2.Getting more out of your camera


Task 1: Exposure


Low exposure:
Exposure is to show the amount of light that is collected into the camera.



High exposure:
Exposure is to show the amount of light that is collected into the camera.

Exposure that was just right:
Exposure is to show the amount of light that is collected into the camera.


The first image had a very low amount of exposure as we see there is minimal amounts of light collected as the functions do not mess up the image. The second picture had a very high amount of exposure on the camera and we could very much visualise that the effect had effected the image, this is because we see that the colour of the image had been affected as it became very fuzzy and the full colours were not shown properly as it had gone quite darker. The last image was what I thought had just the right amount of exposure in as the colours were fully in tact and the affect didn't really effect the image.




Task 2: Flash

Image with flash on
Image with the Flash off

An image of a persons face with the flash off

An image of the same person with the flash on



We see in the first image that the flash was on and it really effected the image as the reflection of the flash was shown on the object and this is not good because it ruins the image and it does not show the full object. The second picture was of an object but with the flash off and this was a good image because there was no reflections of a light shining on the image because the flash was off. The third image was of a persons face with the flash off and the fourth image was of the same persons face with the flash on and it once again effected the image as the reflection of the light was in his eyes and that again ruins the image.


Task 3: White balance




White Balance is when the camera removes the unrealistic colours 
As we see in all of the three images above, the white balance is different in every one. In the first image we can tell that the white balance had not been changed as the photo is normal and has the correct colours. In the second image we can visualise that the white balance had been changed a little as the colours have vaguely gone darker but the image is clearer. The last image we can obviously tell that the white balance was changed extremely as all the colour has gone from the image meaning it is just a very bright image with no objects to be visualised and we can tell that having a large amount of white balance chosen isn't very good as the colour mostly goes.

Task 4: ISO

Low ISO on 100

High ISO on 800

Low ISO on 100

High ISO on 800
 ISO is how the colours are exposed on the camera

The first image was of some stairs in a dark area as the lights were off and this was a good opportunity to show how the low ISO on 100 would not be good to use as it wouldn't show the full images colour so I showed this in the image as the ISO was on 100 and it was dark. The second image was of the same area of stairs however with the ISO put on the highest amount which was useful because it brightened up the scenery with the mode and it showed a good use of colour in the image. The third image was of some trees and buildings with the daylight and the ISO was on 100 and it didn't turn out very good as the colours in the image turned out very fuzzy and not to the fullest standards that the image could have, in contrast, the last image was of the same objects however with the ISO on the highest amount which was 800 and the image turned out quite well

Task 5: AutoFocus Mode




Auto Focus is the mode where the camera focuses on the part that the photographer would like and this may be because they want to show a main object.
In this task I didn't do too good as all the pictures are the same and it shouldn't be like that.

Task 6: Burst 






Burst is when the camera catches many images in a quick motion
These 8 images are all of the same person and I used the mode called Burst because I wanted to show the persons movement and this mode was useful as it captures many images in a quick motion.
