Hermione Pen and Path


Triangle of Exposure

ISO- a digital scale that determines the photographic film's sensitivity to light
Shutter Speed - The speed at which a camera's shutter opens and closes, bringing in more or less light.
Aperture - a hole in the camera that opens and closes, changing the amount of light that gets into the photo
Depth of Field - the range of the image that remains sharp and clear
Motion Blur - the apparent streaking of rapidly moving objects in a still image
Noise and Light Sensitivity - The lower the sensitivity, the finer the grain and the more light that is needed.

Print Versus Digital Photography

Positives of Print Photography:

1. The photographer puts more thought into each photograph because there are only a limited number of pictures that they can take.

2. The black-and-white photos turn out with more detail than when taken with a digital camera.

3. Film cameras are more durable and can be used for decades to come.

4. Mistakes made when taking photos with a film camera can actually make the photo better and authentic.

5. Film is just as high if not higher in resolution compared with digital.

Negatives of Print Photography:

1. The camera body is very heavy.

2. A blackroom is needed to develop photos.

3. You can only take a limited amount of photos.

4. You have to wait until the photos are developed before you can tell if it was a successful shot or not.

5. There are a lot of mistakes to be made.  Ex. You cannot copen the camera when the film is in, and you have to be careful of light exposure to film.

Positives of Digital Photography:

1. You can a lot of pictures on one memory card.

2. You can change the film speed on each photo.

3. You get immediate access to photos taken.

4. Easy ability to use built in filters. Ex. landscapes, portraits...

5. The editing is very easy using Photoshop and other softwares.
