Time: Activity 5

Time: Activity 5

For this shoot, Carla and I also went to the trails out behind our houses. The light was fading and we wanted to hurry, so I didn't pay much attention to the artistic aspects of the pictures, but they each demonstrate sharp and fluid forms. 


In this image, Carla looks like Bethany Hamilton because her arms appear cut off with everything below the humerus in a non visible blur. I also like the golden light behind the mountains.


In this picture, Carla was about to throw a stone; so her arm was in motion, while the rest of her is in focus. In this one, the color of the green tree add color and interest.


In this photo, Carla has thrown the stone so her whole body is in motion besides her face. In this photo I tried to use a rule of thirds composition.


Lastly, in this picture, Carla is holding a stick and moving it rapidly back in forth. This resulted in the stick being blurred with the rest of Carla clear.

In this photo, the photographer must have used a very slow shutter speed to be able to draw all the light figures with such detail and not show up at all in the background. He may have used a shutter speed of at least 30 seconds and a very small aperture so as not to over expose the photo. Some technical difficulties the photographer may have faced are blocking anyone from walking in the background in the public space and making sure the light reflecting off the metal ramp was not dominating the photo.

Time: Activity 3

Time: Activity 3

To capture these images, Carla and I went out to some mountain trails near our houses and ran down the path. We went around 5 PM and we noticed that the light was fading fast. 

-Fast Shutter Speed
For the faster images I used a shutter speed of 1/250 and a F5.6 aperture and had Carla run fast down the path doing jumps and turns.




-Slow Shutter Speed
For these photos I used a 1/60 shutter speed and a F5.0 aperture.

In this photo, the photographer must gave used an incredibly fast shutter speed to capture the bursting motion of all three balloons with them still holding their form. Some challenges the photographer may have encountered are trying to keep the camera dry with the bursting of the water balloons, and trying to keep all the balloons aligned while the object shot through them. 

The depth of the field is pretty much nonexistent. Because of the black background you can't tell what the depth of field is. There is a strong sense of movement from this photo, you can almost feel the texture of the bursting water and the small bullet traveling through the base of the balloons.

This is more than just a photo, it is almost as if the people in the image are still moving. The unawareness of the people and the very ordinary scene only add to the photos sense of life. You can see the mans hand caught in mid motion of pouring the wine or the boats smooth glide across the water.

Light: Activity 4

Light: Activity 4

-Maximum Depth of Field

1. This photo takes advantage of maximum depth of field and uses it to its advantage so the entire photo, not just perhaps the flowers are in the photo. The photographer probably used a wide aperture to let in lots of light to get this light exposure.

2. This photo demonstrates maximum depth of field because everything in the frame is in the same level of focus. This works to the photos advantage because without any of these elements in the photo, the content would have suffered. The photographer may have used a large aperture to capture an exposure to capture more light in the fading light of the setting sun.

-Shallow Depth of Field

1. This photo uses shallow depth of field because one of the gnomes is farther in front and not in focus and the back gnome is in focus. It is also taken on a smaller scale. The photographer most likely used a smaller aperture because the photo looks like it was taken in mid afternoon. Very shallow depth of field

2. In this picture, shallow depth of field is demonstrated because the Coke can in the middle is in focus while the others are not. The photographer most likely used an aperture appropriate for indoor settings because one can tell this picture was taken indoor.
