SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD
This image was set on aperture priority mode, which means the aperture was set at f/3.5. By doing this, the focal length was shallow making the diaphragm of the camera let in way more light. This gave a slight blur to the background. The shutter speed was automatically set to 1/2000 of a second which is a faster speed. This allows less light to be shown through, but makes the main image being focused on freeze in motion (ie;the pinwheel and girl). |
GREAT DEPTH OF FIELD
The aperture in this image was set at f/22. This means that the focal length is longer giving a clear background. In this case the aperture opening was smaller which let in less light. Since this was shot with the aperture priority mode, the shutter speed was set to 1/30 of a second. This is a fairly long amount of time for the light to be exposed and gives the impression of the blurred pinwheel. |
MOTION BLUR
In shutter priority mode, I used a slower shutter speed to retrieve the effect that the pinwheel was continuously spinning. The shutter speed was set to 1/40 of a second which gave the affect of a blurred pinwheel in motion. The aperture was set to f/18 to give a clear focus to the background, making the foreground image blurred. |
FREEZE MOTION
In this mode, I was able to use a fast shutter speed (1/4000 of a second). This is an extremely quick shutter speed which allowed very little light out of the lens since it was open for such a short period of time. The aperture in this case was set to f/4 which gave the photo a perfect amount of exposure to balance out the shutter speed. This created the effect of an image frozen in time. |
OVEREXPOSED
At an aperture of f/22, the diaphragm hole is already so large and letting a lot of light in. With a shutter speed of 1/100 of a second, there is even more light being exposed since the lens is open for such a long time. This is why the image was so over exposed. |
UNDEREXPOSED
The underexposed image is due to having too little of light being exposed. In this case, the aperture was at f/2.8 which allowed a very small diaphragm to let light show through. By putting the shutter speed at 1/13 of a second it didn't let enough light through to produce a balanced image. |
PICTURE PERFECT
This image has correct exposure. The aperture is set at f/4 which allowed the perfect amount of light to be exposed with a shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second. This gives the image perfect exposure to light, distance and motion. |
Title: Falling Man
Photographer: Richard Drew Year: 2001 This photograph was taken on 9/11 when the attack occurred. There were many people that died that day and this man knew he was going to die regardless so he fled through the window along with others. This is a symbol of individuality and helplessness. |
