Camera Tasks

1.Lens and Focal length:

               ISO:160   F11   1/40   16mm
  • The person looks small
  • The background is wide
  • Both are very clear


           ISO:160   F11    1/50 35mm
  • A frame focus on a person clearly
  • The background is a little bit blur   


       ISO:160   F11   1/50   85mm
  • Cannot show the depth of view
  • More far away,More blur
  • The person in front of the camera is visibly


I would preferred the third one.A frame involves a person and view but it is mainly focus on the person. Sepreation is between the object and background.


2.Depth of field and selective focus:

         ISO:160   F22   1"   16mm

  • Shutter speed is too long 
  • cannot show people clearly


   ISO:160   F18   1/1.6   16mm
  • Lighting at the back is a little bit dark
  • Lighting at the front is brighter
  • People is shaking

The apertures get bigger than it take longer shutter speed.So,people are shaking because a shutter speed is too slow.Meanwhile,if an aperture is too small so it cannot takes a photo in apporicate exposure.
