25gsierra26284 — 2023-08-18 20:58:02 UTC

A camera obscura is a darkened room with a small hole or lens at one side through which an image is projected onto a wall or table opposite the hole.

F/STOP

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-01 20:23:17 UTC

LENS FOCAL LEGNGTH

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-01 20:24:10 UTC

Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be.

Bokeh is defined as “the effect of a soft out-of-focus background that you get when shooting a subject, using a fast lens, at the widest aperture, such as f/2.8 or wider.” Simply put, bokeh is the pleasing or aesthetic quality of out-of-focus blur in a photograph

AUTO MODE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-08 21:23:30 UTC

Auto mode works exactly the way it sounds: It gives your camera complete control over its various settings, including the ISO, the aperture, the shutter speed, the autofocus mode, and even the flash

PROGRAM MODE

SHUTTER PRIORITY MODE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-08 21:25:32 UTC

Shutter Speed Priority AE, or simply 'Shutter Priority', is a shooting mode whereby the photographer sets the shutter speed, while the camera automatically sets the Aperture.

APERTURE PRIORITY MODE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-08 21:26:02 UTC

In digital photography, camera technology now features modes that can help adjust those settings for you. One of those modes is aperture priority. With it, the photographer selects a specific aperture value and the camera autoselects the proper shutter speed based on how much light it detects.

SHUTTER SPEED

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-15 21:23:15 UTC

Shutter speed is exactly what it sounds like: It's the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure — the amount of light the camera takes in — and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure.

BULB MODE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-15 21:24:02 UTC

The Bulb setting on camera shutters is a momentary-action mode that holds shutters open for as long as a photographer depresses the shutter-release button.

LONG EXPOSURE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-29 21:23:30 UTC

Long exposure photography is the name given to the technique in which the camera's shutter is left open during a somewhat lengthy period of time. The resulting image captures the trail of moving objects in front of the camera, while showing still elements razor sharp.

TIME LAPSE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-29 21:24:01 UTC

Time-lapse photography is used to capture change or movement that occurs over a long period time. In order to capture how a plant grows or a glacier moves, a photographer sets up a camera in a fixed location and takes a single picture at regular time intervals.

LIGHT PAINTING

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-29 21:24:44 UTC

Light painting is the art of creating photos by setting long exposure times on a camera and using a moving light source to “paint.” A light painting photographer opens a camera's shutter and keeps it open as they draw in the air with a light source.

PANNING

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-29 21:25:11 UTC

Panning is a photographic technique that combines a slow shutter speed with camera motion to create a sense of speed around a moving object. It is a way to keep your subject in focus while blurring your background. Panning is typically done on a subject moving horizontally, such as a moving car, or a running dog.

BURST MODE

25gsierra26284 — 2023-11-29 21:25:54 UTC

Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode, continuous mode, or burst shot, is a shooting mode in still cameras where several photos are captured in quick succession by either pressing the shutter button or holding it down.

SPOT METERING

25gsierra26284 — 2023-12-06 21:22:36 UTC

The most precise of the metering modes, spot metering evaluates light around the chosen focus point or centre of the frame. This provides a precise reading from a very small area of the scene, which means it can be a very effective choice for high-contrast situations.

PARTIAL METERING

25gsierra26284 — 2023-12-06 21:24:37 UTC

Partial metering covers only the centre 6.2% of the frame in the viewfinder, thus providing precise metering only for the subject.

CENTER WEIGHTED AVERAGE METERING

25gsierra26284 — 2023-12-06 21:26:02 UTC

Centre-weighted average metering concentrates the metering on the central part of the viewfinder but also takes the rest of the frame into consideration.

Evaluative metering is the mostly used automatic metering mode in everyday photography and can be applied in most shooting scenarios

18% GRAY

25gsierra26284 — 2023-12-06 21:29:17 UTC
