Natural Light Pair:
Natural Light - Shallow
This photograph shows shallow depth-of-field in natural light. The F-stop number was 8 and the shutter speed was 1/100. The focal point is the tree and the foreground is also the tree. The middle ground is the tree on the right side of the photo and the background is the building. As the F-stop # setting decreased, the camera only took the focal point in focus while made everything else blurry.
Natural Light - Deep
This photograph shows deep depth-of-field in natural light. The F-stop number was 25 and the shutter speed was 1/5. The focal point of this photo is everything. The foreground is the tree in the front of the photo, the middle ground is the tree in the right side and the background is the building. As the F-stop # setting increased, the camera captured everything in focus.
Artificial Light Pair:
Artificial Light - Shallow
This photograph shows shallow depth-of-field in artificial light. The F-stop number was 8 and the shutter speed was 1/100. The focal point of this photo are the cups. They are also the foreground of the photo. The middle ground is the computer and the background is the gatorade bottle and picture and tree outside. As the F-stop # setting decreased, the camera only took the focal point in focus while made everything else blurry.
F#25
Artificial Light - Deep
This photograph shows deep depth-of-field in artificial light. The F-stop number was 25 and the shutter speed was 1/4. The focal point of this photo is everything. The foreground is the cups, middle ground is the computer and the background is the gatorade and trees outside. As the F-stop # setting increased, the camera captured everything in focus.

Shallow Depth-of-Field
Bob Burnquist
This picture shows shallow depth-of-field. The Focal Point of this photograph are the small branches in the front, they are the main point in the picture. The big aperture setting makes the small branches in focus while the background loop is blurry. The small branches are the foreground while the skateboard loop is the background of the photo. There is no middle ground in the picture. I think the photographer chose to use shallow depth-of-field in this photo because he wanted to capture the details of the branch and let the background skateboard loop blurred.
Deep Depth-of-Field
Chris Lambert
This picture shows deep depth-of-field. The Focal Point of this photograph is everything. The small aperture setting makes everything in the photograph clear. The people are the foreground of the photo while the things behind them are the background. There is no middle ground in this picture. I think the photographer choose to use deep depth-of-field in this picture because he wanted to capture the whole setting.
Research
ReplyDeleteGood Depth-of-Field research included in your Visual Journal Blog. For each entry you correctly answered the required questions. Citations (photographer’s name and URL address) were appropriately provided for all entries.
Vocabulary
Overall, you consistently and correctly utilized the unit vocabulary taught during the class and documented in your assignment PDF on Moodle. Correctly utilizing new vocabulary is a very strong characteristic of a maturing artistic learner.
Vocabulary - Minor Problem
But we have one problem. In your Deep Depth-of-Field Research photograph you state there is no Focal Point. There is a Focal Point, that being the skateboarder. The photograph is all about the skateboarder. Although I cannot state, 100%, in almost every photograph there is a Focal Point. A Focal Point gives the photograph a story.
Camera Skills and Techniques
You did a great job at controlling your Aperture setting to capture Deep Depth-of-Field and Shallow Depth-of-Field pairs. Each pair has a clearly defined Focal Point. For your two Deep Depth-of-Field photographs, all grounds are in clear focus. For your Shallow Depth-of-Field photographs, only your Focal Point is in clear focus.
Software Skills and Techniques - Problem
Your Artificial Light photograph pair share the same Exposure Value (brightness, contrast, and color). But your Natural Light photograph pair does have the same Exposure Value (brightness, contrast, and color). But in both photographs, the overall images have a blue tint. As I showed you in class, you can apply a photo filter over an image to create a more natural looking color spectrum.
Preliminary Ideas from Research
Fantastic use of your researched to better your understanding of the unit. You took the step to becoming a stronger photographer because you are using what others have accomplished to enhance your understanding. You properly included the F-Stop and Shutter Speed for each individual photograph. You properly answered the required questions for your experimentation photograph pairs.
