Camera/Lens Technique

Shutter Speed



We were asked to use a slow shutter speed so capture our image. I have taken am image of the snow fallen. I chose this image because I thought it was like an abstract Image.





















(Settings - F/4.5, 1/400, ISO 400, Manual White Balance)



Wide and Telephoto Lenses



This technique is to take am image of the same object but from two different forcal Lenses. In this case I took an image of a farm house in the middle of a field.





(Settings - F/8, 1/250, ISO 400, Auto White Balance)


Depth of Field



A depth of field is the portion of scene that appears sharp in the image. The depth of field depends on the type of camera, aperture and focal type. The depth of field doesn't just change but changes gradually.

Here is my image showing a shallow depth of field showing it before and after editing:


Drop Focus
Drop focus is a narrow band of focus across the image, it also has a shallow depth of field.

(Settings - 1/100, F11, ISO400)

These are the setting for my final image:
