For the last two weeks we have had photography inductions to get us used to the SLR cameras the college has. For this induction we had to bring a 'treasured item' to take pictures of, I chose the teddy bear I have had since I was 6 (Ted!).
In the Induction we learnt all about shutter speeds, aperture sizes, white balance, lighting and depth of field. Once we were taught about these technical terms on a camera we were told to take pictures of our items, here are the six favorite ones I took!
Here I used a wide aperture to get a small depth if field. I also used the cameras focus points to keep Ted in focus. Totoro looms in the background, waiting...always waiting.
Here I used a strong studio light on the left side of Ted to create some strong shadows on him.
I used a wide aperture and the camera's built in monochrome picture style to take this black and white photo. Ted is all alone. ;_;
I used a wide aperture to focus on the leaf in front of Ted, making him out of focus in the background.
I used a Narrow aperture here to get a lot of the foliage around Ted in focus. I also used a white balance suited for the cloudy weather outdoors.
Here I used a very slow shutter speed and shone a small blue LED all around Ted, the effect is a ghostly neon blur which looks really good!
I learnt quite a lot in these inductions, no doubt I will be utilizing these techniques for future projects.
