ASSIGNMENT 2: CREATIVE CAPTURE (PART 1)

PART 1: GET CREATIVE WITH SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE

LOCATION: All the photos were taken around UTM campus (Tasik Ilmu UTM, Masjid Sultan Ismail, Building P19)

SET 1

f/7.1 | 1/500s | 1SO 100 (Nikon D3100@55mm)

f/11 | 1/500s | 1SO 100 (Nikon D3100@55mm)

f/16 | 1/500s | 1SO 100 (Nikon D3100@55mm)

f/22 | 1/500s | 1SO 100 (Nikon D3100@55mm)

Review on Set 1: All 4 photos in this Set 1 were using Aperture Priority. From Set 1, I can see that the different depth of field in each of photo whereas starting from f/7.1 to f/22, from less depth of field to more depth of field. The f/7.1 and f/11 are categorized in less depth of field. From here, I can see that, the very right flower is in focus and the rest of the picture is blurred. However, for the f/16 and f/22, the entire flower is in focus and most of the background is in focus. The f/16 and f/22 are categorized in more depth of field. Overall, this Set 1 is where i learned to shoot photos in different aperture setting.


SET 2 

f/16 | 1/2000s | ISO 1400 (Nikon D3000@42mm)

f/16 | 1/2000s | ISO 1600 (Nikon D3000@42mm)

f/16 | 1/4000s | ISO 1600 (Nikon D3000@42mm)

f/16 | 1/50s | ISO 100 (Nikon D3000@42mm)

Review on Set 2: All 4 photos in Set 2 were using Manual Setting. Here I want to capture different exposure of this scene. Here I can see that, the 3 photos at the top looks slightly dark from each other. It looks like under exposure. However, the last photos looks like the right exposure has been taken. I think i just need to change the aperture and shutter speed setting till get the right exposure for me. And also the ISO setting also play important role for camera's sensitivity to light. I think ISO 100 for last photo is right ISO setting. 

SET 3

f/3.5 | 1/30s | ISO 200 (Canon EOS 600D@18mm)

f/5.6 | 1/30s | ISO 200 (Canon EOS 600D@18mm)

f/9 | 1/30s | ISO 200 (Canon EOS 600D@18mm)

f/11 | 1/30s | ISO 200 (Canon EOS 600D@18mm)

Review on Set 3: For Set 3, I was playing with the Aperture setting where i change only the aperture setting, and the rest like shutter speed and ISO setting i was keeping it the same. The photos that i captured was turned dark and darker. It looks like the exposure of the photos looks under exposure as the aperture getting smaller from f/3.6 to f/11. This happen because the smaller the aperture, the less light to enter the camera and hit the sensor.

Set 4

f/14 | 1/25s | ISO 800 (CanonEOS 600D@55mm)

f/6.3 | 1/100s | ISO 800 (CanonEOS 600D@55mm)

f/7.1 | 1/100s | ISO 800 (Canon EOS 600D@55mm)

f/5.6 | 1/400s | ISO 1600 (Canon EOS 600D@55mm)

Review on Set 4: In Set 4 photos, I want to see the motion of the water when adjusting the shutter speed setting. From top to bottom of the photos are different shutter speed setting from 1/25s to 1/400s. From what I can see here, 1/25s in shutter speed setting makes the water looks like blurs or shows motion. However, the 1/100s and 1/400s in shutter speed setting makes the water looks like in freezes motion.

Set 5

f/29 | 1/4s | ISO 100 (Nikon D3100@28mm)

f/29 | 1/15s | ISO 100 (Nikon D3100@28mm)

f/29 | 1/40s | ISO 100 (Nikon D3100@28mm)

f/29 | 1/1250s | ISO 100 (Nikon D3100@28mm)

Review on Set 5: For set 5, I was using different shutter speed setting. I want to see how the pictures will turn out to be. What I can see from here, the pictures from top to bottom looks like over exposure till under exposure. The pictures of 1/1250s looks darker as the shutter speed moves fast. The pictures of 1/4s, 1/15s and 1/40s look brighter as the shutter speed moves slow. So, the shutter speed setting also control the brighter or the darker of your image. As well as aperture effects the exposure.
