Project One:Portraits
This project is very similar to the induction project we done last year when we drew ourselves. The reason why we are doing it again is to get a better understanding on how the human face is structured.We are also doing this to see how much our skills have developed since last year.
Face anatomy research:
Here is a diagram of how the face is structured, after looking at this photo I realised we have a lot of muscles in our face. I knew we had quite a few but when you break it down like this you don't realise how many things make up an entire face.
Here is a drawing I done earlier of one of my peers.
On the left there is a picture of Jake so you compare the way he looks to my picture on the left. When drawing Jake I had no picture to reference I drew him whilst he was next to me and this is what I have got so far.
What is a DSLR camera?
After researching online I have found out that a DSLR camera has two names. It can be called a DSLR or can be know as a Digital Single Lens Reflex. This camera reflects light into the eyepiece so the user can see what they are going top take a picture of. It also lets light onto the image sensor so you can capture the image.
Here is a picture of a DSLR camera on the inside:

What is shutter speed?:
Shutter speed goes by two names which is shutter speed and exposure time. Exposure time is the certain amount of time it takes the camera shutter to open up and let light pass through to the camera sensor.
When the shutter speed is fast it can freeze an action completely.
Here is an example:
When the shutter speed is slow it blurs motion. This is called motion blur.

What is ISO?:
In digital photography ISO is a tool that measures the sensitivity of an image sensor. The lower the number the less sensitive the camera is to light. Higher the ISO settings are normally used in darker scenes to get a faster shutter speed. High ISO are commanly used at sporting events to capture a certain moment.

Here is a comparison of a high ISO and low ISO:
On the left we have a low ISO and on the right we have high ISO in this comparison we have one smooth picture and on the other picture we a have grainy look.

What is the best ISO settings?:
Here are some ISO recommendations I have found:
For a sunny day outside it is recommended to use an ISO between 100-200.
For a cloudy day or a window light portrait it is reccomended to use an ISO of 400.
For indoors without a flash it recommended to an ISO of 800.
For a very low light situations it is recommended to us an ISO of 1600 or above.
Another tip I found is if your not very familiar with how ISO work you can just use the automatic feature and the camera will do its best to adjust to the scenery.

What is the difference between a raw file and a jpeg?
A raw image file is an image that has saved all the information from the camera it keeps the sharpness and the contrast this is a file that has not been compressed or processed.
A jpeg file is a file that is processed and compressed by the device. Compression reduces the quality of images and that's why picture are some times lacking in quality.

What is F stop?
To know what an F stop is first we need to look into what an aperture is. Aperture a hole in the lens that lets light travel into the camera's body. Apertures are made in various sizes for example 1.4,2,2.8,4,5.6,8,11.16
