PHOTOGRAPHY
It is the science, art, application and practice of creating durable images by
recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means
of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as
photographic film.
Teachers need to know the basic of photography for their own use in the
classroom like documenting a class project, field trip; or a special event or simply
incorporating it in a lesson.
CAMERA
It is an optical instrument for recording or capturing images, which may be stored
locally, transmitted to another location, or both. The images may be individual still
photographs or sequences of images constituting videos or movies.
The word camera comes from camera obscura, which means "dark chamber".
The functioning of the camera is very similar to the functioning of the human eye.
Ways of using camera in the classroom
1. Illustrate steps in a procedure
like in doing the projects, steps
in dancing, exercising or baking

3.) Document special school and classroom

events including field trips

2. Create a school news letter

4.) Create a year-end photo journal

5. Take photos of your students

Selecting a Camera
a) Cellphones and Smarphones
Todays cellphones are
called smartphones because
of
its
almost
complete
features including a camera.

b) Point and Shoot

This camera is
easy to use because you
only need to point it in
the general direction and
press the button then the
camera does the rest.
c) EVIL Cameras
(Electronic Viewfinder with
Interchangeable Lenses)
It describes a type of
camera that exists between a
point and shoot and a DSLR.
Much like DSLR, these
cameras have larger sensors,
support interchangeable lenses,
and provide better manual
controls.
Like a point and shoot,
theyre often easy to use and aim
to be as compact as possible.

d.) DSLRs
(Digital Single Lens
Reflex)
These
cameras always take
amazing
photos.
They offer so much
control
and
customization on the
photos
that
you
would like to take. It
has interchangeable
lenses which allow
you to always have
the best lens for a
specific exposure.

Basic Camera Parts:

a.) Lens
It is one of the most vital parts of a camera. The light enters through the
lens, and this is where the photo process begins. Lenses can be either fixed
permanently to the body or interchangeable. They can also vary in focal length,
aperture, and other details.

It can be
found on all DSLRs
and some models
of digital compacts.
On DSLRs, it will
be the main visual
source for imagetaking, but many of
todays
digital
compacts
have
replaced the typical
viewfinder
with
LCD screen.

b.) Viewfinder

c.) Body
The body is the main portion
of the camera, and bodies can be a
number of different shapes and
sizes. DSLRs tend to be larger
bodied and a bit heavier, while
there are other consumer cameras
that are conveniently smaller size
and even able to fit into a pocket.
d.) Shutter Release
many cameras, used to take a
picture. When pressed, the shutter of the
camera is "released", so that it opens to
capture a picture, and then closes, allowing
an exposure time as determined by
the shutter speed setting. Some cameras also
utilize an electronic shutter, as opposed to a
mechanical shutter. The shutter-release
button is one of the most basic features of a
handheld camera. Camera phones that lack a
physical button for this purpose use a virtual
button on the virtual keyboard.

e.) Aperture

The aperture affects

the images exposure by
changing the diameter of the
lens opening, which controls
the amount of light reaching
the image sensor. Some
digital compacts will have a
fixed aperture lens, but most
of todays compact cameras
have at least small aperture
range. This range will be
expressed in f/stops. For
DSLRs, the lens may vary on
f/stop limits, but it is usually
easily defined by reading the
side of the lens. There will be
a set of numbers stating the
f/stop or f/stop range, ex: f/2.8
or f/3.5-5.6. This will be your
lowest settings available with
that lens.

f.) Image Sensor

It
converts
the
optical image to
an
electronic
signal, which is
then sent to your
memory card.

g.) Memory Card

It stores all of the image
information, and they range in size
and speed capacity. The main types
of memory cards available are CF
and SD cards, and cameras very on
which type they require.
It is found
on the back of the
body and can vary
in size. On digital
compact cameras,
the
LCD
has
begun to replace
the
viewfinder
completely.
On
DSLRs, the LCD is
mainly for viewing
photos
after
shooting, but some
cameras do have
live mode as well.

h.) LCD Screen

i.) Flash
The on-board/built-in flash will be available on all cameras except some
professional grade DSLRs. It can sometimes be useful to provide a bit of extra
light during dim, low light situations.

The controls
on each camera will
vary depending on
the model and type.
Your basic digital
compacts may only
have auto settings
that can be used for
different
environments, while
a DSLR will have
numerous controls
for auto and manual
shooting along with
custom settings.
