperture to create shallow-depth-of-view. It is so much fun to do an assignment that is experimental. Thus it helps us to understand the fund...

Aperture, iso and shutter speed

Image
Aperture  It refers to  the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. It is written as f/stop, which the numbers are 3.5, 5.6, 8,11,16 (based on Nikon FM 10). Basically, with a lower f/stop, a more shallow depth of field occurs. Meanwhile, with a higher f/stop, a deeper depth of field occurs.  Iso It refers to a camera's light sensitivity. The iso values are 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 1000, 1600, 3200  (based on Nikon FM 10). With a higher value , the brighter the photos are. Also, the photos become more grainy.  Shutter speed It refers to speed at which the shutter of the camera close. Shutter speed of Nikon FM10 are 1/1 to 1/2000. Faster shutter speed has a shorter exposure, slower shutter speed has a longer exposure. A faster shutter speed is suitable for taking action photography in order to capture a sharper result.
