ISO/Shutterspeed tests

Over this week, we have been taking pictures with different ISO and Shutterspeeds. Here, I was testing different shutter speeds. Shutter speed is when the amount of light that reaches the film is proportional to the exposure time. This is my friend Cammie jumping.
This is testing shutterspeed, with a low ISO. 

Here is my friend CC helping me with different ISO settings. ISO is the measure of a photograph's film sensitivity to light. On this picture, we used a higher ISO. As you can tell, the picture came out brighter.
Here, we used a lower ISO. The picture as you can tell is darker than the first. 
In this picture below, I used an even lower ISO. You can tell as the whit walls are now yellow, and the space looks dreary.

What is Photography?

Photography: To draw with LIGHT. Photography has many different meanings but this is the the most known. It is also a universal language that is understood everywhere. In photography, there are two different types of pictures. There is a snapshot which is unplanned, and a photograph which is planned. If you are planning to make photography become your career, you probably want to know the different types of photographers ranging from amateur photographer, to a full-time professional. In between those, there are serious amateurs and free lance professionals.

CAMERA FUNCTIONS: 
- Shooting Mode- Auto, Portrait, Landscape, etc.
- ISO- Sensitivity to light; The higher the number the more sensitive to light
- Aperture/Fstop- Controls intensity
- Shutter Speed- Controls the amount of time light exposes Auto, port

Apeture + Shutter speed + ISO sensitivity = Amount of light

Intensity X Light = Exposure

You can use "stop" as a unit of measurement.

About Me

hello i'm Catherine and welcome to my blog! I will be using this blog for my photo journalism class. I hope to post on this blog daily and share my pictures and projects with you. I am taking this class in hopes to be in yearbook next year! I'm excited to be in this class to actually learn how to work my camera, and to be better as a photographer. Here is a picture below of me and my family in South Hampton, New York to attend the 44th Walker Cup that my brother played in 2013.
Enjoy!
