Shutter Speed

The setting in "picture perfect" supposed to be dark. We combined ISO, aperture, and shutter speed together to make the picture look like it has light. We set the ISO to 400, our shutter speed was 13 seconds, and our aperture was 5.8 f-stop. We had to stand still for along time without moving. The way shutter speed interacted with ISO and the aperture was that we had to set the shutter speed high.

ISO: Film Speed

ISO is the film speed. It catches how much light there is. ISO 50 is darker thsn ISO 5000. The flash looks a bit clearer, but you can barely see the lights. When there's a lot of light you can use ISO 50 instead of flash. The bigger the ISO, the grainer it will be. When you use a fast ISO, you'll capture more lights in the dark.

Fill in Flash Experiment

Fill in flash is when it flashes all the time. It flashes even in the day light sun! If there was a shadow blocking your face and your standing in the sun, you can use that flash to make it look better. You can see your face better. In my first photo I used fill in flash as you can see. It looks better than the second picture I have. It's good to have fill in flash once in awhile.

Metering

Metering is when it measures the amount of light there is. In the first picture, I metered from my partners face and then back. On the second picture, I metered from the computer screen and back. On the first picture the camera tells us that the picture needs light to see the person's face. When I metered from the computer screen, it didn't add light because the computer already has light. It can also help you in the future if you want to take pictures in a dark lit room.
