ps: i hope i have more time next week to process more photos. been taking so many photos recently that it's overflowing. hah.

Assignment 2A: Aperture | Shutter | ISO

this week's assignment requires us to take photos in different apertures, shutter speeds and ISO sensitivities. the subjects that i've chosen are all everyday objects so that we can all relate to it easily.

below are the photos i've contributed to the group:

Aperture:

100mm Macro, f/2.8


100mm Macro, f/11

as seen in the 2 pictures, f/2.8 had the focus mainly on one line and everything else had a nice bokeh (blur) to it. whereas in the second picture, the focus was on the whole page and the cardholder that was placed there.

Shutter Speed:

70-200mm, 1/3200


70-200mm, 1/25

at shutter speed 1/3200, the flow of the water was frozen in its tracks and you can actually see the shape of the stream of water. in the second picture, shot at 1/25, the stream of water seems silky although it is actually a motion blur due to the slow shutter speed. this is one of the ways that slow shutter speeds can be used to achieve effects.

ISO:

50mm, ISO 100


50mm, ISO 1600

this 2 photos were shot in a relatively dark room as can be seen in the first picture, which was shot in ISO 100. after adjusting the ISO to 1600, the picture got evidently brighter and more visible. the only drawback of adjusting the ISO is that the picture will seem grainy upon closer inspection.

that's my contribution for this week's assignment.
