2019 fall semester grades and exam study guide

Posted on December 5

I am requesting compliance with all school rules, policies, and procedures especially SSA and electronic devices. I am documenting non-compliance.

Today's agenda

•Check your grades in Infinite Campus. Let me know if you think I have made a mistake. You must show me completion of any assignment you have completed and not received credit for.
This is my first priority.

•I will return completed written assignments except for "What is My Grade?". You may keep them for the exam. You may have others saved in your folder.

•Study guide

https://stevecampbellhillwood.blogspot.com/2019/11/exam-study-sheet-fall-2019.html

This study guide is not available during the exam in any form.

•You may use your computer during the exam. For example, if you are asked to draw a picture of the Move Tool in Photoshop and you do not know that answer, you could open Photoshop, hover over the tools in the Photoshop Toolbar, and you will see the name of each tool. When you see the tool that reads Move Tool, you could draw the picture or symbol for that tool.

If you cannot log in on your computer, it is your responsibility to be able to do that before exam day.

•Phones are not permitted during your exam time.

•As part of your exam, create a digital portfolio on Google Drive. Have at least 5 images in this portfolio. Here are the directions.

Directions for Digital Portfolio

1. Create a new folder. Title it: Your first name and last name_Portfolio

http://stevecampbellhillwood.blogspot.com/2016/01/making-new-folder.html

2. Save it on your computer.

3. Copy or place your "finished" artwork and photos into

your Portfolio folder.

4. Copy this into Google Drive

NOTE: All work in your Portfolio folder is your

BEST work, not just any work you have done

exposure from Cambridge

Exposure

Name:____________________________________________________Block________

Directions:

Google “good photographic exposure photos” and go to images to view good exposures.

Go to this link, read and answer:

https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/camera-exposure.htm

1. Correct exposure of a photo in one that is not too dark or not too light.

If exposure is like collecting water in a bucket, and it is underexposed, it is

too_______________. If it is overexposed it is too__________________.

2. Exposure is determined by 3 interconnected factors. List them.

3. Shutter speed: controls the _______________________ of the exposure

Which shutter speed is faster, 1/60 or 1/125?

4.The shutter speed specifically refers to how _______________ light is permitted to enter the camera

5. If you want to freeze or stop the action of a running football player the best shutter speed range is________________________________________

6. If you are using a slow shutter speed such as 1/15 and you are hand-holding a camera, your

photograph may be ___________________________so you might want to attach your camera to a

___________________________

7. Aperture: controls the area over which light can _____________________ your camera. This means it con

trols the amount of light that enters a camera.

8. The size of an aperture is referred to as f/stops. Think of f/stops as fractions. Which pice of pizza is bigger,

1/2or 1/8?______________

9. So which is the larger lens opening or f/stop, f4 or f16?_________________ Which lets in the least

amount of light?_______________

10. A camera’s aperture setting is what determines a photo’s depth of field (the range of distance over which

objects appear in __________ focus). Lower f-stop values or larger lens openings correlate with a shallower

depth of field. Search depth of field so you understand it.

11. Which f/stop should have the largest depth of field, f/16 or f/4?______________

12. ISO speed: controls the sensitivity of your camera’s sensor to a given amount of _______________

13. ISO is similar to shutter speed, it also correlates 1:1 with how much the exposure increases or decreases.

However, unlike aperture and shutter speed, a _____________________ ISO speed is almost always desirable,

since higher ISO speeds dramatically increase image noise. As a result, ISO speed is usually only increased from

its__________________________ value if the desired aperture and shutter speed aren’t otherwise obtainable.

14.An ISO setting of 100, is used when a __________________________amount of light exists. You may need to

switch to large ISO setting such as IS0 3200 when a _____________________of light exists.

15. Describe digital image noise. Google an image and draw it or read and describe:

https://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/image-noise.htm

16. Which setting would produce more image noise 100 or 3200?_____________

17. With digital SLR cameras, a range of _________________-__________________ (or higher) is often acceptable.

Clean up food

........from Wednesday, behind a backdrop

I need 3 volunteers per class who

will be sure that food and trash

is cleaned up every day.

All you need to do is tell me if

trash is being left by someone

and/or tell me if you see trash

when you come in for your class.

If you are a volunteer, just tell me about
any trash issues. I will tell the person who needs to cleanup or I will cleanup. You NEVER should pickup someone
else's trash. That is THEIR responsibilty.

Trash = no food or beverages for one week.
