PAHAM SEGITIGA EXPOSURE DI FOTOGRAFI TERBARU 2023, TERLENGKAP!

Summary

In this video, Kevin, the owner of Kampus Visual, introduces his YouTube channel and dives into the fundamentals of photography, specifically the exposure triangle. He explains the three key components: shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Through practical examples, Kevin demonstrates how shutter speed affects motion blur, how aperture controls light and background blur, and how ISO helps capture photos in low-light conditions, despite potential noise. Kevin also highlights his online photography classes and encourages viewers to join his community for more detailed learning. The video is a comprehensive guide for aspiring photographers, packed with useful tips and techniques.

Takeaways

• 😀 The channel is run by Kevin, who is the owner of Kampus Visual, focusing on photography tips and tricks on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and now YouTube.
• 😀 The main topic of the video is the exposure triangle in photography, which consists of aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.
• 😀 Shutter speed determines how long light is allowed to enter the camera, affecting motion blur and image sharpness.
• 😀 Fast shutter speeds (e.g., 1/250 to 1/8000) freeze motion, while slow shutter speeds (e.g., 30 seconds to 1/30) capture movement and may cause motion blur.
• 😀 Using a slow shutter speed results in more light entering the camera, making the photo brighter, but can cause motion blur if the subject moves.
• 😀 Aperture controls how much light enters the camera and also affects depth of field—smaller aperture values (e.g., f/1.4) create a blurry background, while larger values (e.g., f/16) keep everything in focus.
• 😀 A larger aperture (smaller f-number) leads to more light and a blurred background, while a smaller aperture (larger f-number) reduces light and increases depth of field.
• 😀 ISO sensitivity forces the camera to become more sensitive to light, useful in low-light situations, but it may introduce noise or grain into the image.
• 😀 High ISO values (e.g., ISO 51,200) can result in noticeable noise, but this can be reduced in post-processing using software like Lightroom.
• 😀 Kevin offers an online photography course covering everything from camera setup to lighting and client negotiations, with a special promo for the course.
• 😀 The video encourages aspiring photographers in 2023 to learn and develop their skills, emphasizing that it's never too late to start and that the Kampus Visual community offers support and learning opportunities.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the exposure triangle in photography?

The exposure triangle is crucial for controlling the exposure in photography. It consists of three components: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, which work together to determine the exposure and overall quality of the image.

How does shutter speed affect a photo?

Shutter speed controls how long the camera's sensor is exposed to light. A fast shutter speed freezes motion, while a slow shutter speed can create motion blur, especially in moving objects or if the camera shakes during the shot.

What is the difference between fast and slow shutter speeds?

Fast shutter speeds (e.g., 1/1000) capture fast-moving objects clearly, while slow shutter speeds (e.g., 1/30) let in more light and can create motion blur, making moving objects appear smoother or showing their movement.

What is motion blur, and how does it occur?

Motion blur occurs when the camera or the subject is moving during a long exposure. It results in a streaked or blurred effect on moving objects, often used creatively to show the motion of the subject.

What is aperture and how does it affect a photo?

Aperture controls how much light enters the camera through the lens. A larger aperture (smaller f-number) lets in more light and creates a shallow depth of field, blurring the background. A smaller aperture (larger f-number) reduces the amount of light and increases the depth of field, making both the subject and background sharp.

How does aperture size influence background blur?

A wider aperture (smaller f-number like f1.4) creates a blurry background, known as 'bokeh,' because the depth of field is shallow. A smaller aperture (larger f-number like f16) keeps more of the image in focus, including the background.

What is ISO, and when should it be used?

ISO determines the camera’s sensitivity to light. A higher ISO makes the camera more sensitive to low light, but it can introduce noise (grain) in the photo. It is useful in low-light conditions when a faster shutter speed or larger aperture can't provide enough light.

How does increasing ISO affect a photo?

Increasing ISO allows the camera to capture images in lower light conditions, but it can introduce noise, which appears as grainy spots in the photo. The higher the ISO, the more noticeable the noise becomes.

What is noise in a photo, and how can it be reduced?

Noise refers to the grainy or speckled pattern that appears in an image, especially in photos taken with high ISO settings. It can be reduced using noise reduction tools in editing software like Lightroom.

How can you reduce color noise in an image?

Color noise can be reduced by adjusting the 'Color' slider in the noise reduction settings in Lightroom. This helps remove unwanted color spots, such as red or green specks, that often appear with high ISO settings.
