Shutter Speed and Aperture

Shutter Speed and Aperture.

Shutter Speed: 
Shutter speed is the amount of time in which the shutter is open for. When the shutter speed is fast (i.e. 1/1000) the object in the photograph is completely in focus, this would be appropriate for sports shots or even wildlife such as birds flying as it will freeze the moving object. When the shutter speed is slow (i.e. 1/3) the moving image will be blurred as the shutter was open for a longer period of time. 

Below are some examples of changing the shutter speed that worked well: 







Here are some shutter speed images that didn't turn out as expected:







 Aperture:
Aperture is a hole or an opening in which light from the lens travels through. By using the aperture, we can alter the depth of field. This is the area of an image which is in focus. When the aperture is lower (i.e. f/2.8) (the hole that the light travels through is smaller) the image will be in focus on the point that the lens is focused on but the background and or foreground of the photo will be blurry. When the aperture is raised (i.e. f/22) (the hole size increases) the entire image will be in focus. 

Below are some examples of  the change in aperture and how it affects the depth of field:





Personally, I think that my shutter speed and aperture photos turned out quite well. The moving objects in the shutter speed photos are frozen and it is easy to see when an object was moving. My favourite shutter speed photo is of Chloe throwing the leaves. The aperture photos also worked well, the photos of the fence are the most effective as we can see a comparison, my favourite aperture photo is of the books.

Sequence of Decay GIF

Sequence of Decay GIF To make this GIF I froze rose petals in water, put the ice block onto the plate and used my camera to take the images. Then I took photos of the ice melting every 5 seconds and then I uploaded my images into photoshop and I made them into a GIF. If I were to do this experiment again I would leave the rose petals and water in the freezer for longer just so I did not have the visible water trapped in the ice.

Patterns, Printing & Shadows // Carousel Week 4

CAROUSEL WEEK 4. Patterns & Printing. On Tuesday 3rd October, we were working in the art rooms. When we sat down in the room, the teacher explained that we would be using different types of media and creating patterns on white and black paper. We were told different emotions, shapes, songs and we had to make a series of patterns on the paper the related to how the emotion & song made us feel. We used biros, pencils, graphite pencils, chalk and charcoal. The first emotion was anger, using the graphite pencil, the marks made were very thick and very dark and very heavy. The next emotion was joy using a pencil, these marks were quite soft and light, there was a  massive comparison between the anger and joy markings. We carried on with this until we had all of our markings. Once we had done this, we had an A3 sheet of paper and we split it into sections and copied our markings into each section. Examples of patterns.  Printing. After our break, we went into t...

Printing In The Darkroom

Printing In The Darkroom On Tuesday the 17th October, I went into the darkroom and I began to print my negatives into larger images. First of all, we had to be told how to print our images, so that we knew what to do. We first had to make sure that the board that the light projected onto was set up correctly. We then had to insert our negatives into the enlarger, we then had to turn the light on and turn the brightness up and focus the image using the focus finder, to do this we had to put the focus finder onto the image and if the image looked grainy, it means that it is in focus. We could then start testing the prints. We had to cut a sheet of our photographic paper in half (lengthways) and then use these two strips of paper as test strips. We put a test strip into the board and then turn the light on and move a piece of cardboard across the paper every 10 seconds. Once we had exposed the entire strip to light, we had to put it into the developer machine, wait for it to come ou...
