Project 2: Exposure & Aperture Shoot

ISO 100, S 200, F 3.5
This was my exposure shot, shooting a side street creepy mannequin that was in the shadows. Peterson’s example was a man in the shadows with the correct exposure on his face and the background being intentionally over exposed. I tried to do that with my mannequin being correctly exposed the wall being over exposed because it wasn’t under the same shade. When I took this shot I was also under to shade. It was the middle of the day so I set my ISO at 100 in order for it to be correctly balanced.

ISO 400, S 3, F 8.0

ISO 400, S 8, F 3.5
This is my aperture photo that is trying the blur effect by focusing on the depth of filed. Peterson suggests I controlled the amount of light by opening my aperture to the brightest setting I have which is F 3.5. I was also shooting right after sunset so I needed to pick up as much light as possible so I also needed a lower shutter speed. Instead of shooting a depth of field shot with Peterson’s example of a flower, I did an ash tray filled with rocks. The rocks helped me contrast against the white table as well as getting my camera to focus on the ash tray. This effect took me 20 tries which was frustrating because in order for my camera to focus on the ash tray instead of the background, was finally achieved holding my button down halfway and getting close to the ash tray. Peterson describes the 3 most important factors of depth of field the focal length, distance between the focused subject and I, and the aperture. Which I felt I utilized correctly given my 2 aperture settings and time of day.
