Image 1: I like this image as it is clear from the start the it represents “Mathematics”, the glass over the wood adds a 3D effect; however I will need to crop it so that the image is more centered.
Image 2: Due to the use of the green box this contrasts with the black and white of the paper and writing which is why I like it.
Image 3: I like the contrast against the large black poster to the 3 small white posters, however I should have focused on making sure that all 4 posters could be seen.
This was my favourite photo because i used the manual focus to make make the shape as clear as possible. i allowed light come through the lens by using the aperture. i made the shape the focus point of the image because the theme was maths. i took the photo at a mid range so you could then see the background and a good overall view.
These are my favorite images because I used a wide aperture of 1.8 to get the background blurred and get a shallow depth of field. I also like the way that I have focused on the math words.
I have chosen this photograph to be one of the best out of the whole photo shoot as I used the manual focus to my advantage to capture the different depth of fields and level’s of blurring in the background. Using a large aperture allowed a large amount of light to come through the lens. As I first glance my eyes are drawn towards the focal point in the center where the detail has been maintained in the middle ground and gradually fades away into the blur in the background.
These are all the photos I took during my shoot. When I took the photos I used manual focus.
These are the best photos from my shoot. These are the best because, they are the most focused, aesthetically pleasing, and interesting.
I decided to edit 3 of the photos, to enhance the photo.

I really like this photo, because I like how the 3D triangle frames the view outside of the window. This photo is very aesthetically pleasing as all the background is out of focus, but the foreground is, and that what I like about the photo, mainly.
PHOTO TWO

I really like this photo, because I like the shape of the tables and the lines on the ground and how they cross.
In my collection, I focused on the non- conventional aspects of the theme ‘Mathematics’ and instead focused on capturing a range of different shapes and patterns within my work to create aesthetically pleasing photos. We used the manual focus setting on the camera to take this series of images to help improve our camera skills and techniques.
My Favorite Outcomes:
The reason why I think this image works so effectively is due to the aesthetically pleasing pattern created by the range of magazines. In addition, the vibrancy of the different tones all compliment each other. This photo was taken from a straight on angle and I captured it in natural lighting . Furthermore, the concept of the different rectangular and square shapes created links to the stimuli of ‘Mathematics’.
I particularly like this image due to the layout of the different posters next to each other. In addition, the plain, bright background allows the viewer to focus on the colorful posters as the main aspect in the image. The simplicity of this photo works effectively and it creates identical rectangular frames from the outlines of the posters, therefore linking to the mathematics theme.
An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture and focal length of an optical system determine the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16.
Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. Now your camera can only focus sharply at one point. But the transition from sharp to unsharp is gradual. The depth of field can be calculated based on focal length, distance to subject, the acceptable circle of confusion size, and aperture.

Favorite Outcome:
To create this image, I set my camera setting to AV and adjusted it to F stop setting 4. This is my favorite outcome out of my collection as it is an example of a shallow depth of field as it is focusing on the object as the main aspect in the image, drawing the viewers attention to the center. In addition, the object is portrayed as sharp and crisp and the dark tones of it also contributes to this.
White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo. Proper camera white balance has to take into account the color temperature of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.
In this photo shoot, we adjusted the color balance settings on the camera by putting the camera into full auto mode, then selecting WB and adjusting the different white balances. The different settings included auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, tungsten light, white fluorescent light and flash. The theme we were following for this particular set of images was ‘Science’.
