Four Influences of Exposure

For our first assignment, we were asked to find four images, two based off shutter speed and two off of  depth of field (DoF), and explain how we know that's what they are.

 This first image would have to be using a very wide DoF. I know this because, if the DoF was any shorter, it would become a fairly blurry picture.

 This photo uses a very, very shallow DoF. I know this because, the bugs eyes are extremely in focus and the background has no texture to it, it's a flat green.

 So this picture is using two  Influences, Shutter speed, and DoF. A fast shutter speed and shallow DoF. I know this because, the high shutter speed allows the sparks to be caught mid strike from the lighter, and the finger is able to be caught so in focus with the lighter, because of the DoF.

This picture uses the opposite Influences than the one above because it uses a slow shutter speed and wide DoF. I know this because, the shot is very wide and all in focus. I know that this photo uses a slow shutter speed, because the water looks very soft as it moves over the sturdy rocks.

What I Want to Take Photos of.

For our second assignment we were asked to choose three pictures of what kind of photography we wanted to shoot. I had said pictures of cosplayer's in costumes that tell a story. Below show the type of photo's I was talking about. All three photos include a total different lighting for each one. The first includes harsh sun light with a shallow depth of field, the middle is light provided from a flash with a long depth of field, and the last uses window light with a wide depth of field.

      Two of the three photos include story without having to use any words to portray it, as the first photo doesn't really provide that. I want to take pictures of one of my friends, and mainly outside in an urban environment, like downtown, or in studio with professional lighting. Although you wont be able to see eyes, you can still get a strong message across.
