Final Portfolio

Project 4 Depth of Field

Depth of Field


This photograph was taken around Christmas time. I tried to get my camera to focus on the ornaments in the back. I printed it using F8 with a 2 and 1/2 filter for 8 seconds.


This was taken using a photography light and black cloth. I focused my camera on the closest nesting doll for a shallow depth of field. I printed this using F11 and 7 seconds. I used a 3 filter. 

Project 3 Motion


Motion



I took a picture of my subject standing completely still with only her head moving from side to side. This created a blur. I had to test this using a digital camera first to get the aperture and shutter speed exactly how I wanted them for the photograph to be properly exposed. When printing, I was on F8 with a six to seven second exposure. I used a 3 filter.


The individual photographs were taken by my film camera set on the dashboard as the car went over bumps. Each one ended up looking like a figure so I made it into a diptych. I printed both using F11 with six seconds and a 3 filter.

Project 4 Pre-work: Depth of Field and Abstraction

Abstraction

Abstraction is dealing with more conceptual ideas than specific events. It can also be freedom from representational qualities in art. Abstract photography seeks to break away from traditional representation of physical objects. It explores the relationships of forms and colors.

In these two images, I think the photographer did use depth of field to help with the abstract quality of the image. In the first photograph, the focus is on the forks in the water and the background is out of focus. In the second photograph the swirls of color are the focus. The swirls look like smoke although it is hard to tell. It is more a picture of a shape and color than a discernible, physical, object.
