Reading Assessment 1

Types of Photographs      The main idea of this reading is that that photography is divided into two main categories: science and art. From these two categories, photographers divide their art into different, more specific, categories to keep organized. These categories also help the viewer interpret the photographers work. It is important to the photographer for the viewer to interpret their work so that they stay interested. Some of the discussed categories are scientific, interpretive, ethnically evaluative, aesthetically evaluative, and theoretical. Scientific pictures are purely explanatory with accuracy and fact. Interpretive pictures are self expressive and show the viewer information about the photographer and how they see the world. Ethnically evaluative photographs show emotions on past events while presenting the event that happened while still leaving interpretation open for the viewer. Aesthetically evaluative photos is an art photography that captures "bea...

Bracketing Assignment

Image
Exposure Value on 1 in the negative direction (meter at -1) Exposure Value on 0 (meter at 0) Exposure Value on 1 in the positive direction (meter at +1) What is bracketing and what settings did you manipulate on your camera, by what increments (in stops) in order to achieve it? Bracketing is a technique in photography when the photographer takes multiple shots of a subject using different camera settings. In this series of photographs, I manipulated the exposure value. Each image in order differs by one full stop.

ISO Part 2

Scenario 1: Window Light Sunset ISO: 100     Shutter: 1/1025  ISO: 320     Shutter: 1/3165  ISO: 400     Shutter: 1/6849  The best photo in this situation is the final image when I used a higher setting. This is because the photo was shot indoors and not directly beside the window. The higher ISO setting allowed more light to flow into the photograph, however if I had raised the ISO anymore, the photo would have developed noise. Scenario 2: Glassless Window Dusk ISO: 2000     Shutter: 1/39  ISO: 800     Shutter: 1/14  ISO: 160     Shutter: 1/2  The best photo in this situation is the second image when I used a median setting. This is because there was harsh and direct light coming through the empty windowpane. Looking back at this image, I realize that I could have used a slightly higher ISO in order to let more light into the camera to define the sh...

ISO Part 1

Image
ISO 320   Shutter 1/50 ISO 2000 Shutter 1/326 What was the effect on your other exposure settings when you changed the ISO?       As I increased the ISO, I started to see digital noise in my image. The increase in ISO and shutter speed created more noise. I found that the result of more noise is a rougher image, a decrease in image quality, and a less vibrant tone of siena in my doll's hair.
