|
In fractions of a second.

|
Aperture
|
Size of the lens opening.
|
|
|
How is aperture measured?
|
F Stops
|
|
|
Film Speed
|
The rate at which your film reacts to light.
|
|
|
How is film speed measured?
|
In ASA or ISO.
|
|
|
What type of film would one use for low light (fast film or slow film)?
|
Fast
|
|
|
Why is F8 @ 125 equivalent to F11 @ 60?
|
Reciprocal relationship.
|
|
|
What has happened to an overexposed negative?
|
Too much light hit the film.
|
|
|
If your film is gray when developing, what probably happened?
|
The white light was left on.
|
|
|
Negative Space
|
The space around your subject.
|
|
|
Value
|
The amount of reflected light in your photograph (each picture should have 10 values, from white to black).
|
|
|
Composition
|
The way the artist moves your eye around the page.
|
|
|
Why is fast film good for low light?
|
Because you want your film to react quickly - big particles in low light.
|
|
|
What does shutter speed control?
|
Blurriness.
|
|
|
What does aperture control?
|
Depth of field and light (lens opening).

|
|
|
Bracketing
|
Taking several pictures of one subject at different settings.
|
|
|
Reciprocity Failure
|
When the reciprocal relationship breaks down (i.e., goes over 1/1000 or under 1 sec.)
|
|
|
Three things make up a composition
|
1. Positive space (subject)
2. Negative space (space around subject) 3. Value (amt. of reflected light) |
