Week 4 Composition
Today's lecture was about Composition. We explored Street photography which is just one of many types of genres of photography styles, which is common amongst a wide range of amateur to professional photographers. We set our cameras to Aperture settings and composed some photos for both indoor and outdoor photography to see the different outcomes of shots we got.
The first lot of indoor photography evidently show more camera shake. Due to the camera being set onto Aperture settings the camera automatically compensates the shutter speed with the lighting it is given to operate under. However this was overcome by focusing on a brighter subject to reduce the compensation of shutter speed to increase shutter speed within the indoor area.
55mm | 1/25 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
210mm | 0.6" | f6.3 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
58mm | 1.6" | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
210mm | 0.6" | f6.3 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
21mm | 0.5" | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
21mm | 1/13 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
21mm | 1/15 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
21mm | 1.3" | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
21mm | 1/8 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
16mm | 1/640 | f3.5 | ISO 25600 (Indoor)
16mm | 1/100 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Indoor)
The next lot of photos were taken outdoor to explore the differences and the kind of results we would produce from taking photos in bright conditions where natural light was plentiful.
16mm | 1/160 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
55mm | 1/25 | f8.0 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
16mm | 1/4000 | f11 | ISO 25600 (Outdoor)
16mm | 1/100 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
55mm | 1/320 | f8.0 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
55mm | 1/50 | f22 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
113mm | 1/3200 | f22 | ISO 25600 (Outdoor)
55mm | 1/2500 | f22 | ISO 25600 (Outdoor)
16mm | 1/100 | f4.5 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
55mm | 1/8 | f22 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
16mm | 1/40 | f3.5 | ISO 100 (Outdoor)
To summarize today's exercise, lighting is a very important factor which affects the final result of a photoshoot. Regardless of what environment or how good your camera is, lighting is still a key essential element which can produce a fine detailed photo or a grainy photo if lighting is poor. As the camera setting was in Aperture mode, the compensation for this setting was shutter speed which significantly affected the crisp images we saw in previous exercises where we used Shutter Speed settings to get much more crisp and less blurred images captured.
