Week 1

Here's what I have in a folder from the first week. If there was something that we looked at that you don't see here, make a comment below and I'll add it.

Aperture and f/stops


Depth of Field

Don't forget the Sunny 16 Rule: f/16 @ 1/____th (shutter) @/equal to ISO.
Exposure for sunny day using ISO 200 would be f/16 @ 1/250th.

Then carry that over into reciprocity. How to get the same exposure using different values on those three controls. Meaning f/16 @ 1/250th @ 200 is equal to f/4 @ 1/2,000th @ 100.

All of that works into the use of Ansel Adams' Zone System to get better exposures and resulting prints for difficult lighting situations.
