Final: Part 2

This is my second set of photographs for the final project. I like these photos better than the others I will combine both sets to finalize my series.

Final: Part 1

I went down to downtown Pullman to see what night photos I could take. This was my first attempt at taking night photos and these were my favorites.

Documentary Photography

(1st Photo I will Print)

Portraiture Project

Abstract Project

These are my 20 photos for the abstract project. The only editing done is cropping and adjustment of contrast and saturation.

View Finder Project

This was a photo I recreated for the project. The moon is not in the photo but I tried to recreate the other elements.

In Class: Light Meter

We worked on light metering settings. These two photos show the difference in light meters the best. The first photo is with the centered light meter and the second photo was with the evaluative light meter.

These photos also show the difference between spot, centered, and evaluative light meters.

In Class: Depth of Field and Exposure

These first photos are the photos I took to show depth of field. In these photos I chose the shutter speed 60. I then chose the aperture of 5.6 and went up from there. In order they are 5.6, 8, 11, and 16. You can see in the photo that more and more of the foreground and background are in focus. In the first photo it is a little hard to tell because it is slightly over exposed but you can see as the aperture changes the ladder outside the window becomes more in focus. In the last two photos you can see more detail in the foreground and background shoeing the depth of field changing to a larger depth of field.

When we were asked to keep the shutter speed the same and change the aperture which meant that there was going to be less light hitting the sensor meaning the higher the f-stop number the less light would be in the exposure of the photo. In these first four photos that I changed I realized that the fist photo is over exposed and the second and third photos are a better exposure. The last photo is a little underexposed because of the darkness of the sky and the shadows. The perfect exposure seemed to be the third photo that showed the darks and lights of the photo and the f-stop and shutter speed were working together to expose it perfectly. I have added four more photos to the bottom that also show the different exposures and how the shutter speed and f-stop effect the exposure of the photo.

These four photos are also an example of the depth of field which I discussed earlier. (The shutter was at 1/30 and the f-stops are 5.6, 8, 11, and 16.) These photos show how the shutter speed and aperture change the exposure also because in each photo you can see the subject getting darker and becoming underexposed. The first set of four photos show over-exposure better and the second set of four show underexposure better.
