P-2 Aperture & Shutter – In the Beginning

P-2 Aperture & Shutter Speed

F-stop 5.0 Shutter 1/80 ISO 1600

F-stop 1.8 Shutter 1/800 ISO 400

F-stop 1.8 Shutter 1/3200 ISO 1600

F-stop 9.0 Shutter 1/100 ISO 1600

F-stop 4.0 Shutter 1/500 ISO 1600

F-stop 1.8 Shutter 1/1250 ISO 800

While doing this assignment, I discovered some very interesting things. to get the proper effect of motion blur along with the depth of field, I had to mess with the ISO a lot to get the brightness at the right level while still getting the proper image results I wanted. You can really tell from the third photo of the waves and rocks that the depth of field is lower because in the first one, the rocks are fully in focus, but by the second and third photos the rocks slowly get out of focus because of the depth of field. I wish the photos of the swing had a little more motion blur but I think they came out decently.

In this assignment I noticed that as the f top changed the depth of field changed with it but also changing the f stop caused you to change the shutter speed to get good exposure so that caused moving objects to become blurry.

Bubbles and Fountains:

by jeanne s.

This is my shot wherein I attempted to freeze the motion of the bubbles. That kind of happened. Settings: f/9 SS 60 ISO 25600.

This is my attempt to blur the bubbles. Strangely, my best shot occurred at the same settings as my first photo. So that’s a bummer. Settings: f/9 SS 60 ISO 25600.

This was my attempt to pan. I moved the camera in the direction of the bubbles. I managed to freeze just two of the bubbles and blur the rest of the image. Settings: f/3.6 SS 30 ISO 2000.

Haller Fountain:

In this photo I attempted to freeze the water coming out of the baby’s shell. I got close. My settings were: f/3.6 SS500 ISO 800.

In this photo, I slowed my shutter speed, which caused the water to blur. My settings were: f/5.6 SS 15 ISO 80.

This is my attempt at a pan. I tried to freeze the water droplets by moving my camera downward with them. It almost worked. My settings: f/5.6 SS 60 ISO 1250.

I still have a ways to go with this assignment. I feel like I’m just now beginning to get the hang of the exposure triangle. It’s been challenging!

P-2 Aperture and Shutter Speed studies

For this study, I explored how aperture and shutter speed affect both depth of field and the appearance of motion. I photographed two primary motion subjects during blue hour in Seattle while also incorporating secondary motion into the background of each series. The fountain series allowed me to experiment with the movement of both flowing water and the Seattle Great Wheel, while the traffic series combined moving vehicles with the rotating wheel in the distance. Through this assignment, I found that the most visually interesting results often came from balancing partial motion blur with recognizable detail rather than fully freezing or fully blurring the subject. Working during sunset and blue hour also became part of the study itself, requiring constant adjustments as the city transitioned from natural light into artificial light.

P-2 Aperture and Shutter Speed studies

On this assignment I took 2 groups of photos that are moving subjects. I played with adjusting my aperture and shutter speeds to give different results like motion blur, motion freezing, and DOF with motion captured below.
