Depth of Field-

Deep Depth of Field- To capture these images I used ISO 400 as the natural sunlight was enough to make the picture well exposed when the light hits the sensor. I used the manual mode to alter the exposure triangle components, this including the shutter speed and aperture. The shutter speed was fast as there is no motion or blurred effect in any of the photographs.

Shallow Depth of Field-

The ‘Shutter Speed’ is the length of time the camera shutter is open for, exposing light into the camera sensor. When a camera fires, the shutter opens and exposes light to the camera sensor to the light that has passed through the lens. After the sponsor is done collecting the light, the shutter closes immediately stopping anymore light from hitting the sensor. The Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second. By using long shutter speed, it results in the camera exposing the sensor for a long significant amount of time. This can sometimes result in ‘motion blur’ which is when something is in motion and creates a blurred effect. However, slow shutter speed does the opposite and acts as a freeze motion.

The shutter speed can also be in relation to the exposure of an image. Long shutter speed creates more brightness within the photograph whereas short shutter speed allows less light to hit the sensor of the camera causing a more darker approach to the image. The ‘shutter speed priority’ and ‘manual’ buttons on a camera allow an individual to personally set the rate of the shutter speed for a photograph.

Examples of long shutter speed- Photographs of animals in motion or a river. The longer the shutter is open for, the more light enabled to pick up specific details of an image.

Short shutter speed- Photographs of landscapes, the whole image would be more likely in focus.

Slow Shutter Speed-

Fast Shutter Speed-

These are the most successful images that I had taken which I then edited in Photoshop. I adjusted the ‘Levels’ on all 3 images  and changed the brightness and contrast to make the images look more clear and sharp.

Aperture Priority-

The Aperture of a camera is how wide the shutter opens exposing light into the sensor, the Shutter speed is the time in seconds open for. The ISO of a camera is in relation to the light sensitivity. The Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO are all known together as the ‘Exposure Triangle’.
