Specific Purpose: Using the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture to take a picture manually on a DSLR camera. Thesis statement: Today I will teach you how to correctly combine the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in order to capture a photo manually with a DSLR camera.
“Raise your hand if you or someone you know, wither it be your mom, friend, aunt, whoever, has a DSLR or ‘fancy’ camera. Now keep your hand up if you actually know how to use it. All right, well I want to change that! I am currently in a photojournalism class at WKU and I pick up taking photos on the weekends for extra money. I am going to major in photojournalism and pursue either that or just a regular photographer as a career. Today I will teach you how to correctly combine the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in order to capture a photo completely manually using a DSLR or ‘fancy’ camera.
Have you ever seen a photo that was entirely too bright or on the opposite side, way too dark? Well that’s our ISO. “The ISO refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light”. Higher the ISO, the more sensitive the camera will be. Lower the ISO, the less sensitive the camera will be.
Camera problem number 2; we’ve all seen blurry photos, but then on the other hand there are these amazing sports photographs that seem to freeze time, this is the work of our shutter speed. “Exactly how long or short the gateway to the sensor is open is called the shutter speed”, The faster the shutter, the more crisp the photo, but then the higher the ISO has to be.The slower the shutter, the blurrier the photo, and the lower the ISO can be.
The final camera variable in the equation is usually the most confusing. Ever wonder why in some photos just the person’s eye is in focus, or just their rings like in wedding pictures, and then in others, everything is in focus the foreground, background, everything, we owe this to aperture. Using ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, you now know how to compose a shot completely on the manual mode of a DSLR camera!
