beginner photography questions about aperture and shutter speed?
Okay so I am in a photo 1 class at my school and me and my two friends in that class are kind of the teachers pets. we all really love that class and she loves us. I really like photography but I have had some bad luck with it so far and i don't want to embarrass myself further by asking this question to my teacher
so I understand how aperture and shutter speed work and what you do but i do not understand how you decide how to set them.
we are shooting landscapes and patters in nature. I will be shooting mid day tomorrow.
I know you want a larger aperture to create depth of field but i don't know how large. and if i have a large aperture i want a faster shutter speed but i don't know how fast
I have a Minolta X-370 35mm camera. My teacher also said we have to set it manually and can't use the auto feature
how do you convert light conditions to numbers with shutter speed and aperture?
When you are going to shoot an image, consider your subject. The shutter is concerned with movement. The aperture is concerned with depth of field.
A faster shutter will "freeze" motion, a slower one will let it blur. And every step in between.
A SMALL aperture (the larger the number, the smaller the aperture) like f22 will give you a greater depth of field. A large aperture (f 2.8) will give you a shallow depth of field. And gradations along the way.
So, first you consider your subject. Is there movement? If so, decide if you want it frozen or blurred - and how much - and set the shutter speed accordingly. Then set the aperture and ISO to give you enough light for a proper exposure.
If there is no movement, set the aperture to give you the depth of field you want then set the shutter and ISO to provide enough light.
Hope this helps,
Dan
