Me and my group decided to use loads of different sheets of coloured see through plastic and hold it over the spotlight in the studio to therefore change the colour of the light, we did a photoshoot experimenting with each of the different colours to then discover what our favourite was.

This was pink.

This was Purple.

This was blue.

This was Red.

We decided that red was our favourite colour and took our best photos using the red light, here’s them unedited.

we did a experiment with the ISO (sensitivity to light) using paper as our subject, we used a range of ISO’s to be able to clearly see a difference between the photos.

This photo has a low ISO, we also used a dark see through piece of plastic to give us a brownish tint to the photo which we did for these next two photos as well as we found it to be aesthetically pleasing.

This photo has a medium ISO, you can clearly see the subject

This photo has a high ISO, this has caused the subject to become overexposed

This photo we decided to put a red see through plastic sheet half over the spotlight, leaving half of the light how it was and the other half red, this gave us a really unique image

I really liked this photo and had the idea to try and make it look like the French flag so I went to experiment in light room and gave it a go, here is my outcome:

ISO is a sensitivity set by International Organization for Standardization, it is a number measurement of the cameras sensitivity to light.

A low ISO shows a lower sensitivity and a worse ability to take in light and a high ISO shows a higher sensitivity and a higher ability to take in light.

This photo which took from the internet shows a good example between a low and a high ISO and the in-between range.

Here are some photos me and my group took when trying out multiple ISO’s to see the difference between the range.

The first photo is a super low ISO of 100, photo two and three are a in-between range of moderately low and moderately high and the forth photo is the highest ISO of the four and is around ISO 800.

We took our photos in a already dark place, this being underneath a set of stairs with the only light in the area being the light going through the cracks in-between the stairs.

This photo was taken in the schools assembly hall and was taken with a super high ISO which caused the light to ruin the photos balance and over expose it, “ruining” the image.

The aperture is how much light is let into the camera.

It is in the iris of the lens.

Its measured in F/stops.

Depth of field is what’s in focus in front or behind the subject.

A high F/stop is f/16 – f/22

This is a photo I took on the website with a high aperture f/16, this has made it so everything is in focus.

Here is a photo of me with a low shutter speed, this makes it so me the main subject is the primary focus of the image and the background is blurred to make it so I pop/stand out.

Here is a photo i took where the shutter speed is super low and is not able to capture the image correctly due to loads of light being taken in, the photo is out of focus causing it to come out blurry to a point where its hard to distinguish what it is, its came out similar to a photo by Ralph Eugene Meatyard.

Meatyard made his living as an optician, born in 1925 and died in 1976. He was a member of the “Lexington camera club” and pursued his passion for photography outside the mainstream. He experimented with various strategies including multiple exposures, motion blur, and other methods of photographic abstraction. Two of his series are particularly concerned with focus and depth of field, both stretching the expressive potential of photography, film and cameras when looking with the ordinary world. Here are some of his photos from his no focus collection.

– No focus- Reducing groups of human figures to indistinct abstractions, the artist proposes an alternate notion to the traditional photographic portrait.
