Frozen, Blurred, and Aperture Shots Frozen, Blurred, and Aperture Shots

First Example of Frozen Motion

I am in focus Rest of picture in

layout is blurry Shallow depth of field Aperture=3.5 (there

was light coming through, but since under a shadow of a tree, had to a little higher than 2.8)

Lenses had to be set correctly in order for the face to be in focus

Second Example of Frozen Motion Most of the picture is

in focus Used aperture f/18

(less light was in area picture was taken)

Shutter speed was faster (around 1/125) because there was no movement to blur

Moved closer to object of fire alarm to get a reflection of detail on the plastic

Third Example of Frozen Motion Focused on left side of tree

branch Left side contained

yellow/orange/fall leaves More color tone was

coming to leaves on the left side

The side of school was set in a blurred tone

Shutter speed about 1/125 because nothing really moving

Very little wind Aperture=f/8 Substantial amount of light

from tree branch and on

First Example of Blurred MotionBus was driving towards left of picture The leaves on tree above the bus are following the direction bus is movingWind from bus are causing them to moveShutter speed=1/250Had to use faster shutter speed to make it not be so blurred Aperture=f/4Since bus was farther away had to use slight bigger aperture to get detail of “CT Transit”

Second Example of Blurred MotionCamera wouldn’t let shutter speed to slowTell kicking because of foot begin to be blurred outBody movement of being backwards shows kickShutter speed=1/250 (as low as it would go)Aperture=f/4 (lots of light)

Third Example of Blurred MotionDifficulties with camera AGAIN! (my camera days were just not so successful…)Could tell there was movement from wind strip in leg of black pantsNear ankle and blurred sneakers created by the reflection The idea and lanyard give away rotating from one side to the other Shutter speed=1/250 (as low as it would go)Aperture=f/4 (lots of light)

Aperture Exercise Aperture Exercise

Aperture=f/1.8Aperture=f/1.8

Aperture=f/8Aperture=f/8

Aperture=f/22Aperture=f/22

Aperture Paragraph Aperture Paragraph For this exercise, I shot Michael Pitruzzello. In For this exercise, I shot Michael Pitruzzello. In picture number “1”, I fixed the aperture to be picture number “1”, I fixed the aperture to be

f/1.8 so my beautiful crutch would be the center f/1.8 so my beautiful crutch would be the center of the picture. The rest of the background is of the picture. The rest of the background is blurred out of focus. In picture number “2”, I blurred out of focus. In picture number “2”, I fixed the aperture to be f/8 so that Michael fixed the aperture to be f/8 so that Michael

would more in focus, but whatever was beyond would more in focus, but whatever was beyond him would still blur out. Finally, picture number him would still blur out. Finally, picture number “3”, I used an aperture of f/22. This allowed for “3”, I used an aperture of f/22. This allowed for my crutch, Michael, and everything beyond him my crutch, Michael, and everything beyond him like the auditorium door to be in focus. Since the like the auditorium door to be in focus. Since the

first picture was in a small or shallow depth of first picture was in a small or shallow depth of field, it only focused on the subject closest to it. field, it only focused on the subject closest to it.

The second picture was in between a shallow The second picture was in between a shallow depth of field and a large depth of field. Lastly, depth of field and a large depth of field. Lastly,

the third picture was a large depth of field. the third picture was a large depth of field.
