I learned a lot when doing this assignment. I learned how much shutter speed really affects the quality of the picture. I also found out, to get a good motionblur photo, a tripod really helps. Tv mode was also helpful when doing this assignment, it helped me get a good quaility photo while still having it be blurry. A flat backround also helps with making only te subject blurry and not the backround. Thats what I learned from motion blur.

Motion sharp was also a good learning experience. Tv mode was also used for this assignment. I went out side while kids were at P.E and that was a good opportunity to get good sharp motion photos. I set my shutter speed to 1/4000 sec so it would catch everything thats moving without it being blurry. The lighting outside also added a good effect to my photo. I also had a higher ISO since I was outside. And thats what I learned about sharp action photos.

Depth of field is made up of different factors. On your camera you have to adjust your apeture the larger your f-stop is, the better your depth of field would be in that photo. If your f-stop is a smaller number then your photo would have a shallow depth of field. Along with that, your camera mode should be on apeture priority because apeture affects the depth of a photo. Another factor that affects the depth of one of your photos is the distance you are away from the subject. If you are far away and zoomed in your depth of feild will be much more shallow than if you were close to the subjects and not zoomed in.

If your apeture is a low f-stop like if it was F/5.6 and your are far away from the subject and you zoom in, then your phoot is bound to have a shallow depth of field. But if you are close to your subject and you have your camera on a larger f-stop like F/16 then your photo will most likely have good depth of field. Another thing that factors into depth of feild is focusing. You should have your camera on manuel focus to really capture the effect you are going for. Another thing you can do to work on your depth of field skills is analyze depth of field in some photos your like so you can really absorb the photo. Knowing what good and shallow depths of feilds are will help you create your own photos with depth of field.

This collage describes me well. I added music artists I like, along with album covers because I love music. That is why i put the apple music logo since that is what I use to listen to music. I also added a variety of different foods and snacks I like. I also added a picture of the Annabelle doll because i love scary movies. I added the instagram logo because it is my most used social media.

I put in many pictures of my dogs and cats because they are my children and I love them so much. I also put a picture of 2nd grade me holding and award because i have been a scholar since day one. And the giant roller coaster is to represent how much i love amusement parks like 6 flags and knott’s. In the back i put rain and the beach because i love both of them so much. And lastly I put in a lego house because legos are cool.

I think my photos have good composition because in all three photos I used the rule of thirds. I edited my photographs well because before they were edited that looked bland. If i shot this again i would try use different types of composition the make my photos more diverse. I’m not sure if they are good enough to be on the home page but I am proud of how good they look.
