Getting more out of your camera



Exposure

Is all about how much light goes into the sensor on the camera in one picture.

if the camera is exposed for too long it will be called a wash out and if the picture is exposed for no time at all this will be come out really dark. In my pictures i would say that the exposure being on high when there is a lot of light is bad because the picture will come out very bright and it won't be easy to see what you are looking at. 

task 1 normal exposure



task 1 high exposure

task 1 low exposure

Flash
The flash in a picture is artificial light, flash should only be used when you are in a dark environment rather than when you are outside, flash should also be used for taking pictures of objects that are close instead of miles away because the flash won't be noticed on a long distance picture. In my picture the flash should not have been used because you won't be able to see yourself when taking a picture in the mirror because the flash gets in the way.

task 2 flash off

 White balance
White balance is all about the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that objects that appear white in person will be rendered in the picture when taken. in my pictures you can see that when the white balance was used. It changed my picture so that it had a tint of blue on it this can improve my picture in many ways but sometimes the original picture is good enough.

ISO
Iso is about how much light your camera needs to take the best picture. if you have lots of light a low iso would be fine, the more light the higher the iso. In my picture i would of needed the low iso because i was outside where lots of light could get into my camera.

task 4 ISO 100

task 4 ISO 800

AF mode
Is auto focus mode, the camera should automatically focus on a certain object and then it should blur out the background. In my pictures i would say that it helped because it made my dr dre beats stand out when the camera focused on them rather than the background.

Burst
Burst mode is taking a bunch of pictures rapidly instead of taking 1 by 1, this is good because then out of 8 pictures you will be able to get one good picture which will stand out from the others. burst can be used for sports or something that is moving really fast. Out of all my pictures i would say that my last one was the best because it showed emotion from his face, plus burst is good because it helps catch any brilliant moment really quickly.
