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
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.
ISO: 400
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: f/22
White Balance: Sunny
Focal Length: 55mm
Correct exposure.
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.
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).
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/500
Aperture: f/5.6
White Balance: Auto
Focal Length: 55mm

Shutter Speed: 1/2000
Aperture: f/36
White Balance: Auto
Focal Length: 55mm
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.
