Guess the MetaData!
So, I thought it would be fun to guess not only the aperture but the shutter speed and the focal length as well.
Learn Photography
What is Aperture?
Aperture can be defined as the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter the camera. It is an easy concept to understand if you just think about how your eyes work. As you move between bright and dark environments, the iris in your eyes either expands or shrinks, controlling the size of your pupil.
f-stops are a way of describing the size of the aperture for a particular photo. For example, f/2.8 is larger than f/4 and much larger than f/11.
For more information, examples and videos see Understanding Aperture in Photography NOTE: Some cameras such as cell phones have very atypical numbering for aperture.
RULES & HOW TO PLAY
- For this Metadata Monday I would like you to guess the aperture setting that was used to take the photo. For example, you might guess “f/2.8”, or “f/11.” What makes this tricky is that some cameras allow 1/3 increments, and others 1/2 and some cell phones often have fixed apertures.
- Only one guess per person, per post.
- No editing your guess - you have to commit!
- Metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
- We are not required to tell you what kind of camera was used, or what time of day the photo was taken, or whether filters were involved (this adds to the mystery and the challenge!)
- Submissions are due by Wednesday at midnight PST
