For this experiment we was asked to set our cameras to shutter priority and shutter speed to 1 second.
For the first task of this experiment we was asked to zoom the lens whilst pressing the shutter, this gave the effect of the image from different distances. I tried this twice and I think that the first one was unsuccessful and I do not like this image because it doesn't show much and is too much of a blur. I like this second image because although it is blurred, it isn't too blurred and it gives a good effect which I feel makes this image successful.
For the second task of this experiment we was asked to take a portrait of someone whilst rotating the camera using the same settings as we did for the first task. Although this is very blurred I feel that it was successful and I like this image. Because I had a longer shutter speed of 1 second and moved the camera for the whole length of taking this photograph it gives it a blurred ghost like effect, and I feel that the lights in the background also give a good effect to the photo, I did not intend to include these lights in the image but with them blurring into the person and only being able to see the bottom half of him I think it gives this photo a different style.
For the third task of this experiment we was asked to take a portrait of someone whilst shaking the camera. I tried twice and have taken two images for this task. I feel the first one was more successful than the second because although they are both blurred, the second one is too blurred and doesn't show anything and to me doesn't give a good effect. Out of the two I like the first one better because there is more detail and it works a lot better.
For the forth task of this experiment we was asked to take a portrait of someone whilst rotating and zooming at the same time whilst taking the photograph. I also have taken two images for this task and in both of them it has had an effect that there is a shadow of the person in the photograph in all different directions from the original position, this could be used for the effect that the person is coming out of its original body. I like the first photo better as it has more detail and shows a lot more. I feel the first one was successful but could be a lot more improvement made and could use a lot more experimenting with, and I think that the second one was unsuccessful because there isn't much to show in the image.
Experiment 3: Light writing and painting
For this experiment we was asked to work in a dark room so we went into the studio, we was asked to set our cameras to Manual exposure mode, set the shutter speed to 4 seconds or use the B setting, set the aperture to f8 and use a torch and coloured gels. We used a tripod for this and followed these rules, setting the shutter speed to 4 seconds but whilst trying to use this we found that 4 seconds wasn't long enough to use this to write anything longer that one letter so we changed this setting to the B setting and found this worked a lot better as we can choose how long the shutter stays open for. We also used the torches on our phones and to change the colours of this light we found blue and green material to put over the lights to make them different colours.
For the first task of this experiment we was asked to produce at least 3 images of light writing, for this we produced one each writing our names. I feel that mine was successful as we could choose how long the shutter was open for so we
got the whole thing in without the shutter being open for too long or not long enough. I like this image because it is very clear and easy to read and I think that it looks like a good image.
For the second task of this experiment we was asked to produce at least 3 images of light painting, for this we produces three each making different shapes and images. For this task we set the shutter speed to 4 seconds so that it wasn't open for too long and didn't create too much light. For my first one I got a piece of blue material and placed it over the light of my phone and rotated it in the shape of different sized circles, which I like and think was successful as the light is very bright and clear and creates a good image, it isn't too bright or has too much light and isn't too dull and has too little light. For my second one I used the same material to create the same light and another member of our group got a green coloured material and placed it over another light and together we created a combined circle of lights looping into each other which we created by creating circles with our lights overlapping partly. Although we could of gone a bit closer to the camera or created bigger circles I feel that this was successful and I like this image because of how the lights combine and that we have two different coloured lights. For my last image of this task we did the same thing except we didn't create circles, we decided to jump about and wave our lights about to see what this created, although it doesn't look very structured this image was successful and I like it because of the combination of two different coloured lights and the way they fill almost all of the frame but not too much.
For this experiment we was asked to work indoors so we worked in the classroom. We was asked to set our cameras to Shutter Priority, select a shutter speed of 4, 6 or 8 and keep the steady absolutely still so we used a tripod.
For the tasks of this experiment we was asked to photograph a stationary person who rushes out of shot half way through exposure, then repeat with a different shutter speed to get a better effect then repeat but make the person appear more transparent and then repeat but make the person less transparent. We started off by using a shutter speed of 8 seconds and walking out half way through at 4 seconds, we then decided to shorten the shutter speed to 4 seconds and again walk out half way through at 2 seconds to try and make it more transparent. We then changed the shutter speed to 6 seconds but only walking out after 5 seconds to try and make the person appear less transparent. This took some experimenting with the shutter speed and the timing and from this we got a range of different images. This experiment was successful and I like the images that we created as they give a good transparent and ghost effect.
Experiment 5 - Frozen motion
For this experiment we was asked to work outdoors and to set the camera to a fast shutter speed and if the images are under-exposed then increase the ISO to 400 or 800.
For the first tasked we was asked to take a portrait of someone jumping to freeze the motion. We set the shutter speed to 1/125 and had the ISO on 100. The only thing that I did wrong with this task was that I had the camera setting on manual instead of shutter priority and didn't have the setting on the right exposure so the background was too bright. But other than this problem I think that the first two photographs I have taken for this task have been successful, I caught it at the right time and it isn't blurry, the third one I had taken was taken to early so it wasn't caught at the right time, but the first two images I like and am happy with.
For the second task we was asked to take a picture of someone running to also freeze the motion. For this I experimented with the shutter speed and started with it on1/125 which worked ok but was a little blurry which didn't freeze the motion. I then changed the shutter speed to 1/500 which worked a lot better and again although the exposure settings weren't correct so the sky in the background was a bit bright this was successful, wasn't blurry and caught it in a freeze motion. I like these images but something to improve on for next time would be having the exposure settings correct.
For the last task we was asked to take a picture of someone running but choose a shutter speed to give
someone a motion blur. For this we used a shutter speed on 1/4 which gave a complete blur to the person and I think gives a good effect. I think that this was successful and I like this one because it gives the person a complete motion blur and not the background.
