Photo#6

 

Objective 2: Creative Exposure

The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M) and why I chose it: Av mode because I wanted control of the aperture

f stop used and why: 7.1 because I wanted the focus mainly on the team and less on the surrounding area.

shutter speed used and why: 1/40s because I wanted it to be fast enough to capture the image without blur.

ISO used and why: 800 because I wanted to eliminate camera shake without sacrificing a lot of quality.

Focal length and why: 55.0mm because the team was far away and I didn’t want a huge empty space with the team in the very background.

 

Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design

The principles of design demonstrated (describe the use):

•The emphasis is on the standing players in this photo. Emphasis is used to draw attention to a specific part of a photo.

•Contrast is created with the dark shirts against the lighter background and the bright coloured numbers.

• Unity is created with all the aspects in the photo being tied to volleyball.

 

 

Objective 5: Post Production

Resizing

Contrast

Sharpening

Both contrast and sharpening was done minimally to keep the photo as close to the original scene as possible.

 

 

Objective 6: Critique

Areas in this photo that could be improved, is gaining stronger elements. Balance could have been created if there had been something in the foreground instead of just empty space. This photo was taken in a gym so the lighting was not great and it could not be controlled. This is an unavoidable weakness of this photo.

 

 

Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.) – Explain why the settings and composition are appropriate for the style of photography

Type/style of photography: Photojournalism

The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): Av

f stop used: 7.1

shutter speed used: 1/40s

ISO used: 800

Focal length: 55.0mm

The settings are appropriate for this style of photography because I changed my settings based on my surroundings. Photojournalism is not set up, you have to adjust what you are doing to match where you are and what you are photographing.
