Aperture and Shutter Speed

Aperture and Shutter Speed

This task was to experiment and play around with the settings on our cameras to see what type of images in which we could compose and create. On the four images below i have edited the Aperture to make the images look more blurry, and the backgrounds almost block colour.

Artists Photography - Shutter Speed

This image uses a relatively slow shutter speed, you can tell this by the lights featured on the cars are blurred and also the cars are not shown in the image. I like how this image looks abstract compared to others which are taken using a slow shutter speed.

This image has been taken using a faster shutter speed, you are able to see this by looking at the waterfall.  If this image was taken using a slow shutter speed, then the water would barely be visible due to it being so blurred. 

My Own photographs

I created this image using a very fast shutter speed, this was needed to catch the falling drops.  I also used a relatively low aperture so that the subject of the image would be primarily based on the spoon and falling droplets.

This image has been taken when the shutter has been open for longer than normal. This is why the subject is blurry, and it also shows the movement which has taken place whilst the shutter has been open. 

Artist Photography - Aperture

This Image was taken by an artist called Emily Moore, The aperture is once again F/1.8,  with this photograph being taken with a low aperture it creates a blurred background of the other sunflowers, but then it allows just one to be in focus.

This image also has a lows aperture which has been shown by the very blurred back ground which surrounds the leaf. with this image i love how the subject of the image is a singular leaf, this has been done on purpose to draw the eye to the main subject. 

My own Photographs

This image has been taken during a moderately low aperture, this is shown by the background being out of focus, but you can still see the things featured in the background. I also liked how Teasel was not looking directly at the camera, which makes the audience wonder what had caught her eye. 

This image has been captured using an even lower aperture, I set it to F/1.8 to make sure the background was almost completely blurred, and like a block colour.
I decided to photograph this image like this because i loved how the image is so dramatic, because of her piercing eyes once again looking at a something other than the camera.
