Fundamentals of Photography

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Aperture   The size of the opening of the lens determines how much light exposes the film or digital sensor.  
🗑
Exposure   This is achieved when the camera operator reproduce the scene as the eyes see it. If the picture is darker than it is underexposed. If the picture is brighter then it is overexposed.  
🗑
Depth of Field   This is the area (amount) of the visual information that is in focus.  
🗑
ISO   International Standards Organization: Film Speed is how quickly the film or sensor reacts to light.  
🗑
ASA   American Standards Association: Film Speed is how quickly the film or sensor reacts to light.  
🗑
EI   Exposure Index: Film Speed is how quickly the film or sensor reacts to light.  
🗑
Photography   Writing light is the translation of the Greco-Roman roots, photo meaning light and graph meaning write.  
🗑
Grain   This is caused by shooting in dim light using a fast shutter speed.  
🗑
Film Speed   This is how quickly the film or sensor reacts to light. A fast speed such as 1600 or 3200 doesn't need much light to get proper exposure, but a slow speed such as 100 - 400 needs more light to get proper exposure.  
🗑
Shutter Speed   This is measured in seconds and fraction of seconds: 60 (1/60 ) exposes the film or sensor to light for 1/60 of a second.  
🗑
Motion Blur   This occurs when the subject is moving and the slow shutter speed records the movement. There is more motion blur when the subject crosses the film plane rather than moving toward or away from it.  
🗑
Stop Action   This occurs when the subject is moving and the fast shutter speed records a freeze frame of the motion. In other words, the motion is not detected due to the fast shutter.  
🗑
White Balance   This is how the camera reproduces the color of white under various lighting conditions. Ideally it should reproduce it as the eyes see it.  
🗑
Color Temperature   It is measured in Kelvin, named after British physicist and natural philosopher Lord Kelvin who introduced the asolute scale of temperature. Different times of day/different indoor lighting have different color temperatures.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
