Digital Photography

1) Exposure Setting
- In photography, exposure is the amount of light which reacher your camera sensor or film.

- IRIS, SHUTTER SPEED and ISO 
- Shutter speed and aperture affect the actual "luminous exposure" of an image.
- ISO affects the brightness of the photos.

IRIS:
- Iris/Aperture controls the flow of light entering the lens.
- It is measured by f-stop. The lower the f-number, the larger the lens opening.

SHUTTER:
- The shutter is a small plastic sheet that opens and closes to allow light onto the film or prevent light from reaching the film.
- Shutter speed is measured in seconds.

ISO:
- For digital photography, ISO refers to the sensitivity of the camera's sensor.
- The lower of the number of ISO the less sensitive your camera is to light and finer the grain.

2) Lens Perspective

There are: Wide angle lens, standard lens and tele lens.

- Lenses can be catagorised by 'Focal Length'.

FOCAL LENGTH:
- The shorter the focal length, the wider the angle of view.
- Focal length is the measurement (in mm) from the optical center of a camera lens to the camera's sensors.

(08/05/23)

DEPTH OF FIELD:
- The proportion of the image that is reasonably sharp and in focus.
- The smaller the aperture you use, the greater the depth of field.

WIDE ANGLE LENSES:
- Wide angle lenses are ideal for fitting a large area into your frame.
- Especially useful for landscape photography or street photography.

(08/05/23)

STANDARD LENSES:
- Standard lenses offer a fairly accurate perspective of what the human eye sees.
- It is more natural.

TELE LENSES:
- Tele lenses are good for far away objects.

3) DSLR vs SMARTPHONES
- DSLR cameras are designed to capture images. Phones are designed to carry out a multitude of functions.
- Phone cameras are limited by size. DSLR have much larger lenses and sensors.

PROJECT 1B - PART 1: HEARST MANSION

This project is the Hearst Mansion project. We basically need to use the image given (Shazam) and place him into a mansion. The tools that this exercise requires are: Quick Selection Tool, Layer Mask, Filters and Colour Correction.

This is the Hearst Mansion exercise we had to do before creating our own version.

Fig. 5.3.2 Hearst Mansion (Own version)

This is my own version of the Hearst Mansion exercise. It is basically the same thing as the 'Shazam' version but with a picture of myself instead.

FINAL DIGITIZATION (OWN VERSION)
