Session 2 - Aperture and Shutter Speed

Aperture
For the exercise of our second session, we set off to make use of different aperture size and also changing our shutter speed.  For testing the aperture, we focused on a single subject for two images. One with the aperture high and the other with it low.



What I take away from this is how much of a difference on the lighting that the aperture can make. The contrast between the first two images in the folder is evidence of this as you can see just how bright the second image becomes once the aperture is made higher as more light is allowed into the camera.

Shutter Speed
In order to test the shutter speed, we had to take a couple of images conveying movement. We did this by having the shutter speed low and moving the camera while it took the image.



The effect that I got was really interesting as it seemed to stretch out the light in the shot while maintaing some of the shapes in the image. This is especially apparent in the first image where we can still make out the stair banister, the window and the landing above however the light is stretched out much more while the second image, because the subject has a glass case, the case just appears to be submerged in light.
