Basic concepts: What’s a photograph
• Light is focused, condensed through a lens• Captured on a light-sensitive surface
![Page 5: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Basic concepts: What’s a photograph
• Only real variable: How much light gets in• 2 ways to control it

Basic concepts: What’s a photograph
• Length of time affects ability to stop motion• Controlled by shutter speed– 100s or 1,000s of a second– Low shutter speed: moving objects blur– High shutter speed: moving objects freeze
![Page 9: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Basic concepts: What’s a photograph
• Size of aperture affects focal plane– i.e. depth of field
• Controlled by F-stop / aperture
Low number/larger aperture
High number/ smaller aperture

Basic concepts: Printed photos
• A printing press is like a computer: it only knows on and off– A space on the page either has ink or it doesn’t– Black ink is never gray; it’s just black
• Half-tone process overcomes this limitation when printing photos– Photos are rendered using “half-tone” process– Optical illusion – recreates image as a series of dots
![Page 11: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Half tones
• Pre-digital– Created by re-photographing picture through a
screen• Digital– Created in
Photoshop orprepresssoftware

Mastering Resolution
![Page 13: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Resolution
• A technical issue – not artistic• It’s the amount of data in a photo– More data = more flexibility in using the photo– More data = more memory
• Must reconcile 3 data storage technologies– Digital cameras store data in pixels– Computers store data in bytes– Printed paper stores data in dots
![Page 14: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Digital camera
• Captures image on electronic screen– Unlike analog photography, it’s not a “true” image– Image translated into pixels– A 5 MP photo (i.e. 5 million pixels) is
2592 p x 1944 p
– iPhone 4: 8 MP– Nikon Coolpix S6200 ($119): 16 MP
![Page 15: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Digital photo
• You choose resolution when photo is shot• Typical settings– High/Medium/Low– Large/Small– Actual photo dimensions
• You choose resolution again when moving photo from camera to computer
• Once removed, information is gone forever

Resolution
• When a photo is SIZED digitally by dragging on screen:– The number of pixels stays the same– Resolution decreases/increases as it’s sized
• When a photo is SAVED at a smaller size:– Most software (e-mail clients, websites, etc) will
reduce the number of pixels – resulting in loss of resolution
– It’s because their goal is to save on memory
![Page 19: Shoot Like A Pro (with a camera built for amateurs)](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103021/55d4cc35bb61eba73a8b468a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Resolution
• Websites/computer screens reproduce at the equivalent of 72 DPI
• Newspapers print at 300 DPI– “Dot gain” reduces clarity– Colors lose brilliance
• Glossy magazines print at 720 dots per inch (DPI)

Resolution Takeaways
• Shoot photos at highest resolution• Store photos at highest resolution• Understand how printing process will
compromise photos– Colors lose brilliance– Images lose clarity
• Don’t even think about printing a photo scraped from a website; it won’t work.

Rules of Thumb
• A photo needs to be 1-6 MB• Maximum printable size (in inches) of a digital
image in a typical newspaper:– File dimension in pixels ÷ 200– Example: • Your photo is 1,000p tall x 1,400p wide (1.4 MP)• 1,000 ÷ 200 = 5• 1,400 ÷ 200 = 7• The photo will print acceptably at up to 5” x 7”

Seeing a photo
• Key components of photo– Subject– Everything else
Most people give all their attention to the subject and none to everything else.
The key to notable photos is to pay most attention to everything else.

Seeing a photo: Lighting
• Lighting– Where is the light source• Above/font of subject: post card• Behind subject: backlight (shadowy/moody)• Side: intensity
– Look at the shadows• Long v. short (long is more dramatic)• Vertical (connects foreground w/ background)• Horizontal / diagonal (creates balance/interest)
