Cameras
Thesis: It's essential to know your camera’s features and settings if you want to take the best possible photos!
Introduction
I. Have you ever wondered why our selfies are so much better than yours? (Visual Aid)
II. All cameras have the same basic features.
A. Not all cameras have features and settings that can be adjusted.
B. It's essential to know your camera’s features and settings if you want to take the best photos possible!
C. Today we are going to explain how the basic components of a camera, the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO affect the outcome of an amazing photo.
Body
I. According to “Cambridge in Colour”, every camera is built with basic components.
A. How many of you own a camera that is not on your phone? (Visual Aid)
B. There are many kinds of cameras available today, but not all cameras are created equal.
1. Cell phone cameras are good for social media and casual communication.
2. Single-Lens Reflex cameras (SLR) are mostly bought in camera stores, but are not as commonly used today as they were fifteen years ago.
a. SLR cameras store images on 35 mm film.
b. The film must be brought to a photo lab for processing.
3. Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras (DSLR) have a wide price range, and can be bought at any retail or electronics store.
a. DSLR cameras store images as electronic files.
b. It can be connected by cable or memory card into your computer and downloaded for electronic storage.
C. All cameras have two basic components.
1. The diaphragm is the body of the camera.
a. Old cameras were made of metal, but now made of sturdy plastic.
b. Depending on whether it uses 35mm film or digital storage, features are slightly different.
2. The lens is the optical “eye” where the images are collected.
a. T...

...o be let into the camera. Therefore, a lower ISO is used.
3. The less light in the setting, the more light has to be let in, therefor a higher ISO is needed.
4. If you increase the ISO, it comes in double sets like 200- 400.
5. The higher the ISO, more random speckling will occur.
6. The higher the ISO, means random noise, or speckling makes up a larger part of the picture.
Conclusion
I) There are several other simple features that many of you may have already used.
A. Flashes are very commonly used in the dark.
B. Self-Timer is used when there is no one to take the picture.
C. As you can see, there are many features and settings available on cameras.
1. Explore your own camera for features and settings.
2. The more you learn to use them, the better your photos will be.
D. Before we end, we’d like to demonstrate the use of the Self-Timer as we take a class photo.
“There is in fact no such thing as an instantaneous photograph. All photographs are time exposures, of shorter or longer duration, and each describes a discrete parcel of time.” -John Szarkowski Photography consists of a tracing of time; the duration of the photograph’s exposure time determines the resulting image. Photography is fundamentally a time-based medium.
For much of the nineteenth century, cameras were made in relatively small numbers; crafted out of expensive materials like brass, mahogany and leather, putting it out of the reach of the general public. The most significant event in amateur photography by far was the introduction of the Kodak camera in 1888, invented and marketed by American businessman and entrepreneur George Eastman. Eastman realized that there was a huge untapped market of people who wanted to take their own photographs if they were given the means to do so. The Kodak was...
cameras can be extremely small and are often hardly noticeable. But few people it seems
Having left a lens’s sharpness and a user-friendly design as it is, yet the limited model has improved much more professional quality. If you are looking for a little bit different from other cameras, you will be highly recommended to get it!
As time marches on so does the flow of new technology. Even though the old form of analog photography may never become obsolete it is abundantly clear that digital imaging is here to stay.
There you are holding your camera an arm’s length away from your face, posing in the most flattering position to capture your best angle. There you are taking a photo of yourself to share with all of your Facebook friends. Taking a self-portrait photo, also known as a selfie, is something almost everyone has done in this new generation. This action is typically done without a second thought. In Alex Williams’ article “Here I Am Taking My Own Picture” that second thought is provoked through exploring the quickly spreading trend of self-portrait photography. In the article while Williams’ provides interesting examples on a changing generation as this trend progresses through social media and modern technology; Williams also leaves something to be desired within the article due to a lack of direction in the author’s stance on the topic.
Leica Camera is a German camera company and was one of the primary makers of non-digital cameras in the world, but it is wide to fit in the new digital world.
As you can see, there is a big world waiting for you to capture and mold its image. Whether you just want to remember that sunset on your honeymoon, your little one’s first steps or even if you click your shutter at everything you pass… the right equipment certainly helps. Whatever equipment you use, with good lighting and attention to such details as film type and speed, distance from subject, rule of thirds, and an eye for what you want, you can make beautiful photos that you and yours will cherish for generations to come.
Now now, I know that it might not seem like an important topic to ponder over, but with the easy access to a camera on the iPhone, I thought it would be great to share some tips and tricks on the iPhone camera since not all of us own a professional camera or even have the time to head over to Martin Hall to check one out. I would have to say, the iPhone camera is one of the best invention since sliced bread. HAHA. Ever since the great invention of the iPhone camera, iPhonegraphy (iPhone-photography) is now commonly used to take photographs compared to professional cameras and even a compact digital camera.
A photographs exposure determines how light or dark an image will appear when it’s been captured by your camera. Believe it or not, this is determined by just three camera settings, APERTURE, ISO and SHUTTER SPEED (the exposure triangle).

Practically everyone in modern society takes pictures. We use photography in our every day life, from taking “selfies”, capturing family events, or to a job if you’re a professional photographer. Yet most to most people, there is an oversight of how cameras are controlled. Have you ever wondered what all of those numbers mean on a camera’s display? Or perhaps why someone would have a mode where you were left in charge of those strange numbers?
Level: Beginner|Duration: 2.5 hrs|Always Available 6. A Total Intro to Photography (aka Reddit Photoclass): Reddit continues to astonish me! Alexandre Buisse instructed this 30-part class to 7,000 Redditors a couple of years earlier. Now archived on his website, this gem covers every little thing from gear to post processing. Great for those that prefer reviewing to viewing video clips.
It was the coolest gift I had ever received! I immediately pressed the power button and took snapshots of everything around me in the restaurant, including some unappreciative costumers. I experimented around with the zoom toggle switch and different amounts of flash for lighting. At home, I would spend hours in our backyard capturing magenta and violet flower from various angles. Every evening, I would run out on to our deck to get the perfect picture of the sky melting into bright reds, oranges, and pinks as the sun hid behind Mount Adams.
+Marking a test with lots of questions about digital camera to show that what consumers¡¯ need is, what they want and what motivation cause they to own a digital camera.
