Object Frozen In Time




For both of these photos I had a very high shutter speed set to have no motion blur on the birds. The first image of the bird with the bag may make the viewer feel that the bird feels caught in the act because it is staring at the camera. The second one of the bird with its wings up may make the viewer feel a sense of timelessness or  maybe endless or limited freedom.


Object In Motion


For these I lowered the shutter speed to get a good blur on the subjects. The first one of the ball may give the viewer a sense of endlessness or feeling free spirited. The image of Winkler leaping may make the viewer feel anxious or curious.


Tracking Motion


To make the subjects be in focus while having their backgrounds blurry I shot them with a fast shutter speed and set the focus at the depth of the trucks. Both images may give the viewer a sense of urgency.


Zoom Blur


To create the the zoom blur effect I had the shutter set to an average speed and cranked the zoom as I took continuous shots. This image could give the viewer a sense that the shopping cart is important or that they are moving toward it.

Principles of Art Design

1. The hand being closer to the camera made it look out of proportion to his body.
2. This line shows a balance in the image of half land and half water.
3. These trees grew in a line to about the same size showing harmony.
4. The ripples in the water radiating outward show the rhythm of the water.
5. The bird flying in the air with blur on its wing tips shows movement.
6. The red flower is emphasized by its surrounding of green.
7. The manmade post contrasts the natural surrounding.
8. There is a variety of plants growing out of this wheel-barrow. 
9. This shows the unity in colors of the plants and fire hydrant.

Elements of Art Design

1. The support beams of this train trestle show the element of lines. 
2. This photo's subject shows the definitive shape of a car's rear. 
3. The silhouettes in front of this sunset show the form of monocots. 
4. This open road shows the use of empty space.
5. The trimmed limbs and fur of this plant shows texture.
6. This sign has a wide range of colors on it contrasting the more bland background.
7. The shadows and range of grays show the different values of light.

Lecture On Exposure

Lecture: Exposure Basics

Exposure triangle: shutter speed. aperture, ISO speed

Aperture: f/stop 

• smaller=crisper image
• larger=brighter, softer background
• changes depth of field
• narrow settings have higher numbers than wide settings 
• more blades the better
• larger aperture reduces the area of sharp focus, smaller aperture expands the area of sharp focus

Shutter Speed: motion blur, opens and closes to let light in

• bulb mode: allows you to leave shutter open as long as you need
• fast: 1/1000 sec, slow: 1/10 sec
• sports mode: freeze the action of fast moving objects with continuous shooting and fast shutter speed

ISO Speed: image noise, sensitivity of camera sensor

• higher=more noise
• higher=brighter, lower=darker
• each change in ISO (100 to 200, 400 to 500, etc.) equals one full stop
• 
  

White balance: calibrates the camera to the lighting

Panning: standing in one position and following moving target
