Assignment: "Two for One" Aug. 12 - Aug. 26

Photo #1



Full Automatic
Shutter Speed: 1/200
F/8.0
ISO 400

Photo#2



Manual
Shutter Speed: 1/100
F/5.6
ISO 200
Auto White Balance
RAW

I like Photo #2 because I wanted the main focus to be the purple tutu. It seems to stand out more than the Photo#1 which was taken in full automatic mode. In Photo #1, the dress was a little dark which made the background white fence stand out more, where, in the Photo #2, the dress was a bit lighter and there wasn't as strong as a contrast with the white fence, causing the purple tutu to stand out more.

<<[QUOTE=bmjesus;626554]Hi,

I've decided to change just the aperture, thus changing significantly the subject of the photography.
The large aperture in first photo unfocused most of the picture leaving only the larger snail on bottom right focused, making it the main subject.
The small aperture in the second photo increases the general depth of field in the photography giving more emphasis to the patterns and shape rather than the individual snail. >>>




I liked the first one. Cool line of shells

I like the 3 second shot better--how blue the sky turns and how the moon starts to look like a star.

This is my first assignment here and I'm a new photographer, still learning to deal with my camera.
I'm posting 4 pics and I'm accepting comments/suggestions to improve my work. =)

I have been visiting this web site for many months now, reading tips and articles and reviewing all the assignments. I bought my Olympus E510 nearly 2 years ago but still haven't mastered it yet. I always find an excuse not to post any of my efforts, usually because I don't pick up on the assignments until they are closed!

This assignment - "Two for One" - has been a real eye-opener to me. The effects of changing aperture or the focal point are fairly obvious, but the more subtle combined effect of changing aperture/exposure/ISO together is something I haven't tried. More surprising still is the effect of changing just the white balance.

This assignment has opened up a whole new world to me. I sometimes think I am getting further away from, rather than closer to, mastering this digital photography lark! Food for thought. A big thank you to all the contributors.
