DOF Portrait


Near/Far Focus


Motion

To make photos appear frozen in time I decreased the shutter speed.

To create motion blur in photos I increased the shutter speed.

For tracking motion shots I widened the aperture and decreased the shutter speed, then set ISO to auto

For zoom blur all I had to do was use normal settings and zoom while I took the photo

Photo collage

1. Harmony: The pale spider on the yellow flower shows harmony of nature
2. Variety: There is a variety of sports equipment and colors in this truck bed
3. Emphasis: The brighter paint on the one pillar emphasizes it
4. Unity: The only thing you can see in this picture are cherry blossom flowers, and since its all nature its unity
5. Contrast: The red ladybug contrasts the rest of the green in the picture since they're opposite colors
6. Movement: You can tell Ryan was moving when the picture was taken because he is in the air
7. Rhythm: I just think they look like they're dancing so I called this one rhythm
8. Proportion: Taking the photo from underneath makes the bush look like a palm tree
9. Balance: The gem is balanced and the string does a good job of making the photo into 2 sides
1. Form: The empty space under this staircase creates a very specific arc shape
2. Line: The lines on the palettes point to the stairs whose lines guide to the side
3. Texture: You can easily tell how rough the tree is and the way it wraps around the smooth poles helps to see that texture
4. Value: This leaf shows value because half of it is dark and half is light but its a direct divide, not gradual.
5. Shape: The shape of the motorcycle is very obvious and even though you can't see the whole thing in this picture the angle helps you imagine it
6. Color: This picture not only displays two opposite colors, yellow and purple, in a very vibrant environment, but also the rest of the image is filled with green so there is color in the whole image.
7. Space: I really like how the space in the upper right makes the bird stand out more, especially because the bird is facing that way

Exposure

Exposure triangle:
Aperture: depth of field
Shutter speed: motion blur
ISO speed: image noise
The shutter speed works like eyelids, it can open and close and be fast or slow
Fast shutter speeds are better for lots of motion
Sports mode has a fast shutter speed and also allows continuous shooting
Panning is when you stand in one place and follow a moving subject to have a blurry background
Large apertures have a very thin depth of field and a smaller aperture has an expanded depth of field
A camera has an iris that decides the amount of light being exposed to the image
Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO all effect each other
Each change in ISO is equal to one full stop
Try to avoid changing the ISO
