Photo Shooting Experiment- With Hannah and Blair

Hey everyone,
Recently we were asked to go out and take some photos using different shutter speeds and f-stops. They did not have to turn out well as long as we learned something from the experience. My group had a some technical difficulties, but we were able to learn some interesting things.
Below are three photos that did not exactly turn out great, but we were able to learn from them.
This first photo is over exposed. One of two things could of occurred when taking this image. The image may of been exposed too long due to whatever shutter speed was chosen. To correct this, using a faster shutter speed would allow less light to come in. Another possibility was that the F/Stop let too much light in, over exposing it. One could remedy this, by choosing a more narrow aperture.


This photo was exposed for a good amount of time, but turned blurry. This may of happened for a few reasons. Either the photographer did not focus the image well enough before taking the photo or the depth of field may be too shallow. By not focusing or moving while the shot was being taken, the image blurred. Next time, the photographer could try standing very still and focus in on one part of the image to be captured. By playing with aperture settings, one may also change the depth of field.


This last photo was not under or over exposed. I think this picture has a shallow depth of field as the image looks very flat. To make the depth of field longer the photographer could have adjusted the F/stop (aperture). I think it would be interesting to see this image with a longer depth of field. Another thing that could be changed in this image is the composition. The scene itself is very interesting, but the fence is in the way of the action.

Comment below if you have any suggestions.
