Exposed!

Ok. So we're moving on now to the next level - playing around with Apeture and Shutter Speed.

Since Apeture determines Depth of Field, this most probably means we're working on the different depths of field. *ding ding ding give that man a prize!* And since shutter speed determines how fast / slow the shutter opens / closes, it determines how fast we can capture something without looking blur (and not to mention without cheating using a flash). so with that out of the way.... hang tight cos awaaaaaay we go...

Shallow Depth of Field


Who / What: Dining Chair

Where: my house

How: Canon 1000D 50mm Prime; ISO 400; F/1.8; 1/25 sec

Why: Its the only object in focus, when compared to all the other chairs in the background which are totally blurred out.

Deep Depth of Field



Who / What: Fire Hydrant

Where: outside my house

How: Canon 1000D 50mm Prime; ISO 400; F/22; 1/8 sec

Why: Pretty much the entire picture is in focus, but the focus of the picture (no pun intended) is the fire hydrant. Part of that is due to the colour, because it most definitely stands out amidst everything else.

Freeze Motion



Who / What: Hot & Cold

Where: YIH & Chinese Library

How: Canon 1000D ISO 250, F 4.0, 1/400s, 28mm

Why: This is one of those fans from the air cons, which as most people know, constantly is in motion. So by right what you'd usually get is like a white circle, but since there's freeze motion, you can *almost* distinctly see the blades.

Motion Blur



Who / What: Chasing Cars

Where: bus stop at Orchard Boulevard, opposite Orchard MRT

How: Canon 1000D 50mm Prime; ISO 400; F/22; 1/5

Why: The bus stop is just a little after the traffic light, so the cars will definitely be moving very fast because of the acceleration. The slow shutter speed manages to catch one car entering and another exiting.
