Export Practice

Raw vs. JPEG

Part 1:

What are three advantages of a RAW file: Some advantages of a RAW file are, higher in dynamic range meaning it picks up shadow and highlights, umcompressed, and you have more control. 

What is one disadvantage of a RAW file: Not as sharp. 

What are three advantages of a JPEG file: It's higher in contrast, sharper, and ready to share immediately. 

What is one disadvantage of a JPEG file: Lower in dynamic. 

Part 2:

1. Write your own one sentence definition of what a JPEG file is.
Better for fast paced events that don't need to be processed.
2. Write your own one sentence definition of what a RAW file is.

Unprocessed material that hasn't been compressed or manipulated by the computer.

Part 3:

1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera? All of it.

2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken? more saturation, white balance etc.

3. Under the third heading "Practicalities," what are some of the factors that photographers must consider when deciding to shoot in RAW? Being able to transfer them.

4. Under the fourth heading "Which one is for you?" why would an aspiring professional photographer need to know how to work with RAW files? So he/she can edit and process those pictures. 

Part 4:

1. Make a list of three occasions it would be better to shoot in RAW. Prom Photos, Graduation, and weddings.

2. Make a list of three occasions it would be better to shoot in JPEG. Sports, Magazines, and wildlife. 

Sunny 16 notes

The proper exposure is determined by the ISO of the film or setting.

-Assume ISO is 100
-Shutter speed 1/100 or 1.125
-Aperture f16


Equivalent Exposures 
Frames that have the same amount of lights with different aperture and shutter speed settings.

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO Review

Part 1: Aperture
1. A lot of people say the human eyes.

2. The smaller the Aperture the larger the f-stop, the higher the Aperture the smaller f-stop.

3. Aperture has an impact on depth of field because the larger f- number brings the background and foreground to focus. The smaller f-number the more the background will appear and by doing that the image will look sharper.

4. f/1.4, f/2,f/2.8,f/4,f/5.6,f/8
5. Maximum aperture of f/4.0 and the minimum is f/16.

Part 2: Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

High Shutter Speed

Shutter Priority, Manual and Aperture Priority. 

Shutter Priority mode is where you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets it aperture.

Manual mode is where you choose both the shutter speed and the aperture manually.

Aperture Priority is when you set the lens aperture and then the camera automatically sets its shutter speed.

Part 3:

Shutter speed for ISO 200 and ISO 3200

1. The advantages are the higher iso is great when you don't have a lot of light available to you so it'd be perfect for a night baseball game.

2. The authors suggestions when using lower iso were if you have a lot of light available to you, you should use a lower iso like 100 or 200.

3. Only use higher iso if there isn't a lot of light available to you.
