ZOOM
 Settings: Time Variant: 1/40 Aperture: F5.6 ISO: 400 In this image I was experimenting with depth of field as well as zooming in and out of my subject. The natural source of light reflecting on the flowers gives angelic look to the photo. The contrast in shadows and light also hightens the detail in the flowers and makes the subject of the wasp stand out. This is my favourite image out of the two. |  Settings: Time Variant: 1/60 Aperture: 5.6 ISO: 400 Here is the second perspective of the subject. Zooming out slightly opens up more space around the subject and adding more detail. I used manual focusing so I could focus the lens onto the wasp in the background so your eyes are instantly drawn to the flower bush in the background as the flowers in the foreground are in soft focus. |
DEPTH OF FIELD
 Settings: Time Variant: 1/30 Aperture: F8 ISO 200 Depth of field enhances an image increasingly, a single part of detail becomes significant as the rest of the detail becomes out of focus. Here I have shown how you get a contrasting depth of field from the background and the wheat. This makes the wheat in the foreground alot sharper. |  Settings: Time Variant: 1/ 40 Aperature: F8 ISO 400 I have used the rule of thirds for this image as I want to make the photo look more interesting. I zoomed my lens onto the wheat and I was very specific in how much depth of field I wanted. This again shows a comparison in how depth of field works in terms of your image and how you can make your subject stand out. |
BURST EFFECT
 Settings: Time Variant: 1/80 Aperture: F5.6 ISO: 400 To create this burst affect is a skill used manually on the camera. you firstly focus on what detail you want in focus you then capture the image you twist the lens in a fast motion so you are zooming into your subject. I played around with shutter speeds as the image can produce different tensities of the burst.
|  Settings: Time Variant: 1/60 Aperture: F5.6 ISO: 400 The burst effect creates a more abstract view of the image as the surroundings become slightly distorted. It also adds movement to the image as you are zooming into your subject. The burst effect merges some detail together as you are zooming into your subject whilst opening the shutter. |
 Settings: Time Variant: 1/10 Aperture: F11 ISO: 200 Light trials are very effective in an image and is easily done. It took me some time playing around with the shutter speeds as you need to get an idea of how fast your subject is. I took these two photos on a bridge overlooking a motorway. The cars were going fast so I need to get my shutter speed perfect in order to produce an affective light trial. Here the light trial didn't come out particularly well as I chose a slower shutter speed which then made the lines slightly distorted and messy.
|  Settings: Time Variant: 1/20 Aperture: F11 ISO: 400 However I was very happy with the outcome of this image. Each car has its own light trial leaving a gap between other cars. Increasing the shutter speed allows more light into the image and more specific detail. You can only shoot a light trial in the dark so your camera only picks up on the source of light from your subject. The effect gives the image more life and glow.

EXPOSURE
 Settings: Time Variant: 1/8 Aperture: F11 ISO: 600Here I was experimenting with movement, exposure and disorientation. I lowered the shutter speed as I want to show emphasis of the source of light shining on the crowd and to create a silhouette of peoples heads. I also moved the camera slightly when I captured the image to get this disorientation and blur. Lowering the shutter speed and moving the camera creates a weirder perspective to the photo. As this was in a drug filled event I wanted to match the settings to how someone would be viewing their surroundings whilst on drugs. |  Settings: Time Variant: 1/5 Aperture: F5.6 ISO: 600 With this second image I wanted to let in as much light as possible so I increased the ISO and lowered the aperture so the camera could pick up on more light. However this eliminated any subject or detail in the image and caused the lights to merge together. It is very difficult setting your camera correctly to match to your surroundings as I was in a dark room with lots of movement and lights. For this particular moment I played around with the exposure to see how much detail and clarity from the strobe lighting.
