Aperture and Shutter Speed

         For this assignment, I had to take pictures that would show different apertures and different shutter speeds. The idea wasn't to take amazing photos with aperture and shutter speed. I just had to take photos that would show I know what aperture and shutter speed is and how to use them. Shutter speed is all about time. With these photos, it is best to take pictures of something moving. Every time you take a photo you would change the f-stop. Every f-stop you go up, the photo gets fuzzier and darker. For aperture, it deals with how much light you are letting in your camera. The photo is best when focusing on something. The higher you go, the less fuzzy everything in the photo is.


           When I first started this assignment, I thought it would be pretty easy. I was kinda wrong. Shutter speed was easier because all you needed to change from each photo was the fuzziness of the moving object and the darkness. That was just easy. But aperture I was having trouble with. When I took a couple of photos, I would check to see if everything was working out and nothing seemed to be changing. But then when I would look at my photo on the computer, I could see that things were changing. Even if it was a tiny little thing. I really did like this assignment though, so I would do it again. I would just have to remember that things will look differently on the computer then they do on the camera itself.

Composition 1

     For this assigment, I had to take six different types of photos. But before I was able to take those photos I had to learn all about the photos, how to take them and the best way to take them. After I was done taking notes, I went to sign up for a photoshop account. With photoshop I am able to take my pictures and save them, put them in my libray and make them into an album which then i make into a slideshow. Once I had my account all set up, thats when I was able to go and take the photos I needed for composition 1.

When I was done with this assigment, not only did I learn about new sites that would allow me to keep all of my photos, I also learned about new kinds of photos and if i did know those photos, I did not know the names. I learned how to take the best photos I could. I have always loved photography. Even if was just looking at photos my family took. But now I love that I can take photos, show them and they can give me feedback, like the way I use to.
