Photography Exposure Simulator: Visualizing Camera Settings Effects
By
sneela
Looks the part, but the middle's still raw. Chew with caution.
Summary
This article describes an online photography exposure simulator tool that demonstrates how different camera settings affect final photographs. The tool simulates depth-of-field based on f/stop settings and image noise/grain based on ISO settings. The author notes that the exposure portion doesn't work with Internet Explorer and recommends using Chrome or Firefox instead. Future plans include adding moving props to demonstrate shutter speed effects on moving objects.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledThe exposure portion of this simulator currently does NOT work with Internet Explorer! Please use Chrome or Firefox instead.
This tool attempts to roughly simulate a final photograph given a particular set of camera settings.
The simulation includes demonstrating depth-of-field based on the current f/stop, as well as image 'noise' or 'grain' that is introduced into a picture as you increase the ISO.
If I ever find a good moving prop like a small fan, maybe I'll also re-shoot new previews to demonstrate how shutter speed affects moving objects.
