Blow Out and Panning


For the Panning the ISO was 125 and the appeture is F2.8 and the shutter speed is 1/13. Now for the blow out the ISO was 50 and the appeture F8 and the shutter speed is 1/6. You create the blow out effect by changing the ISO and the shutter speed and the appeture. I think that it is the best way to let more light in when its dark. You should change the appeture and the shutter speed. It should keep the dark colors and blur the lighter colors in the sunlight. I changed the ISO and the appeture and the shutter speed. Panning was very difficult because it would make the person blurry and not the background or sometimes the person would look like a ghost runing and it was hard in making our partner look as clear as possible.

Shutter Speed



Shutter speed what it does is that you can use this in the dark and you using a flash light or some sort of light that you can use to make yourselves seem inside a bright place. The shutter speed is that it is how long it lets the light in so the you can make figures or something surreal. It also allows you to show movement and lets in more light. We had to put our camera in the shutter speed and the ISO because the camera takes care of the appeture. It was hard in the beginning although it was very fun to do and easy and weird at the same time. The setting in the room was that it was as dark as possible. I would choose changing the ISO because that is what lets more light into the camera and with more light you are able to see the movement. My favorite picture was with us having two heads and Brisa's head in the middle of everyone like a ghost.

Aperture


Apeture is the pupil of the camera. The pupil of the camera is how deep it can take a picture and how big the pupil is. Like in the first picture that is a very large depth that is because it took a picture of a lot of flowers. Like in the second picture it has had a small depth that is why it only took a picture of only one flower. Although when you have a large pupil then you have a small depth and when you have a small pupil then you have a large depth of feel. The hole in the first picture is big and the second picture the hole is small. In the first one the f-stop is small so the small f-stop is like a f-22 and the second one would be big so the biggest f-stop is f-2

ISO

Flash

ISO 50
ISO 400
ISO 800
ISO 5000
What ISO really does is that it refers to the film speed and it also captures the background light. It captures the background light and lets more light in so that you can see your background good and the flash actually makes your picture a lot more blurry. Whe I used the flash it made my background very blurry and you couldn't make out the lights and with the ISO you can see your background. Over the course of the pictures I can see that it makes this weird texture to all of my pictures and makes them more visible. I would actually rather use the ISO so that it makes my pictures a lot more brighter and lets more light in. You have to be very careful that your not letting in to much light or else it will make your pictures very bright and not able to see anything or make them blurry sometimes

Flash

The pros of using flash are that you add light to dim lit situations. Another pro wouold be that you freeze time, and it elimantes blur. The cons of using flash are that you distrub the subject. It creates ugly lightning sit spots and red eyes and it also darkens the background. Flash is good to use when you want to capture the light of the city. Flash is not a good idea when it is dark outside because it makes your background dark. This picture looks better without the flash on becasue you can capture the vivid colors in the background and the colors that the city has at night.

Surrealism "Under water City"


In my surrealism it was about a crazy dream that I had. It was as if I was floating in the water. As if I was looking at the world from the top as if I was trying to find out something. Like if I was trying to find out who I am and what is going wrong in my life. Trying to find a way out of my problems although I was stuck in this light bulb with no way out. As I was trying to find a solution to my problem and that is what I think its about. The city and me being under water was that I was drowning with how huge my problem was getting and trying to find out what to do. Me looking down at the city is that I am trying to find myself and a solution so that I can finally have some sort of peace
