Camera Exposure Lab Report

Within this lab project our group have become very comfortable with working with the cameras, specifically learning how to setup, and shoot at the proper camera focuses. This project specifically gave us an understanding of perfect exposure, over exposed and under exposed images. Adjusting the exposure time/shutter speed gives us a larger range of depth (range) rather then adjusting the f-number (f-Stop). The f-number adjusts the length of the lens compared to the diameter of the entrance of the lens. Giving us a wider range to adjust makes the camera shots easier as its faster to find perfect exposure for your image. Taking a look at our group of photos, we can see that we have an underexposed, an overexposed and one in perfect exposure. The shutter on the camera is adjusted to the length of time it stays open for within the cameras exposure settings. Doing this allows the sensor within the camera to be exposed to more or less light.
Our copy shot images have three different exposure times giving us the above three exposure types. The first image being our underexposed image our set exposure time is 1/60 (1/60 of a second, with an f-number of …show more content…

Our underexposed image was adjusted too low making our shutter time very fast not providing enough light in. The exposure time was 1/30 (1/30 of a second, with an f-number of f16). Within the lighting of our portrait shots, we can see that the camera needed to be adjusted, to provide a bit lighter in to take the perfect photo at perfect exposure. When adjusting the shutter speed to find perfect exposure, our group then took our next photo in overexposure. The exposure time was 1/8 (1/8 of a second, with an f-number of f16). This allowed for too much light into the camera making our image to bright. When toning down our shutter speed we were able to reach proper speed to provide enough lighting at a shutter speed of 1/15 (1/15 of a second, with an f-number of
