Lab 2: Aperture

Still Life

Shutter: 1/60

Aperture: f/2.0

ISO: 200

In this first picture, we can see that the books are not completely sharp, just parts of them. The titles are not entirely in focus, so it gives less informations. With the books not completely in focus, the shallow depth of field gives more importance to certain words of the titles of the books. 

Shutter: 1/15

Aperture: f/5.6

ISO: 400

In this second picture, there is more depth of field than in the first one, but it's still not entirely sharp. The background is still a little bit blurry. We can see more of the titles of the books, so unlike the first photo, the focus is more on the books themselves rather than just parts of them.   

Shutter: 1/4

Aperture: f/22

ISO: 1600

In this last picture, the depth of filed is definitely larger than the first two. The background is sharper and the books are completely in focus. The feeling, I would say is the same as the second picture. The focus is still on the books.

Portrait

Shutter: 1/160

Aperture: f/1.8

ISO: 500 

In this first portrait, with the shallow depth of field, he focus is entirely on her. It also makes the background less busy than it is. 

Shutter: 1/30

Aperture: f/13

ISO: 4000

In this second portrait, the background is definitely sharper than in the first picture. This time, the focus is not really only on her anymore, the background comes part of the "what to look at" aspect too. Also, with a deeper depth of field, the picture is busier than the first portrait.

Lab 1: Shutter

1. Busy Area

Aperture: f/16

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 6.0 sec

Shoot Hands

Shutter Speed: 1/100 sec.

How I steadied yourself: I put my elbows on a surface (like a handrail).

Motion Frozen/Blurred

Aperture: f/1.8

ISO: 1250

Shutter Speed: 1/1000

-----

I had to to increase the shutter speed to freeze the motion, but since the lighting situation was not really bright enough, so that the exposure was good enough, I had to increase also the ISO and give a larger aperture opening. 

Aperture: f/13

ISO: 500

Shutter Speed: 1/4 

----

The opposite of the freezing motion one, I had to slower the shutter speed to have a blurrier subject. By lowering the shutter speed, the exposure was too bright, so I had to lower the ISO and give a small aperture opening to make the exposure of the photo better.

Contrary to the frozen motion picture, the blurred one makes the movement feel like it was very fast (which it was). The static one gives the people who see the picture a better understanding of what she was doing, in term of movement and technique.
