What I learned during the Still Image Unit:

  • Value is the lightness or darkness of a colour.

  • Unity occurs when all of the elements of a piece combine to make a balance, harmonious, complete whole.

  • To make a blurred image you either need to be out of focus (don’t adjust settings), object moves, you move the camera while shooting (panning), or use photoshop.

  • Aperture is the opening that changes in size to admit more or less light.

  • Depth of field is the area or ‘zone’ of a photograph from front to back which is in focus.

  • Black objects absorb light and leave paper white. (Pinhole camera)

  • The relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO is that if you adjust one you must adjust the others because manipulating one affects the other.

History of Photography:

  • It took the first photo eight hours of exposure time.

  • Photos used to only be taken for important events such as family photos/weddings, etc. now they are taken for more unnecessary things like selfies.

  • Joseph Nicephore was the first to take a photograph in the summer of 1827.

  • One of the first cameras used was the Pinhole Camera.

  • The first camera on the market was the Kodak Brownie.
