Unit 5: Exposure Triangle

OBJECTIVE:  The students will understand how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO affect the  exposure of a photograph

What is Exposure?

In the simplest terms, exposure is: “is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph”

When you think of the craft or art of photography, you must immediately think of exposure. Exposure is a critical element that determines what is actually recorded on film or the image sensor.

TOO MUCH LIGHT WILL "OVEREXPOSE" YOUR IMAGE, TOO LITTLE LIGHT WILL "UNDEREXPOSE"

OBJECTIVE:  

The students will understand how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO affect the  exposure of a photograph

What is an Exposure Triangle? Focus on ISO

Depending on the time of day and location, your students may need to adjust their ISO to get a photo that isn’t all black or all white. Discuss the importance of adjusting ISO for times when they don’t have a flash, aren’t allowed to use a flash, or want to capture the look and feel of natural light.

As with most things, students best understand when doing. Take them to different areas of your building. Have students explore different ISO settings. Once finished, review how the ISO impacted the look of the photo.
