Task 1: Produce a series of three photographs showing the effect of ‘Depth of Field’. Use three different apertures to demonstrate this, for example: f2.8, f8 and

f22. Set up your photograph and focus on a point near to you for all three shots,

this will insure that the focus remains constant during this project. Remember to

alter ‘shutter speed to compensate for aperture change and keep ISO constant

Task 2: Produce a series of three photographs showing the effect of Shutter

Speed’. Use three different shutter speeds to demonstrate this, for example:

½ sec, 60th and 250th. Choose a subject through which you may illustrate

movement and the freezing of this. Remember to alter aperture to

compensate for shutter speed change and keep ISO constant.

Task 3: Produce a series of three photographs showing the effect of lens

‘Focal Length’. Use three different focal lengths on a zoom lens or use three

‘fixed’ focal length lenses, for example a wide angle 28mm, a standard –

50mm or a telephoto 100mm and above. Fill the frame each time to make

the ‘crop’ similar in each shot.

Introduction

This set of theory tasks is to help me understand and demonstrate the

photographic theory of light as well as the photographic properties behind them.

The tasks require me to think about depth of field, aperture and exposure when

taking an image. Creating a set of images to fit the brief that illustrate these

camera techniques.

Outline

Task one consists of showing the effects of depth of field with the use of three

different apertures to demonstrate this. Each of the three shots must be

consistent in terms of focus throughout. The shutter speed was also adjusted to

compensate for the aperture change whilst the ISO remained the same.

For task two, I was required to produce a short series of images that showed the

effect of shutter speed. This was done by using three different shutter speeds

and chose a subject that I could demonstrate this with, in this case my hand.

Again, I altered the shutter speed whilst my ISO remained the same.

The final task involves showing the effects of the lens focal length. For this I used

the focal lengths of 55mm, 70mm and 100mm on my Canon 80D.

Positive Aspects

With each of these tasks being fairly basic in terms of the camera settings and the

properties behind them, I felt like I have not learnt anything new by doing this.

Mainly as I do this automatically when taking photos. As these shots were all taken

at home and away from the studio, I did not have to worry about a studio set up

nor sync speeds from flash triggers. It was all completed solely with just my camera

and the daylight from my window. In terms of my preference, I would have to say

that I preferred using a shallow depth of field. With the background appearing

blurred and you can focus on the main subject, it really helps to isolate your

subjects or model from the background. This is also why it is a brilliant technique

for class portraiture photography.

Looking at freezing the motion with shutter speed. I think its handy for capturing

subjects such a birds, sports and other moving objects. Using 1/125th of a second,

1/60th of a second and 1/30th of a second you can see how the freeze changes

from a solid frozen image to something blurred in movement. This is all down to

how long my cameras sensor is exposed to light and how much information it can

capture during that time.

Areas for Improvement

For these tasks I believe that there is not much to specifically improve on. The

composition or the idea behind the images such as the subject could have been

more interesting, but I was just working with what I have around me. However, as

a photographer I am always learning and improving. It is very helpful though to

understand basic camera theory like this if I were ever to become stuck or to even

show/explain it to someone just starting out.

Evaluation of Learning

I think that I have learnt whilst doing this is that practice makes perfect, as with

everything. Research is also very important whether that be referring to notes or

books to help keep myself right. As well as time management, even though these

tasks were relatively quick to complete it still involved putting time aside to carry

them out.
