Task 3: The Camera

For this assignment, we were told to take multiple pictures in order to show that we know how to operate our cameras as well as to get used to handling them. In order to demonstrate this, we were told to take pictures that demonstrate:

  • Correct, Under, and Over Exposure
  • High ISO and Low ISO
  • The different White Balance Settings
  • Freezing Motion
  • Showing/Blurring Motion
  • A Shallow Depth of Field
  • A Deep Depth of Field
  • Different Angles of a subject

All the pictures that I took were taken with a Canon T5i with the 18-55mm kit lens. (While I took the pictures in RAW, I can’t upload the RAW files for some reason, therefore, the ones posted here will be in JPG.)

 Correct Exposure, Under Exposure, and Over Exposure

 

 

img_0234

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/800

Aperture: f/8

White Balance: Sunny

Focal Length: 55mm

This first shot and the one following it both demonstrate correct exposure.

 

img_0235

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/60

Aperture: f/22

White Balance: Sunny

Focal Length: 55mm

Correct exposure.

 

img_0236

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/60

Aperture: f/5.6

White Balance: Sunny

Focal Length: 55mm

 

This picture demonstrates over exposure. When pictures are over exposed like this one, they tend to get washed out, and in extreme cases, will be completely white to the point where you cannot distinguish any figures in the photo.

 

img_0237

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/500

Aperture: f/36

White Balance: Sunny

Focal Length: 55mm

 

This photo shows under exposure. When underexposed, pictures become dark and can even turn out completely black.

 

High ISO & Low ISO

When taking pictures with a low ISO, the picture comes out with no noise. With a high ISO there is usually a lot of noise (you can’t really see the grains in my high ISO picture).

White Balance Settings

The following photos show how your white balance setting affects the results of your photo. In each of the following photos, all the settings are the same except for the white balance. Since the effect is most apparent on white objects, I chose my white  sharpie holder to demonstrate.
