How to uses an S.L.R... AT 9 O'CLOCK!!! (photography)

The theme for the photography pathway Is contrast. As usual I stated by listing contrasts in my sketch book. because of the limited time to do the lesson and the groups lack of experience the lesson itself was largely dedicated to the use of the camera and developing key skill (as I assume the majority of the lessons for this pathway will). I learned shutter speed which is the amount of time that the camera lets in light, and F stop witch is the amount of light that is allowed into the camera. with this, I experimented by taking pictures with short and long shutter speeds.

   Out of lesson I started to experiment witch photographing images that related to theme of contrast as documented in my sketch book. I began with light and dark and used dome of the zoom burst and focus blur photography and then moved onto text and imagery. I took photos of road signs and and the names of places in Birmingham.

   Next I experimented with depth of field on a nice day outside and took a photo of a statue in my house. because of the use of depth of field it made the image look like it was taken in from of a green screen and manipulated.

   Finally I took pictures that related to colour and contrasting colours.

   I have chosen the theme of text and imagery.
