Understanding Shutter Speeds

For this photograph i used f/11.0 with the iso at 1600. I also took the picture at 1/60th of a second in order to make the photograph blurry. The reason why the photograph came out blurry is because i used a slow shutter speed so more motion is aloud in the picture. 

For this photograph i used f/4.5 with the iso at 1600. I also took the picture at 1/500th of a second in order to make the picture clear while moving. The picture came out really clear and frozen. The reason for that is because i used a high shutter speed so less motion can be put into the picture making it clear. 

Di) Shutter speed is the time for which a shutter is open at a given setting, slow shutter speed means blurry subject and high shutter speed means frozen/clear subject.

Dii) The way Shutter speed works technically in camera is the higher shutter speed, the less blurry the picture is, if you have a high shutter speed you have to have a low f/stop and have a high iso. If you want to have a blurry photo you need a high f//stop with the shutter speed being lower than 1/60th of a second and the iso can be the same.

Understanding Iso

F/3.5 

Shutter speed 0.6"

Iso 100

This picture came out more grainy compared to the highest of 3200.

F/3.5

Shutter Speed 1/25"

Iso 3200

This picture came out more speckled compared to iso 100.

Di) ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera.

Dii) Works technically by allowing the light being more or less sensitive to light. If you were low iso you would have a low aperture and a lower shutter speed . If you were high Iso, you would need a higher aperture and a faster shutter speed. Works visually because it picks up light easily so you would need a narrow aperture. If it doesn't pick up light easily you will need a wide aperture. 

Diii) Iso is the light sensitivity of your camera, the lower iso the less sensitive, the higher iso the more sensitive it is, so if you have a high iso, you would need a higher aperture and a faster shutter speed. If you were a low iso, you would need a lower aperture and a slow shutter speed. That how it relates to the exposure triangle.

Understanding Aperture

For this picture i used f/5.0 with 1/60 of a second also with iso 800. This picture  used the smallest f stop possible this camera can go. This picture gave me a small depth of field where the image thats being focused is really clear and in the background it is blurry, making the image being focused clear.

For this picture i used f/22.0 with 0.3 and the iso at 800. This picture used the highest f/stop my camera could use and it gave me a large depth of field, making the whole image visible in the front and back. Not like the small f/stop where the background is blurred out.

Di) Aperture is a space in which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, especially the variable opening by which light enters a camera.

Dii) It opens wide and squeezes/forces light through a narrower opening creating focus. Works visually by creating a blur, and need lens to focus on the object, when narrow, creates infinite depth of focus.

Diii) Aperture is the opening of the light goes through, shutter speed controls how long the light passes through, and the iso it is how sensitive the light opening is.

Photographic Themes

What i believe this photograph project was assigned to us is to see what we see when we take a picture of calm, angry, terrifying, etc. I believe there is no wrong answer in this project because everyone has a different view in life. Some pictures i liked the most is the 5th row first one which is a basketball and my caption for that was compassion. I have compassion for playing basketball because i practice 2 hours mostly everyday and try to improve my basketball skills so i can try to get a scholarship. Another one i mostly liked taking was 3rd row second one which is a picture of all my shoes i had. I captioned that as growth because i started a sneaker collection 2 years ago but these sneakers are rare and cost a lot of money so its hard to get more shoes because the prices for them are through the roof. The last one i liked the most is 4th row 1st picture is the Quran which is the bible in muslim. I captioned that as love because i love the Quran because I'm muslim so its like a christian liking the bible. I believe that all these pictures i took are good captions of what the project assigned.
