Portrait Photography Preview

1. The environment where the portrait is taken is an important consideration on portrait photography because it can greatly influence the final picture and determine what are you focusing on the most.
2. Portrait photographers should be using "Aperture Priority" mode or full manual because it makes the picture have excellent exposure and visual effect.
3. Portraits reveal a subjects character by making the photo more effective and make their message more communicated.
4. The photographer can help the subject while taking portraits by telling them what is the right attitude they want that picture to come off to.

Aperture and Shutter Speed Practice

Set 1 and Set 2:
f/4- 1/125 really blurry
f/5.6- 1/60 kind of blurry
f/8- 1/60 dark and blurry
f/11- 1/60 darker, kind of blurry, visible
f/16- 1/30 kind of sharp, visible
f/22- 1/8 bright and clear, visible
Set 3:
1. The slower the shutter speed, the blurrier the picture.
2. Change the shutter speed higher so it would be clear.
3. The best one would be a aperture of f/22 and a shutter of 1/8

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

Aperture
1. The eyes
2. The smaller the Aperture, the bigger the opening in the lens is and the larger the Aperture, the smaller the opening in the lens is.
3. The aperture impacts the Depth of Fields by the sharpness of the photo.
4. f/4.5.f/5,f/5.6,f/6.3,f/7.1,f/8,f/9,f/10,f/11,f/13,f/14,f/16,f/18,f/20,f/22,f/25,f/29
5. Highest- f/29 and Lowest- f/4.5

Shutter Speed
1. Beginning       End
a-Fast              a-Slow
b-Medium       b-Med
c-Fast              c-Slow
d-Medium       d-Fast
e-Medium        e-Fast
f-Fast               f-Slow
2. Aperture, Aperture Priority, Manual
3.1/4,1/5,1/6,1/8,1/10,1/13,1/15,1/20,1/25,1/30,1/40,1/50,1/60,1/80,1/100,1/125,1/160,1/200,1/250,1/320,1/400,1/500,1/640,1/800,1/1000,1/1250, 1/1600,1/2000,1/2500,1/3200,1/4000
                 High Shutter                                        Low Shutter                   


ISO
1. It makes the pictures more vintage and vivid.
2. When there is plenty of light use a low ISO.
3. When there is not enough light, it is best to use a high ISO.
4. Auto, 100, 200. 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
                   ISO 200
