Photographic Aims

Choose: Isolate part of the image

Image in focus everywhere

Choose: Motion removed

Motion emphasized

Choose: Low noise

Maximum sensitivity

Choose: Maximum image quality

Page 13: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

Tips

It helps to know the ultimate destination

of your images because:

SIZE: Larger display sizes require more

sharpness, less unintentional blur and

less noise.

PRINT: Prints compared to electronic

displays demand more sharpness, less

blur and less noise.

Depth of Field

Isolate Part of the Image

If a shallow depth of field is required

Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop)

Use “Smaller” numbers (ƒ/1.4, ƒ/2, ƒ/2.8, ƒ/4)

Image in Focus Everywhere

If a deep depth of field is required

Set a narrow aperture (ƒ stop)

Use “Larger” numbers (ƒ/22, ƒ/16, ƒ/11, ƒ/8)

Aperture Setting Tips

As manufacturers put more and more

pixels on the same size sensor, the pixels

have to be made smaller and smaller.

This causes an overall and increasing

loss of sharpness as narrow apertures

are used (this is due to diffraction).

Page 18: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

In addition, it is very difficult (and

therefore very expensive) to build lenses

that produce the sharpest images using

very wide apertures.

This is especially true of zoom lenses,

when used at their shortest and longest

focal lengths.

Page 19: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

It is therefore best to:

Avoid the use of the narrowest and the

widest aperture settings unless

necessary to produce the depth of field

desired. Set ƒ/5.6, ƒ/8 or ƒ/11 to use the

lens at its sharpest.

Example Aperture Setting Scale

Ƒ/2.8●Ƒ/4●Ƒ/5.6●Ƒ/8●Ƒ/11●Ƒ/16●Ƒ/22

Ƒ/4●Ƒ/5.6●Ƒ/8●Ƒ/11●Ƒ/16

Show Motion

Motion Removed

If removal of motion is required

Set a fast shutter speed

Use “larger” numbers (1/8000, 1/4000, 1/2000, 1/1000, 1/500)

Motion Emphasized

If emphasis of motion is required

Set a slow shutter speed

Use “smaller” numbers (30”, 15”, 8”, 4”, 2”, 1”, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8)

Page 23: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

Shutter Speed Setting Tips

Shorter shutter speeds can be used to

prevent shooter or platform movement

from blurring an image (image stabilizers

can also help). As a rule, a shutter speed

equal to or shorter than

1/lens focal length can eliminate most

blurring (if using a crop sensor body,

multiply the focal length by 1.5, 1.6 or 2

to be sure).

Page 24: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

Shorter shutter speeds can be used

remove subject movement (or longer

shutter speeds used to emphasize

subject movement). The actual speeds

required are best determined by

experimenting, experience and testing.

For example, most human movement can be

removed at speeds equal to or

shorter than 1/250 and most animal movement

using a setting of 1/1000 or 1/2000.

Page 25: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

Portraits can usually be taken without

visible motion when using 1/125 and in

many cases the motion of moving water

or clouds can be emphasized using

shutter speeds of 1/8 to 2 seconds.

Page 26: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

ISO

Low Noise

If low noise is required

Set a low ISO number

Use “smaller” numbers (100, 200, 400)

High Sensitivity

If high sensitivity is required

Set a high ISO number

Use “larger” numbers (6400, 3200, 1600)

ISO Setting Tips

Since all noise reduction involves

blurring the image to a degree to remove

irregularities in density (luminosity

noise) and/or colour (colour noise), it is

best to use no noise reduction or use a

noise reduction setting as low as

possible.

Page 30: The Exposure Triangle in Action - Chatham Camera Club · Depth of Field Isolate Part of the Image If a shallow depth of field is required Set a wide aperture (ƒ stop) Use “Smaller”

It is therefore best to:

Avoid the use of the “H”, “H2” or “L”

settings.

Avoid the use of the highest two

settings.

Example ISO Setting Scale

L●100●200●400●800●1600●

3200●6400●12800●25600●H1●H2

Image Quality

Maximum Sharpness Throughout

If the image has to be as sharp as possible

Set an ƒ stop near the middle of the lens’ range

Typically ƒ/5.6, ƒ/8, ƒ/11
