Landscape/HDR Photo #3
Objective 6: Critique
Analyze your photograph for strengths and areas for improvement (consider composition, lighting, exposure, overall feel, etc.)
Strength: I like the lighting in this photo. Putting the 7 photos together, made it so that you can see all the lights and darks, and I like the overall feel of this photo, it is very peaceful.
Area for growth: I wish I had changed the aperture. I always forget to change it to a smaller one so that it will be a better photo.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles
Type/style of photography: Landscape
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): Manual – Manual gave me the freedom to change the exposure, so that I could get all different exposures to create the HDR.
f stop used: f/3.5- I should have changed the aperture to f/22 or something like that. I thought I had, but I guess I forgot. Otherwise it works. Front to back seems to be in focus.
shutter speed used: 1/60-Using a shutter speed that it higher than the focal length, helps keep camera shake away, so this shutter speed is appropriate for this photo. Except that the focal length that is displayed isn’t the only one I used. I changed it for each photo that was combined to create this photo.
ISO used: 100- I used a very small ISO, mostly because it was very bright out, and also because it helps with noise.
Exposure compensation: There isn’t one exposure for this photo, since I used a variety of them to create the HDR.
Focal length: 18mm- This focal length, made it so that there was as much of the scenery of the landscape as possible.
Style of Photography: HDR
This style of photography, allows you to see all the lights and dark's of the photo, giving the photo a more appealing look. Since a lot of the time, a photo will either have a blown out sky, or the foreground will be too dark, so that the sky will have perfect exposure. So this way, the whole photo has great exposure, and nothing has been blown out.
