Aperture Assignment

This assignment had been broken down into four different areas. I have produced a series of photographs for each area that I believe have represented these tasks well. I haven't edited any of these images in Photoshop to show how the camera has taken the photographs.

For the first task I have produced a series of photographs of the same subject, changing the aperture to alter the depth of field within the photographs.

Canon 1000D

ISO 400

Aperture: f/ 4

Exposure: 1/10 second

ISO 400

Aperture: f/ 8

Exposure: 1/10 second

Canon 1000D

ISO 400

Aperture: f/ 14

Exposure: 1/10 second

By changing the aperture I find that it has changed the depth of field slightly. It has also changed the amount of light allowed within the photographs.

The second task I have produced a series of photographs that represent having a large depth of field where everything is in focus. This has included subjects that are both close and far away.

The third task I have taken a series of images that differentiate between the foreground and the background.

ISO 200

Aperture: f/ 4.5

Exposure: 1/ 60 second

This photograph is representing the foreground being in focus and the background out of focus.

Canon 1000D

ISO 200

Aperture: f/ 5.6

Exposure: 1/50 second

This photograph also represents the foreground to be in focus and the background out of focus.

Canon 1000D

ISO 200

Aperture: f/ 4.5

Exposure: 1/ 8 second

This image represents the foreground being in focus.

Canon 1000D

ISO 200

Aperture: f/ 8

Exposure: 1/ 320 second

I find that within this image i have captured the background to be in focus and the foreground to be out of focus. This however could be due to the lighting.

Canon 1000D

ISO 200

Aperture:f/8

Exposure: 1/ 2500 second

When looking at this photograph I find that I have achieved to keep the foreground very well in focus.

Canon 1000D

ISO 200

Aperture: f/ 8  

Exposure: 1/ 400 second

My main focus when takin this photograph was the reflection of the wheel in the glass. I find that I have successfully captured this reflection in focus keeping the background out of focus.

The final task with regards to the Aperture assignment, I have produced photographs that demonstrate my ability to create a sense of visual focus between a series of similar objects.
