Unit 1: Learning the Camera Stephanie Kiback Due: 9/19/11 Frozen, Blurred, and Aperture Shots

First Example of Frozen Motion I am in focus Rest of picture in layout is blurry Shallow depth of field Aperture=3.5 (there was light coming through, but since under a shadow of a tree, had to a little higher than 2.8) Lenses had to be set correctly in order for the face to be in focus

Second Example of Frozen Motion Most of the picture is in focus Used aperture f/18 (less light was in area picture was taken) Shutter speed was faster (around 1/125) because there was no movement to blur Moved closer to object of fire alarm to get a reflection of detail on the plastic

Third Example of Frozen Motion Focused on left side of tree branch Left side contained yellow/orange/fall leaves More color tone was coming to leaves on the left side The side of school was set in a blurred tone Shutter speed about 1/125 because nothing really moving Very little wind Aperture=f/8 Substantial amount of light from tree branch and on

First Example of Blurred Motion Bus was driving towards left of picture The leaves on tree above the bus are following the direction bus is moving Wind from bus are causing them to move Shutter speed=1/250 Had to use faster shutter speed to make it not be so blurred Aperture=f/4 Since bus was farther away had to use slight bigger aperture to get detail of “CT Transit”

Second Example of Blurred Motion Camera wouldn’t let shutter speed to slow Tell kicking because of foot begin to be blurred out Body movement of being backwards shows kick Shutter speed=1/250 (as low as it would go) Aperture=f/4 (lots of light)

Third Example of Blurred Motion Difficulties with camera AGAIN! (my camera days were just not so successful…) Could tell there was movement from wind strip in leg of black pants Near ankle and blurred sneakers created by the reflection The idea and lanyard give away rotating from one side to the other Shutter speed=1/250 (as low as it would go) Aperture=f/4 (lots of light)

Aperture Exercise Aperture=f/1.8 Aperture=f/8 Aperture=f/22

Aperture Paragraph For this exercise, I shot Michael Pitruzzello. In picture number “1”, I fixed the aperture to be f/1.8 so my beautiful crutch would be the center of the picture. The rest of the background is blurred out of focus. In picture number “2”, I fixed the aperture to be f/8 so that Michael would more in focus, but whatever was beyond him would still blur out. Finally, picture number “3”, I used an aperture of f/22. This allowed for my crutch, Michael, and everything beyond him like the auditorium door to be in focus. Since the first picture was in a small or shallow depth of field, it only focused on the subject closest to it. The second picture was in between a shallow depth of field and a large depth of field. Lastly, the third picture was a large depth of field.
