Aperture and DOF

All in Crisp Focus




Low Priority




High Priority




A bigger DOF makes the background stand out.
A smaller DOF makes the forward subjects more in focus.
A small aperture lessens the DOF.
a Large aperture enlarges the DOF.
Closer to the subject makes the subject blurrier and makes the DOF smaller.
Farther from subject makes the subject smaller but more in focus and makes the DOF larger.
Zooming in makes the subject blurrier and DOF smaller.
Zooming out makes the subject smaller and the DOF larger.

Dumb Write on Photo stuff

These are things that I know that I don't have to think about:
Exposure is how much light is exposed to the CCD
Metering is the focus on the subject and has three different modes; spot, center-weighted, and evaluative. Changing the setting on the metering changes the focus on the subject or the thing behind him.
The aperture is the thing that controls the amount of light being let into the camera. Changing the aperture changes the brightness of the photo and the amount of blur.
The shutter is the thing that opens to let in light. When changing the shutter speed, you are changing the quickness that the shutter opens and closes to let light in, then the light has to get through the aperture to the CCD chip which stores the memory of the photo.
When working on the pinhole camera, we created an aperture by putting a hole into the box or can and created a shutter with the flap of black paper. The CCD was replaced with photosensitive paper, which when exposed to light, starts developing, so we had to make sure that when we were not taking pictures, we did not let the film have any light touching it. We had it covered by paper and put it in a can until we needed to take a picture and then we lifted the flap of black paper (our shutter) and let in the light through the hole (our aperture) and let the light hit the photosensitive film.
On digital cameras, the camera automatically sets the aperture, the shutter speed and the DOF, but the user still can change them manually in the settings of the camera. When the user changes settings and screws something up, the camera can reset the settings if it is turned off then back on again. When the photo setting is on auto, the shutter, aperture and DOF are all automatically set and cannot be changed.

Spirit Week

Spirit Week at La Conner High School was a blast. Students got to dress up according to the day of the week it was. Some days though, are stereotypical, like Nerd Day. Students compete to see how many students in each grade dress up. This year the Seniors won, with Sophomores in close second, then Freshies, then Juniors. We were all rooting for the Sophomores, but Seniors beat them.

Exposure

Definition: Exposure is the amount of light collected by the sensor in the camera during a single photo. If the shot is exposed too long the photograph will be washed out. If the shot is exposed too short the photograph will appear too dark.
Aperture: the size of the lens opening that lets light into the camera
Shutter Speed: the amount of time the sensor is exposed to light
Metering: the brains behind how your camera determines the shutter speed and aperture, based on lighting conditions and ISO speed.

SETTINGS DISCOVERY

Lightning bolt button is for FLASH!!!
-red eye reduction
-suppressed flash
-forced flash
-auto
The photos are off color with the flash on.

Half-pushed down button: The subject becomes more focused and the background becomes blurrier. It won't take a photo until the button is pushed all the way down.

The flower button is for making a smaller subject in better focus. You can get pretty close to the subject, within a couple of inches. You can get closer to the subject zoomed out.

Zoom Feature: We should make sure it's in pretty good focus unless it's for artistic reasons.

Different Features: They are used for different areas of importance. Ones for running, portraits, auto, iso auto, iso 200, and video.
They are focusing the camera to help for different situations.

Digital Pinhole camera

I think that you could make a pinhole camera. The design would be pretty much the same as a pinhole camera, though you would need a SSD card slot, electronics and wiring. When someone opened the shutter, the light would shine on the CCD chip and the photons would transfer the memory to the SSD chip. There would be problems such as that the box would have to be light-tight, but still be able to insert and remove the SSD chip unless you do not want to know what the photos look like.
The digital pinhole camera would be difficult to make because that the box would need to be light-tight, but have openings to allow the SSD chip to be put in and removed. The electronics would be hard to get into the box and stay attached so that it does not get in the way of the light when the photo is being taken. I do not really see how this could be easy except for the making the box and getting every thing that you need together.
