Photography Assignment 3/9-3/13

Notes:

• Understanding exposure separates photographers from picture takers!
• Exposure occurs any time that light reaches your film or digital sensor.
• A good exposure accurately represents light and color throughout your image.
• An underexposed image generally appears dark and has loss of detail in the darkest areas.
• An overexposed image generally appears too bright and has loss of detail in the brightest areas.
• Quality and quantity of exposure can be manipulated in your camera with the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
• No singular exposure exists for any given situation. There are always multiple combinations of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO that will result in the same exposure.

Assignment:

• Write a magazine article that thoroughly defines and explains exposure.
• Include in your article an explanation of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
• There is no required length for your article, but it must do a great job explaining these topics. 500 words is probably a pretty good estimate.
• You must include 6 pictures taken by you specifically for this assignment in your article.
• Cite any sources!
• You will have 3 full class periods to complete this assignment including the 6 pictures. Get to work!
