Project Description
The Exposure Triangle
Making an Exposure
To learn camera skills and how to properly expose, we will be creating in class presentation using Google Classroom. This project will help you understand the process and skills necessary for shooting moving objects, capturing motion blur or freezing the image. You will also learn the setting to show depth, focus on one portion of the photograph while blurring out another and other shooting/exposure techniques.
The Exposure Triangle
The Project
In groups, you will be presenting your findings on topics related to the Exposure Triangle. There are several points you will need to know for this unit:
- Camera Parts – Shutter, shutter release, light meter, camera body, lens, advance lever, Film release button, film rewinder, iso dial, aperture setting, shutter speed dial.
- Lenses – Wide angle, standard/prime (50mm), telephoto, zoom, macro.

- A five-question multiple choice quiz
- Your own samples (shot with a digital camera) to include in your materials
- Professional examples demonstrating the
- Each student must have a part in the presentation in class.
Second, use online research tools to gather photos, diagrams, drawings, etc. Or make them yourself!
