Task 3 Aperture
Produce pairs of pictures that show the depth of field with one at the smallest aperture and one at the largest aperture.
Aperture is how much light enters your camera.
F stop 1.8 shutter speed 1/1000 and ISO 100
F stop 22, shutter speed 1/8 and ISO 100
F stop 1.8 shutter speed 1/1000 and ISO 100
F stop 16, shutter speed 1/13 and ISO 100
F stop 1.8 shutter speed 1/320 and ISO 100
F stop 18, shutter speed 1/80 and ISO 2500
F stop 1.8 shutter speed 1/400 and ISO 100
F stop 20, Shutter speed 1/60 and ISO 3200
1.1,2.1,2.2 This task was looking at Aperture. Aperture is how much light enters your camera. On a small F stop number, more light will enter, as the hole the light comes through is wider. At a high F stop number less light will enter, as the hole the light comes through is narrower. Using AV priority at a wide aperture, more light will enter so my camera will automatically use a faster shutter speed to compensate a bit less light coming in. When I use a narrower aperture, a slow shutter speed will be used to compensate a bit more light coming in. With a wide aperture I will see a shallow depth of field, less in focus in the background. And with a narrow aperture I will see a deeper depth of field and more in focus. I will set my ISO low at 100 as will be photographing outside in the sunshine, and inside my kitchen when using AV priority at F stop 20, the ISO should automatically increase high to make the image brighter as less light will be coming in. I will use my Cannon SLR as it goes to a lower F Stop number (1.8) compared to my Fuji camera.
3.1,3.2 Looking at the pair of pictures, I generally prefer the one with the wider aperture, as the focus is then on the person with a nice bokeh in the background. The one of Charlie on the tree trunk is a prime example of how a wider aperture works better here, as his little face and main point of focus is the one that is in focus. With a narrow aperture, the subject person is less in focus, however the background of trees is much more in detail. I tend to use a wider aperture on a lot of my pictures as I tend to focus on portrait and I like the bokeh effect. When taking a landscape picture however I would need a narrower aperture to get everything in focus so I could see all the detail.
4.1I used a camera strap to prevent any damage. When in Richmond park I took care with where I was stepping near all the tree trunks and dips in the way and also made sure the people I was photographing were safe.
