LONDON LIFE - Exposure

What does the word

photography mean?

PHOTO - LIGHT
GRAPHY - DRAWING

What is exposure?

What is exposure?
The amount of light going into your camera

ISO
APERTURE
SHUTTER SPEED

ISO - Film speed/sensitivity to light

Lower ISO

Higher ISO

Less sensitive to light

More sensitive to light

Finer grain and better colour

quality

Grainier

Best for capturing portraits or

landscapes
A tripod is needed to stabilise the
camera for longer exposures

Best for capturing in low-light

conditions and for action shots

ISO

ISO

Lower ISO (100)

Better colour depth
Less grainy
More atmospheric quality

Higher ISO (3200)

More exposed to light
Grainy
Less colour depth

ISO RULES
Use an ISO of 100/200 when taking photographs
outside in sunny conditions
If the sky is overcast, it is evening time or you are in a
darkened room use an ISO of 400-800
Night time shots may need an ISO of 1600 and/or you
may need to take a long exposure using a tripod

SHUTTER SPEED

Which photo is taken using the slowest shutter speed?

SHUTTERSHUTTER
SPEED
SPEED

Faster shutter speed

1/60

Slower shutter speed

3 sec

SHUTTER SPEED

Longer exposures using slower shutter speeds can capture motion

effectively, but you need to use a tripod!

Aperture - Size of the lens opening

The size of the lens opening (f number)

The lower the aperture

(f number) the bigger the lens
opening.

The higher the aperture

(f number) the smaller the
lens opening.

APERTURE

The lower aperture eg. f/2 (bigger

the lens opening) the more
focus will be on just the
foreground.

The smaller the lens opening

(higher aperture eg.f/20) the
more in focus all of the image
will be

APERTURE

Which photo is taken using a higher aperture (smaller lens opening)?

APERTURE

Bigger aperture
F/2.8
More depth
Only foreground is in focus

Smaller aperture
F/22
Background and foreground are
in focus

Group Task
Create 2 series in response to the work of
John Hilliard. Use the same composition for
each series.
Exposure Series
(At least 9)

Focus Series (3)

Manipulate your
focal point using
manual focus

Using the same

ISO, gradually
change your
aperture and
shutter speed to
create a tonal
series.
This must include
the correct
exposure.
