Activity 6 - variety of apeture settings

Activity 5 - Use a camera and tripod and produce a series of identical images that use a variety of apeture setting.


This photograph was on an appeture speed of F4, because I was outside it looks really bright and colourful. I wouldn't  do this appeture speed if  I was outside because it's too bright. 

This photograph was on a appeture speed of F5.6,  what this does is it tells the camera, to increase the amount of light that comes through the camera. This depends on if your outside or if your in a certain area. Because if you were in a dark area you would put it on a lower shutter speed like F5.6 or F4 because they let more light in.  

 This photograph was on a appeture speed of a F6.3, as you can see it hasn't let as much light in as the photograph above. I think this is the right of appeture though for the place I were at because it's got the detail and the right amount of lighting.



F14 was the appeture that I used in this photograph, There isn't much light going into this photograph, but I think it's because the weather wasn't the best outside, because it started to rain, but I think if it were sunny then it would of been a lot better.


F20 was the appeture that I used on this photograph, As you can see you can barley see anything in this photograph, because of the amount of light used in this photo.

Activity 4 - Lines

Activity 4- produce a variety of shots that utilise different types of lines for composition.

This photo is of a train ride, I really liked the line because it isn't straight. This image I had to get on the ground so it looked like I was a the same height as the road. I really like this image because you can see the distinctive line, with pattern on each side.

I also liked this photograph because of the way the angle of the photograph has gone, it looks like I'm looking down. With this photograph I wanted the sharpness of the screw which looks like a line, I really like how the angle reflects the light. I used a slow shutter speed but a high appetiser to get the contract of the light f the image.
I love this image of a grid, it's a day to day thing that people see, but I think the angles says it all, it makes it look really sureal, The lines in this photograph are on the grid. But because of the angle they are on a slant. For this image I used a normal shutter speed because it's in natural lighting, but I used a F4 on the appetiser.
This image is of a gate on the side of a funfair ride. I really like how the lighting has caught this, and the sharpness of the poles, and how blur the background is. With this image I had a bit of trouble because I was trying to work how the shutter speed and the appetiser, so it look me a couple of goes before I got the right image.

Activity 2 - Rules of thirds

Rules of third

Activity 2 
produce a variety of 10 photographs that utilise the rule of thirds in there composition.

This is a picture of a railing which I took on the way up to Hyde. I haven't done much to the picture to make it level with the grid. I rotated the image to make the top of the rails level with line between the first third and the second third. What I would do to make it more perfect is the angle of the picture as you can see the first column of the picture is off the image a little, also I could of put it a little higher so it level with the line.


With this image, I tried putting the bike in the third column, how I did this was I scaled the image so that the bike lined up, I also did it so that the pedal lined up with the first third. What I could of done differently is I could of made the bike larger so that it went into the second third. What I also tried to do was level the pavement up the second and third.






 This image I tried to caputure what it looks like from a cans prospective. To get it to fit the third column I had to enlarge the image by scaling it and holding the shift key. I also lined the can up so that the edge of the can was on the first line of the third.  I also lined the mug on the can to fit with the second line as well. I really like this picture because it different.
This is an image of a ash tray at someones house, I thought it was a really nice and unique photograph because how really simple it looks. What I did to this picture to get it in the rules of third was I enlarged the image, and made the tip of the ashtray square box on the level of the line on the first rule. I also levelled out the key hole so that it fitted with in the top right hand corner of the photograph. I also did a bit or colour correct on the image to make it less dirty.


         
With this photograph I put it into photoshop and tried to make the image to look like it in in the line of thirds. I don't think this is a very good example of a line of thirds because the only thing that is level with it,  is the basket, which is in the centre of the 2 thirds.








I really like this image, I like how the line of the bin lines up to the bottom of the 3rd line. This image is really simple but it looks really good i didn't have to do much on this image all I did was line the image up and zoomed in a little bit.








 This image was took on the way up to Hyde it was near a field, I wasn't suppose to take this picture but I really liked how simple it looked. What I did with this image was I levelled it out, what I forgot to do with this image was put it in-front of the other line because you can't see the 2nd and 3rd third, that much because of the lighting in the background. I think what I should of done with this image if I did again was line it up with the barbed wire.  Which will then line up with  the line of the field.












I really like this image of a bin, even though it's unusual, I tried lining the can opener to centre of can.  I didn't have to do much of movement on photoshop on this image, I just had to alternate the angle of photograph, and line it up.









 This image is really simple I like how white the image is. What I did was line it up with the first line, which was the centre of the the light. I really like how its on the right hand side of the photograph instead of being in the middle.
