Same with these with the added element in that the water was moving, giving it a blur! Bonus points for these, the use of water in the background was an excellent idea, and the composition and subject are wonderful too. Widest aperture (lowest number) on the first with the fastest shutter giving the least amount of motion to the water, followed by medium blur both for depth of field and for shutter speed, and in the last photo, the lens stayed open longer to compensate for the narrow aperture opening (f/22) giving that wonderful motion blur to the water. I'm really impressed with these (as you can tell), really thinking outside of the box and making the assignment multi-dimentional. I wish I had thought of it!
And again, widest aperture on the first -- note the vine going down the right side in the photo progression. Blurred, somewhat blurred and in focus in the last photo. Nice job, especially with such a narrow depth of field.

I'm really digging the use of water too!
ReplyDeleteI already posted this but it disappeared. The internet gremlins are out in full force tonight, apparently!
ReplyDeleteRachel, I'm glad to hear (read?) you say that you're digging the use of water, because our next lesson's assignment is about -- you guessed it -- photographing running water! Look for it tomorrow!
And I'm really digging those water shots, too. I keep looking at them; they're striking. And it makes me push myself to think outside of the box as far as my own photography -- it added an entirely other layer of depth, and how can I add another layer to my work? I love it!
