How light enters the camera

How a Camera works

Light enters the camera through the barrel lens, where it goes through the adjustable aperture which controls the among of light which enters the camera. The larger the hole the more light can enter which means the F number is lower allowing the subject to be in focus and the background to be blurred. the smaller the aperture hole the higher the F number, this means less light enters the camera and the full frame is in focus.

 The light then hits the back mirror infont of the shutter and the sensor plate where it is reflected into the prism of mirrors in the top of the camera out through the viewfinder where the photographer can see it. When taking a image the mirror has to move for the shutter to release, this is the split second where the photographers vision goes blank. 

This image shows the part of a camera. This helps us to understand how a camera works and how a photo can be developed using a camera. It explains what every part is and what it does. It helps us to know how to use the camera and save time learning what each button does.

Panoramic Experiment

Image
Panoramic Experiment  I went out and shot a series of photos which overlap each other. I experimented using the camera portrait and landscape and also taking straight portrait images and taking landscape overlapping images, such as the last two. Photoshop > automate > photomerge Then select the photos I wanted to use and photoshop merged them together.  I then experimented with the different themes such as, reposition, collage, perspective, cylindrical and spherical.  These different themes changed the way the panoramic looked.  Theme : Collage I like this theme of editing as it doesn't make the photo look spherical. It makes the image look like a wide angle lens. I think this could be refined by extending the view and making sure the final images line up. Theme : Spherical This image looks rounded. I don't like how it looks stretched and further away. I also don't like how the final outcome of this image because to loose the white...
