Technical Camera Terms

 

The contact sheet below demonstrates different angles and compositions used with a DSLR, previous to this photo we learnt about how to utilise an aperture(F-stop) and shutter speed to its best ability. Apertures affect the depth of field (what the camera is focused on), for example if you were taking a long shot and wanted everything to be in focus with would use F22 but if you wanted to have a strong depth of field you would use F2.8. On the other hand shutter speed can be used to stop action or create a sense of movement in a photo, for example if you were taking a picture of a sport car you would set it to a very high shutter speed if you wanted it to be sharp and in focus, although if you wanted to create a sense of movement you would have to set it to a slow shutter speed to it blurs slightly.If we had set all these correctly the photo would be exposed well and would look good. All the images below used angle and framing to create a narrative for the audience. This will impact when I come to take photos for my magazine as I will know how to create a narrative just from a photograph, without words being used.
