25 Exposure Compensation / Adjustment 3 things that affect exposure triangle Light (aperture / f stop) Time (shutter speed) Sensitivity (ISO) Beware of half and 3 rd stop settings! A One stop adjustment will halve or double the amount of light, depending on direction of adjustment. To reduce by one stop, you could go from ISO 800 to ISO 400, or change the aperture from f2.8 to f4. The opposite movement would increase by 1 stop. 25

30 Cokin Filter Adapter Sizes Choosing the Right system C Creativefilter-holder E EVO filter holder(for wide angle at this size use a bigger system to avoid vignetting) FF under 28mm lens on full frame use bigger system 30

31 Beware While capable of producing great effects, if the main elements aren t there in the first place good lighting, sound composition, an interesting subject filter effects can never replace them. 31

33 The columns are separate, read up or down, not across from one to another. The shaded area contains the Whole ISO Speed, Whole Shutter Speed, or Whole Aperture. The area to the right of the shaded whole settings are the 1/3 or third stop numbers. The area to the left of the shaded whole settings are the 1/2, or half stop settings. ISO values don t come in halves. There are a few information gaps where no one can agree (such as the ranges between 1/4 sec and 2 secs.). uncapped.com/articles/p hotography/iso-shutterspeeds-f-stops/ 33

39 Exercise 2 Try shooting through window with reflections without a filter. Add polariser (rotate to reduce glare) Take shot and compare 39

40 Exercise 3 If dry go outside and try a sunset shot using a ND grad of some sort Take shot with and without filter shot at 1/30th of a second, the one on the right, shot at 30 seconds with a 10 stop ND filter on. 40

41 Exercise 4 Try shooting through a wine glass or a coloured bottle be creative with homemade filters! 41
