9/8/23       Surrealism Project

Oil painting by Kristen Kwan

This oil painting by Kristen Kwan inspired me to make my project. I got inspired from this because I thought it was interesting how you can add certain objects to other things, even if they are not quite related in ways and make them into something unique. I like the way they blend into each other and the way the colors compliment each other nicely. I wanted to do something strange and random as well to see if I could make it work.

1.What are aperture, shutter speed and ISO?

Aperture is a hole in the camera that controls how much light is going into the camera and how much focus you want to be in your picture, depending on where you are taking a photograph you control how much light is able to go in it. Shutter speed is how fast the camera is going to take the photo. The ISO is the image quality of the picture and helps with the lighting conditions.

2. When would you need to change your ISO?

You would need to change you ISO when your trying to get the correct lighting quality for your photograph. You use lower quality when in bright light but higher quality when there is not a lot of light to work with.

3. What is aperture and shutter priority settings?

Aperture priority is when you set an aperture value and the camera will vary the exposure settings so that your photograph can have a good amount of lighting. Shutter priority is like aperture priority where you can set it and have full control over it while the camera changes all its settings so that it will end up good. With shutter priority it is best used when there are fast moving subjects.

4. What are AF modes how do you change them?

AF modes are autofocus modes which include one-shot AF, Servo AF,  and AI autofocus. The one-shot AF is when the focus is locked on its subject and will stay that as long as you keep your finger pressed lightly down on the shutter-release. Servo AF is best used for sports and fast moving objects because it constantly refocuses. AI autofocus is when the camera is allowed the ability to change if the object is static or moving.

5. Why do your need to meter the light to get the right exposure?

You need to meter the light to get the right exposure because depending on what you are shooting your pictures can turn out too light or too dark.

6. What is the difference between a normal, wide angle and telephoto lens?

A normal lens is the typical view, wide angle shows more in the picture, and telephoto gives multiple lengths of photo.

7. What is white balance and why would you need to change it?

White balance is adjusting the color so the photo looks more natural.

8. What is depth of field and what is the difference between shallow and good?

Depth of field is the distance of how close each object is and the focus on them. Shallow is when only one thing is in focus and good depth of field is where everything is in focus.

9. What are drive modes and metering modes?

Drive modes are the different modes in your camera and metering modes are the different modes a camera can alter it’s exposure.

10. What is exposure compensation?

Exposure compensation is when you can change the exposure itself based on your image.
