Portrait Preview

1. Why is the environment where a portrait is taken an important consideration in portrait photography? (From the "Environment" and "Design" headings." 

The physical surroundings included in a portrait offer enormous potential to extend or enhance the communication. The environment plays a major role in revealing the identity of the individual.
 
2. Why should portrait photographers use a "Aperture Priority" mode or full manual mode? (From the "Depth of Field" heading. 

The environment plays a major role in revealing the identity of the individual. 

3. How can portraits reveal a subject's character? (From the "Revealing Character Heading."

Significant and informative details can be photographed with the subject. These details may naturally occur or be introduced for the specific purpose of strengthening the communication.

4. How can the photographer help the subject while taking portraits? (From the "Directing the subject" and "Expression and posture" headings.

The photographer should display an air of confidence and friendliness whilst directing subjects. Subjects will feel more comfortable if the photographer clearly indicates what is expected of them.

Self Portrait

I was going to try and take a self portrait. But thanks to group work I got a partner and just took pictures of him. My goal was to take pictures of him in a place that fits his personality.

Aperture and Shutter speed Practice

• F4  – looks the best at ___125__ of a second shutter speed.
• F5.6 – looks the best at ___60__ of a second shutter speed.
• F8  – looks the best at __60___ of a second shutter speed.
• F11  – looks the best at __60___ of a second shutter speed.
• F16  – looks the best at ___30__ of a second shutter speed.
• F22  – looks the best at __8___ of a second shutter speed.
• 
  
• At F2.8 there is no background visible. It is very blurry and all you can really see is the couple
• At F4 very little of the background is visible? Its very blurry
• At F5.6 a small amount is visible? Its still very blurry though
• At F8 like half is visible? Not as blurry
• At F11 most of the background is visible? Its focused
• At F16 a lot is visible? Its kinda blurry though.
• At F22 all of it is visible? Barely blurry

1. Consider what is happening to the people themselves at slow Shutter Speeds.
It makes them harder to see
2. In a real shooting situation, what should the photographer do to lessen this problem?
Lower the shutter speed
3. What combination of aperture and shutter speed do you think produces the best portrait? Why?

The best combination F22 and 1/8 of a second looks best because there is little blur and good lighting.

PART 3
1. The amount of light and the outcome of the picture changes. Maybe it looks more or less bright or frozen in place.
2. Use the lowest for most pictures you take.
3. When there is not enough light for the camera to be able to quickly capture an image.
