SEMESTER ONE Semester one’s work consisted of us taking photographs using different tech- niques and learning how to use our cameras to our advantage for those perfect shots.. As well as learning about lighting, lenses, aperture, shutter speed and special techniques, we were also taught about layout, typography and composition which means that this piece of work is a chance to experiment with those skills and also a chance to show off my favourite shots from this project.
Lighting can be either natural or artificial. The first of these pictures was taken in the daylight using no flash and with f/4 to get in plenty of the sun. The second was taken at twiglight with extra lighting from car headlights in the background.
LIGHTING AND SHUTTER SPEED These photographs both get their effect from a long shutter speed. I used a tripod for both and set my shutter speed to 1 second. The effect is that the movement in the frame becomes blurred and gives an energy to the image that I really like.
