Shutter Speed

ISO: Film Speed

ISO is the film speed of the camera. This is how fast or slow the camera reacts to the light that the picture is being taken in. In class we experimented with the different ISO film speeds. We used flash, ISO 50, ISO 400, and ISO 5000. When flash was used it made the christmas ligths look like they were not on. The next photo used ISO 50 and you can barely tell that Anthony is sitting right in front of the camera. Next was ISO 400, now you can kinda see him but it looks blurry. Last was ISO 5000, now you can see Anthony completely and see that the christmas lights are on. Choosing and changing the ISO instead of just using flash would come in handy when taking pictures outside and the lighting isnt the best. So the camera will pull in whatever light there is, but the camera has to be set to the right ISO otherwise its not going to look as great as you might have wanted it to.

Fill in Flash Experiment

Fill in flash is the lightening bolt that represents flash on a camera. This means that no matter what when taking a picture the flash will go off. Even if you are outside in the bright sun the flash will still go off. For example if you are outside taking portrait pictures dark shawdows will be created. Using fill in flash gives the camera enough light and the camera will meter the background. My photos are examples of this because they were taken outside in the sun and there was a shawdow over the my partners face. Then using the fill in flash created light where there wasnt any before in the foreground of the picture.
