Preliminary photography task

 After learning more about the different camera settings I re-shot my preliminary photography task. This was a very beneficial thing to do as it allowed to to apply what I had learnt in a practical setting. I used a cannon 700D to take these photos and experimented with the different aperture, ISO and shutter speed settings.

Creative mode: TV 'time value' 
ISO: 800
Shutter speed: 1/250
The theme of this picture was aloneness as it is one flower by itself, held by one person and this takes up thw whole shot. The shutter speed was low and this meant that  the colours are very rich and more detailed. This is a reccomended setting for in daylight. The ISO was set at 800 and with the brightness of the outside, this means it wasn't overly exposed.


Creative mode: TV 'time value'
ISO: 1600
shutter speed: 1/400
The theme of this picture was again aloneness, taken for the same reasons as written above. The shutter speed was higher which meant that it captured the image as still even though it was windy. The ISO was set at 1600 which was too high for the setting and this is why the photo is overexposed and there isn't a very good focus on the flower. 

Creative mode: AV 'Aperture value'
Aperture: F3.5
ISO:800
The theme of this picture is 'togetherness'. All of the flowers together show collectiveness. The aperture was set at F3.5 which meant that some light could enter the camera but also meant that it has quite deep depth of focus and most of the shot is in focus. The ISO was 800 so there is enough light to visibally see the image but it isn't over exposed.

Creative mode: AV 'Aperture value'
ISO:1600
Aperture:F4.5
The theme of this picture was also 'togetherness' for the same reasons as written above. The Aperture was higher than the previous photo which meant that more light was let in and this alongside the ISO of 1600 made the image very clear and bright. This also has quite a deep depth of field but flowers closest to the camera are best in focus


Overall this task was a very helpful task which will put me in a good position to create my digipak and magazine photos later in my project. Here is me shooting these photos;
