During my time shooting pictures and overall working on the Shutter Priority assignment, I found it kind of hard to do since I was just learning how to operate a camera. It wasn’t my first time picking up a camera but it was my first time actually taking pictures and learning the new foundations that […]
This second assignment went a bit more smoothly but also significantly faster and so I don’t recall much of what happened during the picture taking process itself. I do however recall the lecture on the function of aperture and greatly appreciated the way in which that was taught. I learn best through lectures so a […]
Being my first assignment in the class I had a ton of fun experiencing the freedom of a camera and it’s controls even though it was just focused on one aspect. Since I was a little kid on a trip in Hawaii, I’ve really enjoyed the composition in photos so learning techniques revolving around motion […]
What I learned in this assignment was how to adjust my aperture to focus on a subject. With a lower f-number, I saw that it isolates the subject and makes the subject clear and the background more blurry. A challenge I had was when the f-number was too low the exposure on the picture would […]
Reflection: Something I was able to do pretty easily was adjust the ISO based on the lighting of the room or outside. I learned that for lighter settings you do a lower ISO number like 200 and for a darker setting you do a higher number like 3000. A challenge I had was that when […]
For shutter speed, I struggled most of the time with trying to adjust the lighting, what I wanted to capture, and how to capture it. At the very beginning when we were first testing it out it was hard to figure out how everyone else was getting a well-captured picture with a blurry background while […]
For my motion blur shots, I noticed the color guard performers in action. So, my group and I positioned ourselves in front of them to capture the photos. Specifically, I stood in front of the individuals twirling the flags, ensuring their movements would be beautifully blurred. To achieve this effect, I opted for a relatively […]
Through this experience I learned the significance of shutter speed when taking pictures. Increasing and decreasing the shutter speed number can change a picture in so many ways. When you increase the shutter speed number this allows the camera to open and close the shutter faster. However when the shutter speed number is decreased the […]
To take my aperture photos I walked around in a flower bed to look for some butterflies or bees. For my low aperture photos I took some pictures of some butterflies on some little blue flowers. For the photo I chose for my Depth of Field project I put it on the lowest setting for […]
For the aperture photos I went to look for butterflies or bees at the flower beds near the quad. For my low aperture photos I took many of a little butterfly in the flowers bed. For the photo I chose I used the lowest setting for F which was f-1.8. It was a little hard […]
