Photography Photo Shoot (Location)

This is an image that i have edited on Photoshop by changing the  colours by changing the colours on the image.

Here I have changed the image to grey scale and then rubbed out part of the image after copying the image so I can make it look like a silhouette.

Here I have added in two images together to show the way between Good and Bad. The copyright is to show the example that the images can not be copied or taken from to do someone elses work and pass it off as theirs. 

Colour or Monochrome

 I prefer this in Monochrome because of how the baby's face stands out more than it does in colour. 

I prefer this in colour because it looks more appetizing than it does in Mono and the you can see all the colours contrasting with each other. 

I prefer this in colour because you can see the texture of the strawberry more rather than you can in the Monochrome. 

Here I prefer the Monochrome because then you can imagine the colours yourself and it stands out more than the colour. 

Here I prefer the colour because of how it sets the scene and makes it look like it's a quiet place to be. 

I prefer the colour because you can see what kind of fish it is and of how the colour is vivid. I like this because of the clear view it gives you in your mind. 

Here I like the colour picture because you can see how bright the leaves are and can tell that the plant belongs in a rain forest. 

Artists who have done Self portraits

Cindy Sherman

This is a portrait photograph of Cindy Sherman. She took it for her movie called untitled film and was took in 1977. This is a wide shot and you can tell this because of how the background is there and is clear.

Apertures

What is Apertures?
Aperture is referred to the lens in the opening of the the photographic lens. The Apertures are also known as the Depth of Field. Which allows more or less light to hit the camera.

How and when is it useful
The smaller the f-stop the wider your aperture will be, and therefore let in more light. The bigger the f-stop the smaller your aperture will be.

Drawbacks
Can be a drawback for landscape photographers when they need to focus on an entire view rather than just one thing.

This shows us that the lower the aperture the blurrier the background and the more aperture you get you can get a clearer background rather than it being blurry.

This shows us that the aperture of f/2.8 only shows us the front of the picture while the aperture of f/16 gives us a clearer view of the whole picture which includes the background rather than just the front of the picture.

Shutter Speeds

What is a Shutter Speed?

A shutter speed is how fast a picture can be taken this gives a dramatic effect of either freezing action or blurring motion. Shutter Speeds are also known as exposure time.

Drawbacks

Some lenses can get softer by using high shutter speeds

How and when they are used

So if a shutter speed has been set up to fast then they can capture action completely. If the shutter speed is low then they can blur an image. 

 This diagram shows us the way that shutter speeds work. So if a shutter speed is 1/1000, 1/500 or 1/250 these give us a fast shutter so that the picture freezes and if the shutter speed is 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/2 then this gives us a blurred effect and the movement in the picture is either just finishing or the shutter speed is too slow. 

This shows us that the shutter speed of 1/120 gives us the picture as it has broken down and is a fast shutter speed and the shutter speed of 4/1 is a slow shutter speed and gives us a blurred view of the lights. 

ISO

What is ISO?
ISO is the speed and sensitivity that can be set on a camera for light. Using ISO we can use this in low light. The drawbacks for using ISO is that you can get more grains in the picture and that can make it blurry by using the more of ISO. Each ISO speed doubles in sensitivity so when you have an ISO of 100 and you place the ISO speed then to 200 you have doubled the sensitivity of both.

This shows us that the less the ISO is the less sensitive to the light it is and will capture less light and less noise or grain. It also shows us the more the ISO the more sensitive to the light, will capture more light and will have more grain and nose which will make the image look more blurry rather than just a straight clear picture.

This shows us that the ISO of 100 is clearer than the ISO of 3200. The ISO of 3200 has a more of a grain effect rather than just a clearer picture.

How and when will it be useful?

Using a high ISO will be useful when you want to get a picture that is moving and therefore the picture will be taken by a quick shutter speed. When a low ISO will be used to take a still image of something that isn't moving.
