RAW vs. JPEG

PART  1:
Advantages of RAW - One is that it is much easier to edit, two is the files come uncompressed, third is higher dynamic range.
Disadvantages of RAW - It isn't as sharp
Advantages of JPEG - One it is sharper, second it is higher contrast, third is small in file size.
Disadvantage of JPEG - Lower in dynamic range

PART 2:
JPEG - In my own word JPEG is a file that comes in image form. It is also lighter than RAW images.
RAW - In my own words RAW is a file that can easily be edited into any file because it doesn't come as any specific file.

PART 3:
1. The RAW files retain all the data. Much more than a JPEG image captures because JPEG captures the picture in the camera and a RAW file just gets the data and will do all the capturing and compressing on the computer.
2. The RAW files let you edit and manipulate the pixel as opposed to letting the camera do it automatically.
3. Consider that not all cameras have RAW setting, the Raw image will be much larger than a JPEG and other types of images and that  you can convert a RAW file to a JPEG file.
4. Because if they don't know what a RAW file is then they might not be able to convert it to any other type of file, and that wouldn't be good at all.

PART 4:
RAW - Whenever you know you might be editing it later, whenever you don't know what type of file you want it to be it would be good to be able to edit it to a different file when you know, also whenever you want to be able to put it in  lightroom.
JPEG - Whenever you want the picture to take up as least space as you can, whenever you know you will want the image to be a JPEG.

1st 6 Weeks Free Shoot

These photos were taken at Oak Hill Baseball Fields on September  20th. They are all non posed shots and all action shots. I had to use a camera lens that was able to zoom in closer than the original camera lens thats on the camera.

Free Shooting Planning

1. 

2. Sports but more specifically baseball.

3. I will shoot it here at Akins or at Oak Hill baseball fields. I will be shooting my brother.

4. Outdoors

5. The time will be anywhere from 8 A.M to 10 P.M

6. It could be Dim, Dark or Bright.

7. I wont need any equipment because it will all be very active so i wont need a tripod to keep it still cause the shutter speed will be fairly high.

8. I hope to be shooting at least 5 photos of my brother.

Sunny 16 Rule and Basic Exposure Constant

Explanation: You should learn sunny 16 rule because when its sunny you need to know how to blur out the background to bring more attention to the object you want it to go to/the closer object.
ISO: The ISO setting you should use is 100. Or 125 is the camera doesn't have 100.
Stops: Adding one bulb to one is only 1 stop.
Full Stops: The ones that represents a whole number are the even numbers.
List of Full F stops: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14 and 16

Sunny 16 Rule

The sunny 16 rule states: On a bright, sunny day, the correct exposure for any middle tone subject is F/16 at the shutter speed nearest to the reciprocal of the film speed.

Equivalent Exposure- Different settings same amount of light.

If you want a different depth of field then use this rule.

Aperture and Shutter Speed Practice

Set 1:
F4- 1/500
F5.6- 1/640
F8- 1/800
F11- 1/1000
F16- 1/1600
F22- 1/2000
Set 2:
1. Visible
2.  Just a little blurry but still visible
3. Its not that visible
4. Can tell what it is but still blurry
5. Cant really see the background
6. Blurry
Set 3:
1. They are either being slowed down or will be blurred out depending on the speed of the shutter.
2.  Bump up or down the aperture and ISO.
3. A fast shutter speed and low aperture or low shutter speed and high aperture.

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO Review

Aperture
1. Your eye or the pupil of the eye.
2. The F number, the higher the opening.
3. Depth of Field is the area that is sharp in the image. The higher the aperture the sharper the image is.
4. AF and MF
5. 18-55

Shutter Speed
1. 1/4000
a. Fast
b. Slow
c. Slow
d. Medium
e. Slow
f. Fast
a. Fast
b. Slow
c. Slow
d. Medium
e. Slow
f. Fast
2. Aperture Priority, Manual, and Shutter Priority. Aperture priority is you change the aperture and shutter speed changes with it. The shutter speed priority is the opposite. The manual is you set both to what you think they need to be at.
3. 1/200 1/400 1/600 1/800

ISO

1. It would show more detail on the players or field or whatever you are taking a picture of.
2. When there is plenty of light.
3. When its darker you need to have it higher.
4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
