Free Shoot Planning



My subject will be anything that can cast a shadow.

I will shoot in the classroom or a dark place because you need a dark environment to create shadows.

I will shoot during the day.

It will be hard lighting.

I will need a camera and some sort of light source like a flash light to cast shadows.

I will shoot 3 photos.

Aperture and Shutter Speed Practice

  • F4  – looks the best at  1/125 of a second shutter speed.
  • F5.6 – looks the best at  1/60 of a second shutter speed.
  • F8  – looks the best at 1/30 of a second shutter speed.
  • F11  – looks the best at 1/60 of a second shutter speed.
  • F16  – looks the best at  1/30 of a second shutter speed.
  • F22  – looks the best at  1/8 of a second shutter speed.

  • At F4 how much background is visible? not visible its blurry.
  • At F5.6how much background is visible? Background is still not visible its blurry.
  • At F8 how much background is visible? background is a little more visible but still blurry. 
  • At F11 how much background is visible? the background is visible but still a little blurry.
  • At F16 how much background is visible? The background is visible and it still a little blurry but less than before.
  • At F22 how much background is visible? The background is now visible and in focus.


  • 1. Consider what is happening to the people themselves at slow Shutter Speeds.
    At slow shutter speeds the people are becoming more blurry and the picture is becoming brighter.

    2. In a real shooting situation, what should the photographer do to lessen this problem?
    raise the shutter speed 

    3. What combination of aperture and shutter speed do you think produces the best portrait? Why?
    i think the best portrait is at f/5.6 1/125 because the picture looks clear,focused and the background is blurred which gives it the depth of field.

    Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO Review


    Part 1

    1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
    A.The pupil is related to aperture.

    2. Finish this sentence: The smaller the Aperture _____________, the higher the Aperture 
    ________________.
    A.The larger the f-stop                B.the smaller the f-stop


    3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
    A.The larger the  f stop the smaller depth and the larger the f stop the greater the depth.



    4. Using a class camera, list ALL of the F stops available on the lens currently attached.
    A. 4,4.5,5,5.6,6.3,7.1,8,9,10,11,13,14,16,18,20,22,25

    5. What is the highest and smallest aperture numbers available on the kit lens?
    A. 18 - 55mm

    Part 2

                                                                       Fast Shutter Speed


    Slow Shutter Speed

    At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
    a.) the dunking booth- Medium
    b.) the food eating contest- Medium 
    c.) the rock climbing wall- Medium 
    d.) someone working at a booth- Medium 
    e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- Medium

    f.) the Diamonds performance- Medium

    Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
    a.) the dunking booth- Slow 
    b.) the food eating contest - Slow
    c.) the rock climbing wall - Slow
    d.) someone working at a booth- Slow
    e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle -Slow 
    f.) the Diamonds performance -Slow 

    2. Aperture Priority - you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed 
        Shutter Priority- you set the shutter speed and the camera selects the aperture 
         Manual- you set both the shutter speed and aperture 

    3.  30'' 20'' 15'' 10'' 8'' 6'' 4'' 3'' 2'' 1''5 1'' ''7 ''5 ''3 1/4 1/6 1/8 1/10 1/15 1/20 1/30 1/45 1/60 1/90 1/125 1/180 1/250 1/350 1/500 1/750 1/1000 1/1500 1/2000 1/3000 1/4000 

    Part 3 

    ISO 200


    ISO 3200




    1. What are the advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? You can get brighter pictures and quicker shots  and freeze motions.

    2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
    The author said that you should always try to stick to the lowest ISO of your camera.

    3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
    The author  said you should increase the ISO when there is not enough light for the camera to be able to quickly capture images.

    4. At the camera near you, please tell me what ISO's are available on your camera?
    100 200 400 800 1600 3200 6400
