This photograph has the smallest aperture. By having a smaller aperture, there is more blurriness in the photograph. As you can see, the railing is in focus compared to the background which is blurry.
Aperture F4
This photograph has a medium aperture, this should mean that the photograph is less blurry than the photograph above. You can see that the railing is still in focus, but the background is clearer than the above photograph.
Aperture F18
This last photograph has the largest aperture of the three. If taken correctly, the whole image should be in focus without anything being blurry. There is some blur but this could be because of an error made by me as the photographer. You can see that it is clearer than the other two photographs.
Aperture - F29
Slower shutter speeds can be used to show movement in a photograph. When a slower shutter speed is used, a longer time passes from when the shutter opens, to when it closes again. This means that there is more times for movement to be recorded by the camera. It also allows more light in to the camera which is good when you are shooting in dark conditions, but your subject needs to be very still and you would preferably need a tripod if you want to avoid having camera shake which will spoil the photograph. The camera will adjust your aperture setting, to compensate how much light will fall on the sensor. It will select one that is small enough to achieve a correct exposure. This will increase the depth of field in your image. Aster shutter speeds need a lot of light to get the correct exposure.
The faster the shutter speed is, the clearer the moving images are. This photograph was taken with a shutter speed of 2 seconds. You can see the blur across the photograph. This shows that an object was moving as a fast speed and this creates the look of the photograph.
Shutter Speed 2
This photograph was taken with a shutter speed of 1/100 of a second, so quite fast. If you look closely at the photograph is has some blur, showing that the shutter wasnt quick enough to get a clear photograph of the truck.
This photograph of the car was on the fastest shutter speed out of the three photographs, at 1/500 of a second. This photograph is a lot sharper and clearer than the other two. This just shows that if you are wanting to get a moving image, like a car, to look still, you need a very fast shutter speed to make it as sharp as possible.
ISO settings
The ISO setting on a camera changes how sensitive the sensor to light is. The ASA or ISO number of a film tells you how sensitive the film is to light. The bigger the number is, the more sensitive or faster the film or sensor is. A faster film or sensor needs less light to produce an image than a slow one. When shooting in low light conditions without a tripod, it may be that increasing the ISO will let you get the images you need. ISO 6400 ISO 3200 ISO 1600 ISO 800 ISO 400 ISO 200 ISO 100
Increased ISO
Decreased ISO
As ISO speeds get faster, the chance of seeing noise on your photographs increases. Image noise is the variation of brightness or colour in the images that are produced by the sensor of a digital camera. Image noise is generally regarded as a bad thing as it can reduce the quality of your photographs. If you want the quality of your image to be very high, a low ISO is required to avoid noise. Each time you double to ISO, e.g.. 200 to 400, the camera only needs half as much light for the same exposure. High ISOs are usually used indoors, especially at sporting events.
This is an example of noise in a photograph. This usually happens when you zoom in on a photograph. As you can see, its very pixelated so it doesnt look sharp and looks messy. Noise tends to show up when you crop and zoom in on a photograph. It becomes less sharp.
The ISO setting changes how sensitive the film is to light. The bigger the number the more sensitive it is to light. This photograph has a low ISO, and this does show how dark the photograph is. In a well light area, a higher ISO should be used to get the best images.
ISO - 100
This photograph was taken using this middle ISO setting. Although it is a clear photograph, it is quite dark in comparison to the photograph below and some objects are as visible.
ISO - 400
This photograph was set at the highest ISO available on the camera. This shows how clear the images is. Its very bright and it shows all of the details well. This shows that a higher ISO setting is better if you are wanting a bright photograph which shows up lots of detail.
ISO - 1600
White Balance
The white balance settings on a camera help the camera to understand what white is. The auto-white balance setting will work in most situations, but sometimes you may need to change the colour setting to get the right photograph. Using the cloudy setting in bright daylight will give your image a yellow tint to it. Using the fluorescent light setting will give your images a greeny blue tint. Sometimes you can choose the wrong white balance on purpose to change the look of your photographs. Careful adjustments can change the mood of the photographs. Adding blue to the image can make it look cold, whereas adding yellows and oranges can give it a warming feeling. Our eyes are very good at judging what is white under different circumstances and light sources, but digital cameras cant do that.
Automatic
Daylight
Shade
The Automatic photograph was the first photograph I took and it shows what the sign and the surroundings look like in the natural tones. When I changed to the Daylight setting, you can see how there is a yellowy tint to the photograph. This makes sense because the daylight is quite yellow and this would look better when taking a photograph outside in the sunny weather. It is used for a normal daylight setting. The shade setting also has a yellowy tint, but its a bit more fierce. If you are taking a picture under the shade, it tends to come out in a more bluer colour, hence why you need to warm up the surroundings. This also is best when taken in outdoor conditions. From the White Fluorescent Light photograph, you can see it has more of a white and blue tint to it. This mode is usually used to produce cooler images, hence why you need to warm up the surroundings.
Original image
Cropped
This is a cropped image of the original truck. As the image is also zoomed in, you can see how the shutter speed worked on this image. It has a bit of blur which shows you it was moving when the photograph was being taken. It is clearer to see that the truck is moving than on the original image.

Levels
The levels in this photographs have been changed to create this new image. I adjusted the image just enough so the colours in the truck werent lost in the background because its quite dark. I like how the truck stands out because of the bright colours. It contrasts with the blacky background.
Dodge
Burn
I have taken one half of the photograph and applied the dodge technique to it and on the other half applied the burn technique. Using the dodge technique makes the photograph lighter and you can see this when comparing it to the other half and also the original image. The burning technique makes the image darker, like it is being burnt. In this technique some of the features are lost, for example in the trees in the background, they arent as visible anymore.

Colour adjustments
I have adjusted the colours in this photograph. I wanted the image to have as much detail as it would as the original image does and after many different colour changes, I found this to be the best one. I quite like the pinky hue to the ground and the sky because it gives character. Depending on which colour you choose, the photograph will turn that colour. Fro example if you moved the cursor more to Cyan, the photograph would turn Cyan.
