Best Answer

Slow film speed (ISO) will make a photograph grainier. It also will be more likely to blur the subject, so you should use a tripod if at all possible. Faster speeds of film are used for capturing action shots.

In photography what does mm mean?

Millimeter (1/1000th of a meter).In photography, the term millimeter is used mainly in two contexts: 1) to describe the focal length of a particular lens. In basic terms, the number value in millimeters is the distance of the lens to the film (or image sensor), when focused on a subject at infinity.The focal length of a lens affects the degree of magnification of the object being photographed. 2) Film size is often expressed in either millimeters or centimeters. Normal 35mm format films measure 24 by 36mm, while medium format films would create 6x6cm or 6x9mm negatives, depending on camera manufacturer and model type.


What is panning mean in photography?

In still photography, it involves keeping a subject in the view finder when it is moving diagonally or transversely with respect to the photographers position. The exposure is made while the camera is following and does not stop until the shutter has closed. The effect varies with the speed of the pan (due to the speed of the subject) and the shutter speed used. Slower shutter speeds and fast pans will blur the background extensively while the subject is rendered more sharply. If this is a car, most of it would be sharp if done correctly. However, a running person's torso may be relatively sharp while their legs and arms would not be. With manual focused lenses, it is necessary to pre-focus on the same plane that the subject will be in at the anticipated moment of exposure before the pan begins. In motion picture photography, panning involves moving the camera through a range of distance while the film/video is running (the images are being taken).

What does slides mean in photography?

Before the days of digital photography cameras could take negative film or positive slide film. The slide film was produced directly as a coloured translucent image and this image could be put in a projector and shown enlarged on a screen. I still have many hundreds of slides.

What does ISO 400 speed mean?

'ISO' refers to the speed at which electronic image sensors (in digital cameras) and film (in film cameras) react to light to form a picture. So ISO 400 is just one particular setting from the range of options on your camera.'ISO' is not an acronym for a technical detail of the sensor. It simply stands for the organisation who devised the system and determined the measurements: International Organization for Standardization. The system is more or less standardized across film and digital photography., with the same aperture and shutter speed values, a film and a digital camera set to ISO 400 would produce similar results in terms of exposure.It's a decent rule of thumb to stick to ISO 100 (or the lowest option on your particular camera) whenever possible. The higher the ISO, the lower the quality of the image. So with a faster sensor/film (which makes low light digital photography much easier) you sacrifice some quality.Whilst digital cameras are capable of ISO speeds much faster than 400, and the image quality at this speed will remain quite good, it is faster than required for most shots.

What do you mean byTraditional photography?

Traditional Photography refers to the use of a film camera. In order to see the prints/images, you'd have to either develop them yourself in a darkroom, or have them developed by a lab such as Walgreens, CVS, etc. or you could take them to a photo or printing business. The camera most often used is a 35mm and you use film instead of a memory card. The use of traditional photography IS out there, though it is less common nowadays. Most people have made the transition to Digital Photography, where the lenses are still interchangeable, but you can see your work right away, you use a memory card instead of film, and you can even print your images from home.Hope this helped.
