Development Photos

Over the past few weeks I've been practising using different camera techniques hopefully so that I can implement some of them into my final panorama.

Shallow Depth of Field

To achieve these photos I had my aperture on a low setting. Because it was nice, bright day I was able to keep my shutter speed fast so they are crisp focus.

Shutter Speed

In these two pictures above I had to use a quick shutter speed to capture the birds in flight without them blurring. I really like the second one with the reflection as well as the elderly couple that bring a story to the picture.

This series of three pictures were taken at the Guild Hall in Worcester. I took a picture of one of the chandeliers and it came out blurred because I left the shutter open for too long accidentally. I then remembered what we'd done in class and thought it would be a great opportunity to try this technique out.

I have recently added this picture to the list. Its Steven Gerrard taking a corner kick at the Liverpool Vs Reading game I recently went too. I was quite pleased with the final result because I didn't have long to get the camera set up. Its a little bit too blurred though and out of focus. It would have looked better if I'd had a tripod and quickened the shutter speed slightly so it isn't so blurred.
