A9. Why You Should Learn Manual Mode

-
  1. What three settings make a photographic exposure? The ISO, Shutter speed, and Aperture. 
  2. How does the focal length affect the shutter speed? Shutter speed always needs to be one over your focal length to offset hand handled camera shake. 
  3. If the focal length is 70mm, what is the slowest shutter speed to hand hold? The slowest shutter speed to hand hold is 1/70th of a second. 
  4. It the focal length is 300mm, what is the slowest shutter speed to hand hold? The slowest shutter speed to hand hold is 1/300th of a second.
  5. The lower the number on aperture (such as f/3.5) will do what to the depth of field? The lower the number on aperture the less depth of field and more broken there will be. 
  6. What is depth of field? The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in image
  7. Which aperture lets in less light, f/3.5 or f/22? The aperture f/3.5 lets in less light. 
  8. What is ISO? The ISO is the sensitivity of your cameras sensor to light. 
  9. The higher the number on the ISO, results in what two things will be the result? The higher the number on the ISO the more noise that an image will have but will be more sensitive to light. 
  10. What does the author recommend that you start with on your exploration of shooting in manual mode? The author suggests that to start my explanation I should do aperture first and think of the question of how much depth of field I want. 
  11. Why is it important to try different lighting settings? Strength of light will be the number one factor to figure out settings. From the light you can figure out depth of field and if you need to freeze your subject. 
  12. What lighting settings will you try tomorrow? I will try the light setting of shade in sunlight yet still let the light peak through the picture.  
  13. Why is it important to understand how to shoot in manual mode? It is important to shoot in manual mode because it will help you understand the settings in a much more intuitive way. 
  14. How will learning Manual mode help you understand Shutter Priority and Aperture Priority better? Learning the manual mode will get you a better understanding of shutter priority and aperture priority and help decide which setting to shoot on.

Do you usually have your cell phone out and visible? If I need my cell phone to do something I will usually have it out, but I try and not to have it out a lot.  Would you rate learning something new as a complex task or an easy task? I would rate learning something new as a complex task because you have not learned this material before.  What happens to performance on complex tasks when a cell phone is visible? Performance on complex tasks suffered because the cell phone distracted them from doing things they needed to get done.  How does having a cell phone out remind people of a “broader social community? People who have phones out remind them of a "broader social community" because they have access to the internet and texting. Does the presence of a cell phone change the performance of easy tasks? Yes it does because they distract you from what you should actually be focused on.  What did the presence of a cell phone do to the quality of social interaction in the 20

How much do your images tell a story and convey a mood or message that it apparent to most viewers? My images do convey a story to the viewer that is apparent because you can see emotion or mystery in the persons eye or appearance. What do you feel that you do well with your camera skills? I usually know how to set up my camera into angles I know will satisfy the eye and I have learned to do well with camera skills through practice of taking many pictures and following the rule of thirds while also converting the story I want to tell.  What do you feel that you do well with your editing skills? In my editing skills I feel that I do well in adjusting the brightness in specific places and knowing where to put contrast at because what is pleasing to my eye I usually know now what is pleasing to others through comments from others and class critiques.  What do you feel that you do well with your observation skills? In observation skills I do well in knowing how to adjust pictures and u
