EXPERIMENTATION WITH APERTURE TO SEE DEPTH OF FIELD

This is an example of low aperture. The central point of focus is the rock as less light is let into the frame causing the background to be blurred so our eye is drawn to a more specific part of the image that is in focus.

For a comparison, I took a photo of the same subject only changing the aperture between the two shots to clearly see the difference. On the image on the left, this again shows low aperture as the background is blurred and our eye is drawn to the main subject which is our central point of focus. For the image on the right, this shows high aperture as more light is let into the frame so the background is in focus and the main subject is slightly blurred. This experimentation allows me to see the clear effect of aperture and how that effects depth of field within an image.

EXPERIMENTATION WITH SHUTTER SPEED ON A MOVING IMAGE

Using a low shutter speed, I experimented with seeing how this affects the overall image. These two images present blurring the moving subject-in this case the cars- whilst keeping the background clear which i was able to do successfully.

In opposition to this, I experimented with a higher shutter speed in order to capture the moving object keeping both the subject of the image and the background clear.

EXPERIMENTATION WITH HIGH AND LOW ANGLES

The comparison between the same subject at different angles demonstrates how the angle of the image can affect the overall product. In the high angle image, we can see more of the surroundings in comparison to the low angle image where we see much more detail of the subject.

EXPERIMENTATION WITH ANGLES

By taking an image at same place and only adjusting the zoom having it on the lowest and highest, it allowed me to see the difference of the angles in the photo. Having a wider angle shows more of the scene whereas zooming in focuses more attention on the lamppost as the subject of the photo.
