Photography 1; Period 2

September 16, 2011

What have I learned with taking this class? I have learned many things and basic commands in photography that I didn’t know before. I also now know how to edit pictures using Photoshop.  What is photography? Photography is the process of taking photographs.  The word photography comes from the Greek words of photos which means “light” and graph which means “draw”. What is the rule of thirds? The rule of thirds is a compositional rule in photography. The rule states that the image can be divided into 9 equal parts by 2 equally- spaced horizontal and by 2 equally- spaced vertical lines. How is the shutter speed and aperture used in photography? Shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open.  Aperture is the amount of light that is in the photo. How do we get motion blur and freeze frame in our photos? We get motion blur and freeze frame by changing the shutter speed. The lower the fraction is when you catch the freeze frame. When the seconds are more then you get the motion blur. What are the basic camera shots? The basic camera shots are: EWS, VWS, WS, MS, MCU, CU, and ECU.
