Shutter Speed Assignment










 For an assignment in my photography class at school, I had a shutter speed project. In these photos is my lovely assistant, Mariah. Shutter speed is how fast the shutter in the camera stays open to let light in. The slower shutter speed you have, the less in focus your subject will be. It slows down the action. The faster the shutter speed, the more in focus you subject will be. It freezes action. In the above photos you will see the change from slow to fast shutter speeds (except for the last one because it's in the wrong place).
          

Depth of Field Assignment








            For an assignment in my photography class at school I was asked to do a depth of field project. When you have a shallow depth of field, your subject will be clear while your background will be very blurry. The more you open up your aperture, the clearer your background will be. In the above photos you will see the background change focus by the opening up of the aperture.
