Blow Out and Panning

I created the blow out effect by changing the ISO many times and I also put a shutter speed on my camera. I think it was a good way of taking a picture because I am using simplicity and leaving the background brighter and it came out really good I mean I was focusing on my subject. Panning is when you freeze time and your object is still while the rest of the picture is sort of blurry. My panning picture looked sort of blurry but I think I could of did a better job by following my partner at her speed. Panning was difficult in a way because it was hard getting my partner to stay a little clear than the rest of the picture. Every single picture I would take would come out all blurry. At the end I made it seem a little more panning like.

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is how fast the light gets to come in. in the room there wasn’t enough light and with the shutter speed you could take pictures in the dark and still come out really good. I had to set up the camera by changing the ISO and I had to put a timer. I would choose shutter speed over ISO or aperture because even though it’s dark your pictures would come out good and not too blurry or dark. Also you could create many creative pictures with the shutter speed setting.

Aperature

Aperture is the opening of the camera is and how much light would come in. in the first picture the opening of the camera is big because you can only see the ladybug on the branch very clearly and the rest of the background is blurry. On the second picture the opening is smaller hole creating the depth of the background.

ISO

ISO Flash

ISO 50

ISO 400

ISO 5000

Iso is the film speed. Iso is how fast the light gets in your pictures. The difference between these couple of pictures is the lighting in them. With an ISO low it is dark and sort of blurry but then when I put the iso higher the picture kept getting more light in them. I would chose ISO over flash because with a flash your subject can be disturb with the flash and with ISO your subject can stand and not blink because of the flash. You would have to be careful with ISO because the picture may come out too blurry if you put it too high or too low.

Flash

The cons of not having flash when its dark is that it comes out blurry and it creates very ugly lighting situation. The pros of having flash are that it adds light and it freezes time and it eliminates the blurriness of the pictures. A good situation of using flash would be when you already have light in the background and you are in a dark place. This picture I chose is better without the flash because you could see the lights really good and the colors are very clear and if the flash would have been on then the lights were look like if they were off and the colors were going to look so different and unclear.

Metering

Light meters help you with the lighting of the picture. It also measures the amount of light so your picture wont come out too bright but not too dark either. In the bottom picture, it comes out too dark and that is because I didn’t activate the light meter by pressing the shutter half way but in the second picture I activated the light meter and it came a little better than the first one. Light meter is a good technique if you want good pictures.

Surrealism

In these artwork there is sadness in the flowers that don't have color. They are black and white, they don't look that happy. The flowers mean that you are growing but at the same time you don't want to keep on growing. You are happy in this moment and you want to stay at this age. The change of colors in the pants mean you are changing your mind many times. You make errors that you want and keep on changing. Water in your dreams mean that you are fluid. You want to be everywhere. When you are in a place, you feel like water and want to go to another place right away. Mountains, this mean that there is a barrier between you and someone close to you. You cannot be with that person, even if you try and try and try harder. This person does not know you want to be with him or her. Soon or later she/ he will find out and that barrier is going to move slowly.
