This document discusses various photographic concepts and terminology including shutter speed, ISO, aperture, depth of field, manual exposure, and the rule of thirds. It provides examples of how the photographer considered and applied these concepts in taking photos of rain drops, birds in flight, trees, squirrels, and a magpie. The photos were taken with different shutter speeds, ISO levels, f-stops/apertures to control lighting, focus, and draw the viewer's eye. Manual exposure allowed control over ISO, shutter speed and f-stop to achieve desired effects. The rule of thirds was also applied to position subjects on intersecting lines for visual impact.

2. Shutter Speed
• For this image I have made sure that I have took
the shutter speed into consideration I made the
shutter speed was 1/640 this allowed me to get
the rain drops falling into the water .By having a
high shutter speed that means that more
exposure time that the camera has to the light
.This allows the camera to capture faster moving
objects without any motion blur . Although by
doing this it meant that the ISO would need to
be higher since by the higher the shutter speed
the darker the image .Because of this I needed
to up the ISO to 6400 this is the highest ISO that
my camera can go up to .

3. Shutter Speed
• For this image I have also put a lot of
consideration into the use of shutter speed .But
unlike the last this time I have made a low
shutter speed this is will add some motion blur .
The concept of this image is a flock of gules
flying over a lake .I only meant to have the
image slightly blurring to show the speed of the
birds .But I have made the shutter speed to high
so it is too blurry .The shutter speed that I used
was 1/100 although it is not the lowest that it
can go it is still hard t control without a tripod to
hold the camera it will shake to much and the
background will have a blur effect too and not
just the objects that you wish to . Because the
shutter speed is only slightly lower than normal
I did not need to adjust the ISO.

4. Iso
• This is the adjustment of the Iso of the image .
The Iso is how sanative the camera can be when
In the light .The iso works by the lower the
number the darker the image the higher the
number the lighter the image . For example if it
is the same time of day at the same place if one
shot was 100 iso it would be a dark image and if
one shot was 800 iso it would be brighter .With
the image on the left it is where I have changed
the iso of the camera .This is an photo of some
braches and three which I have taken . The iso
of this particular photo is 800 iso although this
is usually classed as being a bright iso but
because I have upped the aperture the photo
got darker the aperture of this image is F/6.3

5. ISO
• Although the image was taken slightly lower
than the previous it has been taken at the same
location and the same time of day . On this
image I have upped the ISO so the brightness of
this image so it gives a lighter feel to the photo
.the ISO of this particular image is 3200
compared to the last one which is 800 it is a lot
brighter. I have made sure that the F stop of this
image remains the same as the pervious
one(which was F/6.3) so the only difference
would be the ISO

6. Aperture & Depth of Field
Aperture is the adjustment of light that passes
through a camera this is will affect the lighting of the
image as well as the depth of field . Depth of field is
how focus or unfocused the background is in an
photograph .an example of me using this is with the
following image . With the image to the right I have
took depth of field into consideration . I have made
the F stop f/6.3 this is a wide depth of field this made
it so the background behind the squirrel will be in
focus this will take some of the focus of the object
such as the squirrel so when taking a photo of a
signal object it is better to have a high aperture so
the object or animal etc. takes all the focus .

7. Aperture & Depth of Field
• Although this photo has been taken in a slightly
different location it still shares the same concept
with the previous image . Unlike the last with a
wide depth of field this one has a narrow depth
of field so less light is getting into the camera
this will make the background out of focus .the
F-stop of this photograph is much higher on this
image to the previous so the background is
almost completely out of focus . This works well
for this image because it allows the viewers to
focused on the animal a nothing else this can be
sometimes interrupted if the background is in
focus .

8. Manual Exposure
• Manual exposure is the control over all of the
techniques that the camera can used in order to
change how the photograph will turn out .
These include the ISO ,Sutter speed and F-stop .I
have done this with the photographs that I have
taken for example with the top image the ISO is
1600 ,the shutter speed is 1/125 and the F-stop
is F/5.6
• Another example is the image at the bottom
The ISO is 400 ,the shutter speed is 1/160 and
the F-stop is 6.3 these are some of the exposure
techniques that I have used in my photography

9. Rule of thirds
• The rule of thirds which is also known as the
rule of thumb . This is a guideline when taking
photographs the idea is that the part of the
image that you which for the viewer to focus on
should be on the integrating lines . I have
experimented with using this rule in my work
with the following images . For example with
the photograph of the squirrel to the right I
have made sure that its head is on the
integrating lines as well as the bottom of the
squirrel. By doing this it will attract the viewer
the particular part of the image , I have thought
about the rule of thirds on multiple photographs
anther example of me using it is with the picture
at the bottom of the magpie I have made sure
that all the integrating lines are positioned
around the bird so that it is positioned directly
in the centre .
