Focus people... FOCUS....

So right. This next assignment is supposed to be about focal length, image sensors and the like (READ: Technical aspects of photography and cameras).

So... your mission if you choose to accept it.. is to take photos to show good understanding of focal length techniques and sensor latitudes. So sit tight and hold on, because awaaaaaay we go....

Perspective



Who / What: Goodie Bags

Where: Central Forum

How: Canon 1000D; 23mm; F/5.0; 1/100 sec

Why: Shows an "almost" never-ending row of goodie bags at the central forum

Zoom Shot



Who / What: Stained Glass

Where: My House

How: Canon 1000D; 55mm; ISO 200; F/32; 1.0 sec

Why: Shows the zooming in towards the butterfly. With the focus on the butterfly giving it a sort of awe-inspiring feel.

Close Up


Who / What: Flower from Cannonball Tree

Where: Tanglin Road

How: Canon 1000D; ISO 400, F 5.6, 1/250s, 208mm

Why: The shot was taken with a 55-250 zoom lens (doesn't look like it right?) which surprisingly allowed this shot to pass off as a macro. So why is it close up? well obviously the details in the flower are visible.


High Key



Who / What: Canon EOS 350

Where: My House

How:Canon 1000D; 50mm Prime; ISO 400; f1.8; 1/4 sec

Why: A very literal and over-exposed photo which shows obvious high-key traits, while still giving the impression that the camera is being viewed through fog.

Low Key


Who / What: Cranes in Wood

Where: My House

How: Canon 1000D, ISO 800, F 1.8, 1/20s, 50mm

Why: Wooden Cranes against a "nighttime" type of backdrop of plants takes a double-play meaning on the title and images presented.


Symbollic of the Sun



Who / What: Shades

Where: My House

How: Canon 1000D; 50mm Prime; F/1.8; 1/15 sec;

Why: Sunglasses are what people usually wear to protect themselves from the sun. a destroyed and worn out pair of sungalsses also would in some sense illustrate the damaging effects of the sun.
