1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree FAST
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings SLOW
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym SLOW
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard FAST
e.) people streaming in from the front doors FAST
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop SLOW

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree SLOW

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awningsLONG

c.) the Stars performance inside the gymSLOW

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyardSLOW

e.) people streaming in from the front doorsSLOW

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoopLONG

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
Auto- shutter speed and aperture are automatic
Aperture priority- set the lens aperture, the shutter speed is automatic
shutter priority- set the shutter speed and the camera aperture is automatically
manual- set both

Then answer the following questions:

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? get a better image of everything thats going on considering the low lighting
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? plenty of light
