Lesson 4 Course Agenda Controlling Motion Shutter Speeds Controlling Depth of Field - Apertures Summary Course Interaction Q & A
Why learn about controlling motion? Lack of Creative Control Limited Creative Potential Lack of Confidence in Skills Inconsistent Results
Why learn about controlling depth of field? Unable to fulfil your creative vision Lack of ability to control exposure Lack of photographic vocabulary

Shutter in DSLR
Shutter in DSLR Mirror in up position Shutter position Sensor Light entering the lens
Shutter Speeds The cameras shutter controls the duration that light is entering the camera and exposing the sensor. The length of time that the shutter is open is known as the shutter speed If we need more light The shutter will be open for a longer duration If we need less light the shutter will be open for a shorter duration Shutter Speeds are measured in seconds and fractions of a second
Common Shutter Speeds Slower 1/4-1/8-1/15-1/30-1/60-1/125-1/250-1/500-1/1000-1/2000-1/4000-1/8000 Faster
How Shutter Speeds appear on the camera Fractions of a second 2-4 - 8-15 - 30-60 - 125-250 - 500-1000 - 2000-4000 - 8000 Seconds 1 2 4 8-15 30

Apertures in Action
F Stops Apertures are expressed as F. Numbers or F Stops Each lens will have a certain range of standard aperture sizes
Common Apertures F Stops F/1 F/1.4 F/2 F/2.8 F/4 F/5.6 F/8 F/11 F/16 F/22 F/32
