Study Notes

Exposición

Exposure in photography refers to the amount of light that reaches the sensor or film. It is controlled by three main elements: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
Aperture: The size of the opening in the lens through which light passes. Measured in f-stops (e.g., f/2.8, f/8). A smaller f-stop (e.g., f/2.8) allows more light, while a larger f-stop (e.g., f/22) allows less light. Aperture also affects depth-of-field.
Shutter Speed: The length of time the shutter stays open, exposing the sensor or film to light. Measured in seconds or fractions of a second (e.g., 1/1000s, 1s). Faster shutter speeds freeze motion, slower shutter speeds create motion blur.
ISO: A measure of the sensor's or film's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO values (e.g., ISO 3200) enhance light sensitivity but introduce more digital noise (grain) in images. Lower ISO values (e.g., ISO 100) are best for bright conditions.
The relationship between these three elements is reciprocal. Changing one often necessitates adjusting the others to maintain proper exposure.

Composición

Composition in photography refers to the arrangement of elements within the frame. Good composition draws the viewer's eye and creates a more impactful image.
Rule of Thirds: Dividing the image into nine equal sections using two horizontal and two vertical lines. Placing key elements along these lines or at their intersections often creates a more visually appealing image.
Leading Lines: Using lines within the scene to guide the viewer's eye towards the subject.
Symmetry and Patterns: Utilizing elements that repeat or mirror each other for a balanced and visually interesting image.
Framing: Using elements within the scene to naturally frame the subject.

Iluminación

Lighting is crucial in photography, significantly impacting the mood and atmosphere of an image.
Direction: The direction from which light is coming impacts the subject's form, shadows, and overall look.
Quality: Hard light creates strong shadows and highlights, while soft light creates softer transitions.
Quantity: The amount of light affects the exposure and overall brightness of the image.
Color Temperature: The color of light, measured in Kelvin (K). Different sources of light have different color temperatures.

Perspectiva

Perspective in photography refers to how objects and space are depicted in the image, creating a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.
Point of View: The position from which the image is taken. A low angle often conveys power, while a high angle might convey vulnerability.
Foreground, Midground, and Background: Positioning elements in the image to create depth. A strong foreground can help draw the viewer's eye into the scene.
Angle of View: The angle from which the camera takes the picture, which influences the perception of space and objects.

Tipos De Lentes

Different lens types affect the field of view and the perspective of the image.
Prime Lenses: Fixed focal length lenses. Often praised for their sharpness and speed (large maximum apertures).
Zoom Lenses: Variable focal length lenses. Offer versatility in changing the magnification.
Wide-angle Lenses: Provide a wide field of view, often used for landscapes and architectural photography.
Telephoto Lenses: Provide a narrow field of view, used for capturing distant subjects. They magnify the subject and compress the background.
Macro Lenses: Designed for extreme close-ups of small objects.

ISO

ISO measures a camera sensor's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO values increase sensitivity but can also increase noise (grain) in images.
Different ISO values are ideal for different conditions. Low ISO values are ideal for well-lit settings; higher ones are necessary in low light.
The choice of ISO is a tradeoff between light sensitivity and image quality.
