Assignment 4

Motion

Fast:



For the fast pictures I took a picture of water and one of bubbles. I had also experimented with using a slow shutter speed with water and I think it worked better with fast. The bubbles were actually really hard because they moved around so much it was difficult focusing on them.

Slow:


With slow shutter speed, I took a picture of weeds moving in the wind and water falling. With the weeds, I had this idea that I thought would work but I couldn't get the aperture I wanted so it didn't turn out how I wanted. But it taught me how interconnected shutter speed and aperture is.

Depth of Field:

Wide Depth:Narrow:

Near Object:
Far Object:Sharp:
I definitely enjoyed playing around with depth of field more than with shutter speed, which is a first for me. I usually like using a very narrow depth of field and change the shutter speed but for this assignment I liked experimenting with aperture, especially wide depth. In my mind, I've always thought that to draw attention in a photo it's best to make that the only thing in focus. But this assignment taught me how to show the focus with composition, not just making it the literal focus.
