In this assignment my class was tasked with taking four pictures of motion to demonstrate the effects of different shutter speeds, as well as four pictures with varying degrees of depth of field to demonstrate the effects of different apertures. Shutter Speed Examples:This was the slowest image, with a shutter speed of 0.5 or 1/2. Because the shutter speed was so low, Zoe looks like a blur of motion. This was a slightly faster image, with a shutter speed of 1/10, so Zoe was still pretty blurry, but not nearly so as the first image. This image ha an even faster shutter speed, at 1/30, so Zoe is considerably less blurry, though still fairly soft. This image had a shutter speed of 1/80, so Zoe is far less blurry (though still fairly soft due to the capabilities of my camera). Aperture ExamplesThis image was taken with an aperture of 2.8, the biggest opening my camera has available to me. It i intended to increase the depth of field, though it's hard to see with the options my camera has. In this photo, the lock nearest to me is in focus, while the locks further back in the image are soft and unfocused. This image was taken with an aperture of 3.2, which is still a fairly wide opening. So, though they are slightly more in focus, the locks further back are still soft. This photo was taken with an aperture of 5.0, so the depth of field was considerably less, although the lockers in the far back of the image are still fairly unfocused. This photo was taken with an aperture of 6.3, among the smallest opening my camera offers, so the depth of field in the image is hardly perceptible, especially compared to the first image. In this image, both of the first two locks are in focus, while in the first image only the first one was clear. What I LearnedIn this assignment I learned the basics of shutter speed and aperture. I now know how to create varying degrees of depth of field with different apertures as well as different ways of capturing motion with different shutter speeds.
