LO3- D1

I practiced using Shutter speed in an underground car park I needed a dark area so that I could shine a light round the subject so it looks good. I lowered the shutter speed to as low as it could go so it was slow this means that the shutter of the camera is slow and creates a longer exposure to light and increases the amount of light the camera takes in. When this is in effect and cars go by in the shot it creates a streamline in your photo so I'M going to the big "Y" near Rossington to create this streamline around the "Y". 

 This was one of my images I took of the big yellow "Y" that represents Yorkshire, I set up my tripod on this grass patch from the other side of the roundabout as this was a safe spot and the other side of the "Y" didn't allow me to capture the stream lines properly. Lowering the shutter speed allowed me to have the lights motion recorded and not the actual car, this image came out well and it was unique with the red streamline going front of the "Y". 

This image of the trains is a sharp image as it captures the industrial buildings in the back and the train station there was a bit of motion blur on the trains as well to create an olden effect to the image which was the goal and then it edits I will be putting noise on the image and increasing the grain to add on to that effect. This shot is also well lit so it allows you to see the whole image without any effects this gives a natural touch to the image. I Set up on the top of a multiple level car park this is where I put my tripod up and took it above the railing to capture the train station. The technique with this image was to get it sharp but not perfect as then it gives the olden effect which the edit would complement the sharpness and allowed me to get this nice clean image of the train station. 

In this image I have used perspective and lines as I have the footpath leading up to the statue and the perspective is slightly zoomed backwards as it adds this disorienting effect to the normal eye Hight view point. Naturally it got a bit darker so so this made the image less clear so I increased the sharpness of the image to make the photo a bit more clearer and then I can edit the photo in Lightroom to make it brighter and look naturally light. This shot came out focused and good as I set up the tripod on the path way where it was safe around. The technique came out perfect in this image with the lines leading up to the statue and everything was sharp and in focus. 

    In this shot I controlled aperture to allow the flower to stand out more in the photo. Controlling the aperture allowed me to get a super realistic and detailed photo of the flower, when controlling the aperture it made the background blurry making the flower seem even sharper. For this shot I didn't use a tripod as I had to lay down on the floor to get the shot, to make sure I got the shot I needed I would take a photo and then review it on the camera making sure that the photo is what I'm after and to see if I needed to take another after a couple shots I got the right photo of the flower without no unnecessary blur. 

Evaluating techniques

I used a high aperture to get the background blurry and to fully focus on the flower if I wanted to get everything in focus and not have a blurry background then I would lower the aperture to about f32 meaning that everything in shot will be in focus.

If I wanted to get a sharp image of the car then I would up the shutter speed so I would get a sharp focus on the car going past, it would do this because it will have a shorter exposure to the amount of light that will come into the camera when you have a higher shutter speed.

If I were to take a photo of a moving object in the day then the best technique would be to use a low shutter speed so that any movement and anything in shot is in focus and is sharp, I would also have an average aperture to create blur in things that are really far away from the camera this then creates a sense of depth of field within the photo.

If I were to take a photo of a moving object at night then the best technique would be to use a high shutter speed so you would get the streamline effect when cars or any other moving light goes through the shot.

Overall, a tripod helps at any time of day because you are able to get a steady camera meaning that you shot will be steady and then you can just adjust the focus on the camera to get the shot and you'll be saving time and won't have to mess around with the focus cause the camera will be in a single spot the whole time.
