photo #1

Objective 2: Creative Exposure

The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M) and why I chose it: I used the camera mode M so that I could adjust the aperture and ISO.

F stop used and why: I used the f stop 5.6 to have a small aperture to create a small depth of field of the flower.

Shutter speed used and why: I used the shutter speed 1/60 so that I could capture the image with as little shake as possible and to avoid a blurry image.

ISO used and why: I used the ISO 100 so that it would let in more light.

Exposure compensation and why it was used: I used the auto exposure compensation to keep a natural light in the photo.

Focal length and why: I used the focal length 55.0 mm so that I could get a really close-up view of the flower.

 

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

The elements of design demonstrated:

Line: This photo has diagonal and curved lines.

Space: This photo creates space with a negative background because it is plain, and you can't see anything else except the flower.

Form: This photo has form because of the shadows on the individual petals that give off a 3D effect.

Texture: This photo has texture because it is a macro shot, and makes the petals appear soft and smooth.

 

Objective 4: Lighting

Type of lighting and why: I used natural lighting for this photo. I used this type of lighting to create more dramatic shadows in between the petals to give a 3D look to it.

 

Objective 5: Post Production
