Basic Daylight Exposure (BDE) Vocabulary
For this vocabulary excersize you will be breaking into groups of 5. Each student will be selecting on of the following terms to create a Verbal Visual Word Association(VVWA).
To create a VVWA you will take a piece of paper, fold it in half horizontally, then in half vertically. While it it still folded dog ear the inside center corner. When you unfold this should create a diamond in the center with four other quadrents. You will need to fill out the following information for your vocabulary term.
Once you have completed your card share out with your group so that you all have a good understanding of all of the words. These vocabulary worrds are really the building blocks for the rest of the term.
- Exposure
- Exposure Triangle
- F-stop
- Shutter Speed
- ISO

- Center Diamond - The Word
- Top Left - Definition of the Word
- Top Right - Image that reminds you of the definition
- Bottom Left - Annalogy/ personal association
- Bottom Right - How it is used in photography
Once you have completed your card share out with your group so that you all have a good understanding of all of the words. These vocabulary worrds are really the building blocks for the rest of the term.

Understanding the Exposure Triangle
It is essential to understand the relationship between the three elements of exposure. The following article will help explain how they all work together to create the perfect exposure.

What are the three elements of the exposure triangle? 2. How do they all work together? 3. In the metaphor, why do you think the camera is equal to the brain? 4. Why is the opening of the aperture bigger as the number is smaller? 5. With Shutter Speeds what are the two aspects that change as you move up or down within the triangle? |
3. Using Basic Daylight Exposure in Different Lighting Situations
For this assignment you will be using the BDE wheel to determine the correct exposure in different lighting situations. You and a partner will be sharing a camera and a tripod. Each person should shoot all of their pictures in a row, then switch off. You will be turning in a contact print of all of your pictures, so they need to be together, not every other picture. Use ISO 100 as the starting point when calculating each exposure. Write down your exposure combinations prior to going out to shoot. Then when shooting set the camera to Manual Mode. Go to the appropriate lighting condition. Dial in the F-Stop and Shutter Speeds into the camera.
Take the following pictures:
F-Stop Shutter Speed
1. Full sun with medium depth of field _______________ ______________
2. Open shade with fastest possible SS _______________ ______________
3. Inside the Classroom with expansive D-O-F _______________ ______________
4. Backlit subject exposed for shadows with shallow D-O-F _______________ ______________
5. Inside classroom with fastest possible SS _______________ ______________
* SS = Shutter Speed and D-O-F Depth Of Field
