Motion Preview and Major Shoot Assignment

Motion Preview
1. Why slow down your shutter speed?
So the shutter of the camera is open long enough for the sensor to see the movement of the subject.

2. What are the two primary ways to create motion in a photograph?
A long shutter speed and open shutter.

3. Why use a Shutter Priority mode?
Able to select other settings that will make the shot better and give it a better movement effect.

4. What are three primary methods to compensate for long shutter speeds when there is too much light?
Use a small aperture, lowering your ISO, and trying a Neutral Density Filter.

Beautiful Motion Blur Photos



Action Shots And Focus Mode
5. From the Web site, what is a good starting shutter speed range (fastest to slowest) that you should start out with when attempting panning?
1/60 sec and 1/15 sec 

6. From the video, why is the center auto focus point important for panning?
Vid did not work.

7. From the video, why should you use Continuous Drive mode of panning?
Vid did not work.

8. What does the "AI Servo" auto focus mode do?
Catches subject when its moving, focuses it. (best for sports)

9. What are the advantages of shooting in "AI Servo" auto focus mode for sports/action photography?
Freezes and captures the photo when moving to make it a clear shot

10. Why should you consider using Back Button Focus for action photography?
Helps focus on moving subjects to make the photo clear

11. What are some of the challenges of Back Button Focus?
You have to keep holding the back button, & if your trying to take a still pic it will keep focusing because it won't work unless the subject is moving.

RAW Vs. JPEG

Part 1:

1. Good
2. Unexpected file
3. Easier when editing
4. Take advantage of dynamic range
5. Bad: Bigger file size
6. Good:
7. Small size
8. Its supported with more programs
9. More colors
10. Bad:
11. Cannot take full advantage of dynamic range, Doesn't hold quality.

Part 2:
A jpeg a a processed, compressed photo file
a RAW file is a file that hasn't been processed or compressed.

Part 3:

1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera?
all of the data

2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken?
white balance, contrast, highlights etc

3. Under the third heading "Practicalities," what are some of the factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW?
memory card space, as they're big files, not everyone knows how to use a raw file or process a raw file

4. Under the fourth heading "Which one is for you?" why would an aspiring professional photographer need to know how to work with RAW files?
So he can edit his photos, if you can edit your photos they won't look as good (depending on the photo of course, I'm generalizing)

Part 4:

1. Make a list of three occasions it would be better to shoot in RAW.
weddings, when you have a lot of memory card space, when you are doing professional work and know that you're going to edit the photos, senior portraits, Magazines

2. Make a list of three occasions it would be better to shoot in JPEG.
if you're just snapping shots, when you have low memory card space, if you're not going to process it through light room. when you are giving the shots to a client, relative, etc., football games, daily magazine shots.
