Stop Motion and Long Exposure

Stop Motion

 

Long Exposure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.  The images shown above represent their labels based on the shutter speed of the camera when I took the shots.  The picture of the Maserati and the picture of the water drops were taken with a high shutter speed.  However, the picture of the waterfall and the picture of the cars driving by the Playland Arcade were both taken with a slow shutter speed, around 20-30 seconds.

 

2.  What I learned from this project is that I can utilize my camera's settings, such as shutter speed, to create a more interesting photo, and either capture motion or stop it.

 

3.  What I found most easy about this project was finding a subject to shoot (although I jjust happened to be passing by the Maserati on the highway).  What I found most difficult was adjusting my camera's setting, in order to capture motion perfectly.

 

4.  My strongest image would have to be the image of the water fall.  This is because, unlike the image of the cars passing by, the motion within the image is more clear, and it is easier to tell what motion is going on.

 

5.  My weakest image would have to be of the Maserati.  This is because the front end of the Maserati is blurred, while the rest of the car is still.

 

6.  If I were to do this project again, I would choose different subjects to shoot, so that I could explore long exposure photogaphy a bit more than I have already.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High and Low Depth of Field

 

 High Depth of Field

Low Depth of Field

1. These images represent their titles perfectly, as the first two pictures were taken by utilising the different tools and settings on my camera to show a high depth of field, and the third image was taken by utilising the same tools and settings, but with a lower depth of field.

2.  From this assignment, I learned how to properly utilise the settings and funtions of my camera and lens to create the feel of a high and low depth photo.

3.  I found this project to be quite easy, as you only have to adjust the focus of the lens, as well as afew other things on the camera itself, to get the high depth and low depth of field.

4.  My strongest image would have to be the third image of this post, of a shell.  I believe that this is my best image, as the shell, which is right on the edge between the foreground and the background, is the only object in focus.  The wire and shells in the foreground are blurred, just as the whole background is.

5.  My weakest image would have to be that of the old Morgan.  I believe this to be the truth, as the front end of the car, including the mirror, is a bit blurry and out of focus.

6.  If I were to do this project over again, I would have to find more interesting subjects.  Also, I would have to use different lighting (although the image of the Chevy BelAir steering wheel was taken during the sunset).
