Fixed Photo Shoot Reflection

1. What did you learn about the camera when you took these photos?I learned more of how all the settings and all of the aspects of a camera's photo can be tweaked and modified. I also learned that light is the most important aspect to photography, because the amount of light will greatly effect a photo.

2. What do you notice about all the photos and the way they look?
Most of the photos I took were dark, and difficult to see. Because of the location, we already had limited light, and so the low ISO setting made it all darker than an evenly lit photo. The other photos we took as a group started to see more of the gradual gradient that we are ought to see.

3. Can you tell the difference between each ISO? Explain how.
In the beginning, the photos are considerably dim and dark. Even the first photo was dark. You could tell immediately that a new ISO setting was in effect when a photo was very obviously brighter in terms of light. By the end, when the ISO was at it's highest, you could see a large majority of the photos, as opposed to the beginning of the photos when everything was much darker.

4. What does this tell you about ISOs and what it does when you change it when you take pictures.
As the ISO setting gets higher in number, the sensitivity to light is increased. As a result, there is generally more light in the photo but since there is more light, the clarity of the photo was also compromised.

5. What about focus? Can you see a difference in the photos? Tell me what differences and similarities you see.

In the early photos, I could see the subjects and the environment very clear. The later photos weren't completely blurred, but it was a bit more grainy with each step, and especially in the end.


6. Post the best photo you took on your blog. Make sure to label the following things: ISO, Shutter Speed, F-stop, Distance, Focal Length, Lighting.

f/4.5     1/125 sec     ISO-3200     7 ft       24mm   Well-lit, Indoors  

7. What do you need to concentrate on when you go out to shoot next time when you have to shoot in Manual setting?

I need to concentrate on my ISO setting, and my shutter speed in order to manage the light in my photo, but I shouldn't use too high of an ISO because I don't want to lose some details.
