Motion and Distance

This photo was taken with a shutter speed of 1/1000. Here I tried to capture the flag blowing in the wind. It was a little dark outside but the photo still came out good.

Shutter Speed Priority

This photo was the product of a lot of experimentations. Trying different movements, shutter speeds, and speeds of subject movement, this photo came out the best. This photo was taken with a shutter speed of 8 seconds.

Aperture Priority

This photo was taken with an f-stop 29.0, so there was a small aperture. Oddly the background is more out of focus and the foreground is in great focus. A small aperture usually puts the background in good focus. Despite the unusual out turn, this photo came out very successful.

Fiddling With the F-stop

This photo was taken with an f-stop of 5.0. Since the f-stop is small the aperture, and is large allowing more light to travel into the lens. Because the opening into the lens is larger there is a shorter depth of field.

This photo was taken with an f-stop of 25.0 and has a rather small aperture. This allows less light in the lens and a longer depth of field.
This photo was taken with an f-stop of 13.0 and has a medium sized aperture. There is not as much light in the lens as in the last photo, and the depth of field is shorter.

Let it Snow


This photo was taken to capture the winter essence of the scenery. I am very pleased with this photo because it shows leading lines and I captured the snow as it was falling. This photo really has a "wintery" essence. This photo was taken in auto with an ISO of 1600, which is unusually high, an f- stop of 6.3, and a shutter speed of 1/640.

Emotion

I took this photo to capture emotion. The emotion I attempted to capture depicted a sort of upset and pondering expression. I think I accomplished this photo quite well. This photo was taken in auto, with an f-stop 5.6, and the shutter speed was 1/60.

Leading Lines

 In order to capture leading lines in this photo, I used the lines from the pattern of the grid at an angle leading to the subjects hand. This photo was taken in the auto mode, with an f-stop of 5.6 and the shutter speed was 1/10.
