• Size of the shutter hole

• Also called f-stop (example: f/3.5)

• Allows more or less light in

• Controls Depth of Field (Background Blur)

• The larger the opening of the aperture, the smaller the number set on your camera.

• Setting your DSLR to the AV setting allows you to control aperture while the camera auto sets the others.

• Larger apertures (smaller numbers) allow for a smaller depth of field, limiting the objects in focus.

• How long the shutter stays open

• Measured in 1/x of a second

• Faster: Stop Action (Sports), less light

• Slower: more light, blur

• The bigger the denominator, the faster the speed (ie: 1/1000 is much faster than 1/30)

• Setting your camera to the TV mode allows you to control the shutter speed while the camera auto sets the other controls.

STEP 2 - PRACTICE• By the end of class today, take two photos

that demonstrate thought and understanding of aperture and shutter speed.

Page 12: Aperture & Shutter Speed. STEP 1 - LEARN In this lesson, you will learn about using aperture and shutter speed while taking photos.

• Photo 1: Change the aperture (f/stop) settings on the camera and take a photo that demonstrates shallow depth of field.

• Photo 2: Change the shutter speed (1/X) settings on the camera to capture a subject in action.

• Don’t forget to use photo composition techniques like Rule of Thirds, bird’s/worm’s-eye view, etc!

PRACTICE: APERTURE & SHUTTER SPEED

Page 13: Aperture & Shutter Speed. STEP 1 - LEARN In this lesson, you will learn about using aperture and shutter speed while taking photos.

STEP 3 - DO• Over the course of the next week, take

four photos, to be used in the yearbook, that demonstrate your understanding of aperture and shutter speed.

Page 14: Aperture & Shutter Speed. STEP 1 - LEARN In this lesson, you will learn about using aperture and shutter speed while taking photos.

• Photos 1 & 2: Each must demonstrate the use of aperture to make the Center of Visual Interest (CVI) stand out.

• Photos 3 & 4: Each photo must demonstrate the use of shutter speed to stop a subject in motion.

• Write down the aperture/shutter speed you used for each photo and create a caption for each that includes the setting.

• Submit your photos electronically using PowerPoint, Prezi or Google Slides.
