SHUTTER SPEED

SLOW SHUTTER SPEED

Today we where  shown how to take images using slow shutter speeds in order to get a image that is blurred.
Below are a few of my images.


 The above image was taken in the elevator, using the elevator mirror.

 The above image was taken on the main road outside college this image is of a man riding his bicycle.

The above image is of a tree within the college grounds with the leafs blowing in the wind.

APERTURE AND DEPTH OF FIELD

APERTURE AND DEPTH OF FIELD.

Aperture is simply the hole in the centre of the lens that allows light to enter through to access the sensor. 
The numbers on the lens are a method of knowing what size the aperture is lenses all have different apertures allowing each lens to be able to give a totally different image. 



DEPTH OF FIELD
Depth of field refers to how much of the image is in focus which is the are that is in a sharp view compared to the rest of the image.
Using depth of field allows the photographer to be able to make the viewer of their creation focus on the area of the image that they actually wont them to view.
