aperture part 3

wide aperture 3.5 to 5.6

2nd photo critique

1. Explain what Aperture this photographer may have used What elements of this photograph tell you this? Most likely the photographer, used a narrow aperture, it has motion blur, but there is no focal blur.

2. Explain what shutter speed this photographer may have used. How can you tell?
The photographer used a slower shutter to catch the motion of the 2 women fencing.

3. Describe how the lighting in this picture contributes to the overall tone or mood of the photograph? What would this photograph be like if it were shot under bad lighting conditions?
If this photo were to be shot under bad lighting the picture would be grainy and not as clear.
The lighting in this photo is just bright enough to allow the shutter to catch the 2 women in motion. With-out the correct settings and lighting this shot would be very hard to take.

4. Does this photograph demonstrate the Rule of thirds? Why or why not?
Yes, this photo is balanced out very well. The rule of thirds was most likely a tool used in this photo.

1. Explain what Aperture this photographer may have used What elements of this photograph tell you this? This photo was shot with a wide aperture as you can tell the depth of feild is very shallow and the baseball is all that is clear.

2. Explain what shutter speed this photographer may have used. How can you tell?
The photographer used a fast shutter to stop the motion of the baseball in mid-flight.

3. Describe how the lighting in this picture contributes to the overall tone or mood of the photograph? What would this photograph be like if it were shot under bad lighting conditions?
You would have to have great lighting to capture this shot, because the shutter wouldn't fire fast enough to stop the ball with out blur.

4. Does this photograph demonstrate the Rule of thirds? Why or why not?
This photo uses rule of thirds, you can see that by looking at the location of the ball it is crossing over the left intersecting point, if you can see the baseball player in the background, he is around another intersecting point on the right side of the photo.

1. Explain what Aperture this photographer may have used What elements of this photograph tell you this? The photographer most likely used a narrow aperture to capture this photo, this photo has a very deep depth of field.

2. Explain what shutter speed this photographer may have used. How can you tell?
The photographer used a fast shutter, you can tell by the motion of the ooze that is coming out of the fire plane and smoke, all the motion is stopped.

3. Describe how the lighting in this picture contributes to the overall tone or mood of the photograph? What would this photograph be like if it were shot under bad lighting conditions?
The lighting had helped this photo with all the dimensions in the shot, around the clouds of smoke and fire debris the light gives it a glowing out line that brings out the texture in the clouds.

4. Does this photograph demonstrate the Rule of thirds? Why or why not?
This photo demonstrates the rule of thirds, by balancing out the subject matter across the photo and not having it clumped together.

final exam

"???"

1. 
   

• leading line

"XSI display top"

1. 
   

• TV settings-allow you to adjust your shutter speeds, from fast to slow speeds.

• AV settings-allow you to adjust your aperture settings from wide to narrow aperture ring.

2.

• The Canon XSI is a SLR, which allows you to change lenses and flashes.
  

"XSI display"

1. 
   

• 1/4000 represents the the shutter speed, which the shutter will open and close.

2.

• f5.6 represents the aperture setting, which controls how much light is allowed into the camera.

3.

• The button shown in 3 is the white balance, and it controls what type of lighting your in whether it is sunny or your inside a florescent lit room.
  

"rule of thirds"
1.
2. Rule of thirds is a tool to help map out a photo, and have a placement with your subjects that will help balance out the photo.


"shutter speed"

1. In photo 1 of the surfer, the photographer most likely used a fast shutter speed to stop the motion and catch the surfers air. In most action shots you would want to use a faster speed for your shutter because it is the best way to catch the shot with out motion blur.
2. In photo 2 of the nighttime traffic, the photographer most likely used a slow shutter speed to allow the camera to pick up the motion of the cars lights. we used a similar setting when we did our light painting project.
   

"aperture"

1. The photo with the little girl and her feet on the table was taken with a wide aperture. I noticed because the shallow depth of field, her feet are in focus while everything else in the photo is blurred out. The photos main focus is on her feet and the blur allows the viewer to notice it right as they look at the photo. This photo was most likely shot with an aperture around f3.5!

2. The photo with the puppy and the rock wall behind,was taken with a more narrow aperture. I noticed because the deep depth of field, the foreground and background are in focus. The photo has a really blue sky that brings the dog to the eye. This photo was most likely taken with an aperture around f22.

3. If i were trying to shoot 3-5 people and the lighting was good, and they all needed to be in focus i would use a aperture that is close to f22 to let less light into the camera which helps increase the depth of field.

4. The depth of field, is the range of focus in a photo. If your were to take a picture using a wide aperture you usually will have a shallow depth of field. Yet if you take a photo using a narrow the depth of field will be deeper, And you will be able to see all of your subjects in the photo.
