COMD 1340 D164 Spring 2020

#1：This is the example of motion blur. To shoot a motion blur photo, we need to set up a slow shutter speed such as 1/30 to 1/100 while the object is fast moving.And if we close to the object, it will appear blurrier.

#2:This is the example of shallow depth of field. We need to zoom in to close to the object for getting focus on it. And there need some distance between the object and the background to make the background shadow.

#3:

#4: Both two photo are the center composition which helps stand clear as a portrait. For Matthew Jordan Smith’s, he used front light. Foe Timothy Greenfield-Saunders’s, he used the light between front and right side. I think they both used diffused light because there is no sharp shadow.

1.
The shutter speed setting affects the way we capture motion. Motion blur is when the subject is in motion and when captured on camera there appears streaks of color/light or the subject becomes almost nonexistent. This can be done by having long exposure. Another factor that can influence motion blur is distance from the camera. In this photo, the subject is closer to the camera which makes it appear blurrier as well.

2.
Factors that can affect depth of field are the focal length, the distance from the subject to the camera and Aperture. In this photo by getting close to the subject which are the fruit, I focused on the red apple closest to the camera. The surrounding fruits become out of focus the farther away from the camera they are.

4. In both photographs of Samuel Jackson, the angle seems to be at eye level. He is positioned face forward to the camera looking at us. In Matthew’s photo, it looks like front lighting so there aren’t much shadows on his face. Whereas in Timothy’s photo, it looks like Rembrandt lighting because the light appears onto partial of his face; 45 degrees. So there are some shadows created and a small triangle can be seen on his right side. In Timothy’s photo, he is much closer to the subject so we see more of Samuel Jackson and not the background. In Matthew’s photo, it feels like an equal balance between subject and background. In both photos, Samuel appears to be standing slightly off center, but not enough to be rule of thirds. So it makes me think of symmetry, and using the dominant eye technique.

1. for motion blur, i took this picture from inside the car while it was moving but i had to stay very still in order for my picture to not be distorted and also so that i can capture the cars moving outside. the yellow and red lights are fast moving cars coming from the opposite direction. important factors to capture motion blur are, shutter speed, lighting, and camera stability.

2. for shallow of depth, i photographed these flowers because the focus is on the flowers in the front it creates depth. Three main factors that will affect how you control the depth of field of your images are aperture, distance from the subject to the camera, and focal length of the lens on your camera.

4. the two pictures of Samuel Jackson are different in terms of lighting, styles, mood and expressions. the lighting in second one is coming from the right side which is creating a shadow in the left side of his face as compared to the first one which is black and white. the mood is different and that is caused by of course the style and lighting in the pictures but also the expressions and the attitude of Samuel Jackson which makes the both images very different from each other and creates a whole new mood for each.

1)

I set the Camera at 0″5 to get catch a nice smooth motion and also a special effect on the object where the object looks transparent. To get the shot, i rolled the object from left to right while the camera is capturing images.

2)

To get a nice blur in the background, I set the camera on portrait mode and I also used a macro lens.  The focus point was on the camera lens, making the background blurry; creating a nice shallow depth of field.

4) There are many differences between the two photos.  The photo on the left uses black and white to set an angry mood of the model.  The model presents a fierce and angry look and it is strengthen by his crossed arm and it goes well with the black and white setting.  The lighting was set at the front, and it gives more details and also a focus to his face.  His shoulders are tense and it doesn’t look like he is comfortable.
The photo on the right is very different.  There is color on this photo and its setting a nice calm mood.  To complement the mood, the photographer uses a soft light from the right, giving more depth of the model, the light also gives the model a smooth texture.  The model does not appear to be angry because of his body gesture.  His shoulder is lower, meaning he is calm and comfortable.  He is also holding his glasses and his belt, showing he is relax.

1.

For this motion blur, I used a toy car to create a motion of speed. To capture this, I had to stay as still as possible, so that the only blur seen was that of the moving car. Other parts of the photo would have come out blurry if I weren’t still, and would have ruined the motion blur.

2.

I angled my camera to control the depth and focused it on the front shell causing the back shell to become blurred creating shallow depth of field.

4. The two Samuel Jackson pictures are different visuals and have different techniques and styles. The first one of Jackson is a b&w picture with a different facial expression and attitude compared to the right. The light in both pictures is diffused and gives off some shadow in the first photograph. The second color picture is visual closer and becomes more personal to the viewer. The second picture follows the dominant eye technique.

1.  This is an example of an image motion blur. In photography it’s the purposeful streaking or blurring of an object in motion in a photo for visual effect. The technique is beautiful when capturing movement in a still image. What I did for the blur was taking a piece of tissue and waving back and forth as I remained still with my right hand and phone in hand, left the background for dramatic effect.

2.  An example of shallow depth of field. In photography a shallow depth of field means that only one part of the image will remain in focus. Your main subject will be in a sharp focus against an attractive blurry background. In this case I used the hand sanitizer as my main focus and everything behind it isn’t in focus at all creating my shallow depth of field.

3. Here are my global corrections

Exposure (+0.68), Contrast (-40), Shadows (+45), Whites (+89), Saturation (+21), and Texture (+39)

4. In these two images there’s a main focus which would obviously be Samuel L Jackson. However there is some similarities as well as some differences in both images. In both of these portraits you can see that both of their dominant side is towards they’re left ear which shows Short light where one side has more light than the other. Furthermore in the second image there’s an example of Rembrandt Light. In the second image it’s an example of also split light because it shows His face in two complete equal halves. The image on the left can possibly show a figure to ground just because of the black and white the background is lighter than the figure due to his clothes which shows a greater value and visual.
