Unit 4 Activity 5










































The pictures above are the four pictures that I took that contain both solid and fluid forms. They show the different shutter speeds that I used depending on the way the subjects look.

Unit 4 Activity 4

The photographer that took this picture used a slow shutter speed because the background is blurred but the foreground is clear. Some difficulties while taking this picture could've been accidentally making the foreground blurry but the photographer definitely was able to accomplish the right shutter speed that he was going for.

Unit 4 Activity 3




These are the four photos that I took that display photographs taken using a faster than 1/250  shutter speed. There is no blur in these photos and I focused in very clearly on the main subject which was the flag. I tried really hard to make it so that there is no blur in the pictures.


These four photos are the photos that I took that display shutter speeds between 1/15 and 1/125. I panned the camera to be able to take these pictures and so the movement of the panning made the visual effect look better.  These photos also didn't turn out blurry because of the shutter speeds.

Unit 4 Activity 2












Photo by Kyle May

The photograph above was taken using a fast shutter speed. The photographer used a fast shutter speed to capture all of the glass pieces from the light bulb breaking apart. While taking this picture, the photographer could have had problems with trying to keep the picture from turning out blurry. He could have held the camera very still to take the picture or he most likely used a tripod so that the picture wouldn't turn out blurry. This photo definitely shows great depth of field because of the subject in the photograph. It also gives you a feeling a movement because the glass pieces are flying up into the air.

Unit 4 Activity 1


Photo by Henry Cartier-Bressen

This photograph here was one of the many unique photographs taken by the professional photographer Henry Cartier-Bressen. I chose this one to put on my blog because it shows the "decisive moment" very well. The man is standing in front of two lines of trees which helps to add composition such as leading lines in the photo. The trees behind the man add quality to the photo because it makes it more interesting and unique.
