Unit 2:Materials Techniques & Processes Revision 


Camera & basic photography:
  •  Health & safety issues relating to location based activities (inc. personal safety, batteries etc.).

  •  Digital SLR camera design and operation (Inc. advantages & disadvantages etc.)
Like all things in life,a DSLR has its own pros and cons but the pro's outweigh the cons by a considerable margin......

Disadvantages:

1. Weight: Nearly 2-3x the weight of a regular camera and lugging around for hours puts tremendous pressure on your neck and shoulder muscles.

2. Size: Unfortunately for lugging around, a DSLR is not most ergonomic piece of equipment to carry around and you have to be careful not to hit the lens(especially telephoto) against any object which could damage the lens.

3. Difficulty in achieving simple tasks: Changing simple setting like ISO and enabling or suppressing the flash feels like a major accomplishment in the beginning.so be prepared to read and then re-read the manual.

4. Weight: Deja vu! No not exactly. That was physical and objective weight. This is psychological and subjective. I'm talking about the weight of expectations from friends and family. And you yourself. Everyone feels that now that you have a DSLR, you should be not only be capturing the "perfect picture" but hundreds of such "perfect pictures".

Advantages:

1. Quicker start times: Never experience the frustration of watching the perfect picture slip away in front of your eyes because the camera took time to start up.

2. Clearer photos: Due to larger sensor sizes,images are more detailed and clearer

3. Faster focusing and minimal shutter delays makes sure that you'll never blame the camera for missing out on the

4. Manual Overrides: Almost all functions in DSLRs can be overridden right from ISO speeds,colour balance and temperature,flash outputs and autofocus modes.

5. Continuous Shooting: This a major advantage as you can actually see what your clicking in the 'high speed shooting mode' as the shutter return is fast enough to provide a live image through the viewfinder of whats happening thus making it possible to follow subjects.

6. Low noise: Since the sensor is larger,there is a considerable reduction in noise so taking photos in low light at ISO speeds of 400-800 can be achieved without a major loss in quality.

7. Choice of lenses and filters and flashes can add that little extra 'wow' factor to makes your photos stand out from the rest.
  •  Digital SLR camera menu features (Inc. Size, ISO, WB, Formatting etc.)

  •  Basic compact digital camera design and operation (Inc. advantages & disadvantages, time lag, focussing distance etc.)

  •  Exposure control system – aperture & shutter relationship.




  •  ISO system and control.

ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera.

ISO & Shutter Speed Example:

ISO 100 – 1 second
ISO 200 – 1/2 of a second
ISO 400 – 1/4 of a second
ISO 800 – 1/8 of a second
ISO 1600 – 1/16 of a second
ISO 3200 – 1/32 of a second

More light, use lower ISO e.g. ISO100/ISO200(Best ISO and less noise compared to iso's higher than 200)
  •  Aperture and control of Depth of Field.

  •  Shutter and control of Movement.

  •  Priority modes – aperture/shutter.

  •  Lenses – Standard, wide angle, long focal length.

  •  Composition.

  •  Characteristics and use of natural light.

  •  Accessories – Tripods/lens hoods.

  •  In camera flash.
Digital/IT & basic photography:

• Health & safety issues relating to use of hardware and software (inc. screen
viewing time etc.).

Production:

• Camera Colour Space.


• Camera Resolution/Quality.


• Camera Setting Date and Time (importance of)


• Formatting Card.


• Camera Card Types.


• White Balance


• Production


• Print Resolution to suit output


• Storage Devices.


• Media Type (Different weights/gsm of Paper)


• Re-sizing images.


• Differences between Dots Per Inch (DPI) and Pixels Per Inch (PPI)


• Different File Formats


• Lossy and Lossless Files.


• Histograms relating to exposure.
