Summary of Carousel Week 5 Photography

On Tuesday the 10th of October for week 5 of the carousel we were in a photography workshop.
We covered two processes of photography, taking photos with different shutter speeds and taking photos with different apertures.

We gathered evidence in two different ways
Our Primary evidence was us going out in small groups and taking photos using different shutter speeds and aperture settings. In the first session we were to take pictures capturing movement for example capturing falling leaves or people jumping, even Alice in her wheelchair moving. The effect caused was a blur when using a low shutter-speed and with a high shutter-speed the image was crisp.
In the second session we were tasked with changing our aperture size and taking photos in the garden by the college. The larger the aperture, the more light goes through and the less in-focus everything is in whilst with a smaller aperture more of the subject is in focus.

The method of changing the aperture and shutter-speed is by first turning the mode dial to the S (for shutter speed) and then turning the main command dial on the camera to change the speed of the shutter and to then press the shutter release to take the photo.
The method of changing the aperture is similar but rather than having the mode dial on S it is rather set to A.

The camera used was a Nikon D3200.
