Photography

Yesterday, our group went out to take pictures of different compositions. The cameras we used had shutter speeds and F apertures, so we needed to know how to change the ISO so the images would turn out. Underexposing an image would make it dark, this is because not enough light reached the film to create an image. Overexposing would make the image too bright, too much light would make the image white (the film was exposed too long, or the surroundings are too bright, such as a sunny day). By changing the shutter speeds and apertures correctly, the images can turn out beautifully, and understanding how to use the camera, you can use many helpful techniques to really make your images look professional (panning and blur)

Unfortunately, since this was our first day with the cameras, our images didn't turn out as we wanted them too. When we went out to shoot, we took pictures of the same object to test out what different f apertures and shutter speeds would create.

shutter speed: 1/200 F number 22
This image came out clear (no blur) however is slightly underexposed

shutter speed: 1/50 F number 18
Now the image is too bright, it was over exposed

shutter speed: 1/200 F number 22
Image is way underexposed

shutter speed: 1/50 F number 36
This image came out perfectly (in my opinion) it is slightly bright though
