Project Progress Reports
Will be due Friday after break
15 points towards the 65 point project total
• Turn in an outline of your project paper
• Try to include one picture or figure for your
project.
• Let us know how your observations are
going. Are there questions you have? Are
there some confusing things that you’d like
feedback on? This point in the project is a
great time to ask us if you need special
feedback.

• Can have reduced aberrations.

For closely spaced lenses, just add the lens diopters
(powers) to find the total power and focal length.

Aberrations
What are aberrations?
Examples:
Mis-shaped or damaged lens or mirror, Spherical aberrations: For spherical mirror - go far enough out on the circle – no single focus pointChromatic aberrations: different focal length for diff colors.
And others…
Anything that makes the image less than perfect is an aberration.

Actually, the light rays from a spherical mirror that come from the edge focus closer to the mirror

OK, So Much Information!
Now you know loads about lenses,
how they produce images, and at least
a few non-ideal properties that cause
images to be not perfect.
All these things have impact on the important
artistic and scientific practice of photography,
through the main tool: Cameras!

• What is an image?
• A real image is formed on a screen when rays from each point on the object reach the corresponding points on the screen and no other rays from other points on the object reach those points

Camera with a lens
An image forms at the back of the camera. The distance between the lens and the back of the camera, xi, is determined by the lens equation, in other words… by xo and f.

images.

By the way: As a practical issue, when you are
taking a picture with a camera, the situation is:

B) The focal length is farthest from the lens
C) The image is farthest away from the lens
D) Any of these could be correct depending on focus.
E) None of the above is correct

The shutter: Opens the camera lens for a
controlled amount of time
You can open the shutter on your camera for
1 sec. or for ½ sec. Which one lets more
light energy hit the back of the camera?
50
A) 1 sec. because the light power is on longer
B) ½ sec because the light power is on less
C) The same, because the power hitting the lens is
the same in both cases.
D) None of these.

The shutter controls the duration of the light.
Common shutter speeds
1/15 sec
1/30 sec
1/60 sec
1/125 sec
1/250 sec
1/500 sec
Each change lets in half the light.

• Focal length: Changed by Zoom lens – 18 to 55 mm• Object we’re photographing much farther away than
focal length
• f5.6 to f36• Exposure determined by shutter
• Can set various automatic or manual modes
• To focus: move lens slightly (move lens away from sensor to focus on closer object)

Questions
For which focal length will the metronomes appear smaller (take up a smaller portion of the image screen)?A)18 mmB) 55 mmC) the same in both cases
Which setting will give us a larger depth of field?A)F5.6B) F36C) the same in both cases
Note depth of field will also change with focal length and object distance

Pinhole versus lens
Pinhole = selecting one set of rays. Dim but always in focus!
Many pinholes = many images
Lens gathers light from multiple rays to focus to one image
