UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY- Texture/colour/shape

These are basic ways to enhance your photos

Texture
-focus on the form of the photo (the way it looks)
-e.g. trees, you don't have to capture them entirely
-isolate separate things e.g. leaves
-texture can product some fascinating pictures
-you can add texture later on

Colour
-choose colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel
-use contrast on contrast and saturation yo give a dynamic feel
-three primary colours (red, green and blue) give energy and impact to the image
-RED is ht strongest and can dominate a photo, even a small amount!!

Shapes
-used to make our photography stronger
-shapes can be real or made up
-looked beyond the obvious

OUR TASK:
Is to take 10 photos of texture and colour (5 of each)
If using a school camera, you need to book in advance

UNIT 57: PHOTOGRAPHY- What is Aperture?

'The size of of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken'
-When  you hit the shutter release bottom of your camera a hole opens up that allows your cameras image sensor to catch a glimpse of the scene opening to capture

Aperture measure in "f-stops"/f-number

-Moving from one f-stop to the next doubles or halves the size of the amount off opening in your lens and the amount of light getting through
-Depth of field is= the amount of your shot that will be in focus
Shallow depth of field= small part in focus
Large depth of field= large part in focus

-Some styles of photography requires large depths of field (and small apertures)

Large aperture - portrait photos f2.8 to f5.6
Small aperture - landscape photos f16 to f32
