Natural Lighting - Class Task

Shutter Speed: 1/60

This is a diffused lighting except in this image, I didn't use the diffuser. Instead I used the tree's

which was blocking out the sun that gave me the look of diffused light.

In this image I also used composition (depth of field) as you can see where my

subject is in focus and my background is out of focus with another person walking away/out of

the passage/walkway.

This is an example of direct sunlight on my subject. My subject is lying on the grass

because the grass represents texture.

This image is my reflected image. Using the gold reflector to the right side of the

subjects face and body to fill in the shadows and to also give a warmth sort of look to the

subject. The subject is sitting on the wooden pole because the wooden

poles represents line.

The four images above are the original photo's to the panorama

photo which is shown below. With the use of Photoshop I was able to merge

all four images to create my panorama.

Line and Pattern

Line and Pattern 1

- This was edited as it was a little over-exposed

Camera Set on: TV

Shutter Speed: 1/160

ISO: 100

White Balance: Daylight

F stop 7.1

In this image, we have the path as a line. Also imagining the trees as a line

and the continuos trees or the trees being in a line as an example

of pattern.

Line and Pattern 2

Camera Set on: TV

Shutter Speed: 1/250

ISO: 100

White Balance: Daylight

F stop 13

We have this as an example of line and pattern. The lines are the squares

and this also creates a zig-zag pattern on the concrete.

Line and Pattern 3

Camera Set on: TV

Shutter Speed: 1/250

ISO: 100

White Balance: Daylight

F stop 9.0

In this example for line and pattern. We have the wooden poles and also the yellow

lines on the side of the road and also the line that the curve creates. The

pattern in this image would be the poles as its continuos.

Line and Pattern 4

Camera Set on: TV

Shutter Speed: 1/250

ISO: 100

F stop 5.6

This is found in the shopping centre in Otara. It has a lot of lines

that creates patterns and shapes you can see like circles, triangles and rectangles.

Line and Pattern 5

Camera Set on: TV

Shutter Speed: 1/250

ISO: 100

White Balance: Daylight

F stop 7.1

These lines are also an example of line and patterns. Although the lines make a triangle

but also creates a pattern on this window.

Composition - Rule of thirds/Class Task

In these two images I have shown, it shows the rule of thirds being applied. The rule of thirds is like 4 imaginary lines (two going vertically and two horizontally) that splits the image in three but somehow connects together using the lines.

Rule of Thirds - Photoshop Task 1

On Photoshop as a class, we chose a photo and drew on

our rule of thirds grid. This is how it turned out in the 

end as shown above. (Photoshop Task 1)

Rule of Thirds - Photoshop Task 2

This is where we learnt to use quick selection. We picked an

animal we liked, selected around the animal, copied

and pasted it on to the background image with the rule of thirds

grid that we had drawn on.

Aperture Test - Home Task & Research

Camera Set On: M (manuel) ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/60 Aperture: 5.0
In this image, it has a deep depth of field because everything is in focus. Meaning that not only my subject is in focus, my background is also in focus and everything else in this image.

Camera Set On: M (manuel) ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/60 Aperture: 5.0
This second image shows a shallow depth of field. This means the subject is focus but the background is blurred or is not in focus.

Shutter Research - Slow Shutter Speed Image

Slow and smooth waterfalls, 1/30 of a second, Photo by Hamed Saber

This image is an example of a Waterfall shot at a slow shutter speed. You can see that everything is in focus except the water. Because the water is moving fast and the shutter speed is slow, this causes the water to be blurry and not in focus with the rest of the image. To capture a picture like this, the photographer Hamed Saber used a tripod. If he took it without a tripod, everything would look blurry.

Shutter Speed 3

Shutter Speed - Image 3

Image shot at 1/200. There is no blurriness as this was a fast shutter speed.

Shutter Speed 2

Shutter Speed 2

Image taken at 1/13 of a second. This shows blurriness because this image was taken at a slow shutter speed.
