Bad Photos

REMEMBER TO USE APPROPRIATE SHUTTER SPEED, F-STOP, AND ISO FOR A GOOD PHOTO.  CONSIDER USING ANGLE SHOTS FROM BELOW, ABOVE, ETC. DO NOT GIVE ME BORING STRAIGHT-ON SHOTS. MY CRITICAL EYE FINDS THOSE TYPES OF IMAGES BORING. A BAD PHOTO IS A BAD PHOTO...THERE ISN'T ENOUGH PHOTOSHOP IN THE WORLD TO SAVE A BAD PHOTO.

Due Date: February 26

  1. Rationale
  2. Assignment 1
  3. Assignment 2

Your task for this project is easy: All you have to do is capture the passing of time (with two methods available to you)

Create a new folder inside your Digital Photography folder and title it “Life is a Blur Sometimes” (this is where you will store all your photos for this assignment.

Using the appropriate settings (manually) on your camera, take twelve different photographs of things (person, object, natural occurrence) in motion. When shooting while trying to capture motion blurs, consider the following:

    1. Stabilize Your Camera. (Use a Tripod)
    2. Decrease Your Shutter Speed. Shutter speed is the most critical factor to consider when capturing motion blur. ...
    3. Use a Smaller Aperture. ...
    4. Use the Shutter Priority Mode. ...
    5. Reduce Your ISO Setting. ...
    6. Use Neutral-Density Filters to Create Motion Blur....if you have them (not everybody does)

     Fairground blur night

    The images (six photos) you shoot for this should depict things that in motion to appear to be highly blurred,  with the general environment (or stationary objects, people, etc) are clear in their detail (see the examples below).

    Name all photos associated with Part 1 as “CA1,” “CA2,” “CA3,” etc.

     

    claire blurred

    The images (six photos) you shoot for this should depict things that are in motion where the object is in focus and is well defined but the surrounding environment is blurred due to the motion.  (see examples below)

    Name all photos associated with Part 1 as “AWT1,” “AWT2,” “AWT3,” etc.
