The smaller the aperture the larger the f-stop, the larger the aperture, the smaller the f-stop.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

An aperture affects how big the area of the picture that is sharp. The bigger the aperture the larger the focus of the photo.

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree

Slow Shutter Speed.

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings

Slow Shutter Speed

c.) the Stars performance inside the gym
High Shutter Speed

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard
High Shutter Speed

e.) people streaming in from the front doors
High Shutter Speed

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop

High Shutter Speed

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.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.

•  Aperture priority - Where shutter speed is automatically set, and aperture is set manually
•  Shutter priority - Where shutter speed is set manually, and aperture is automatically set.
•  Manual - Where both aperture and shutter speed are set manually.
