Photography Homework

Fast Shutter Speed

The man surfing in the photo above is an example of a fast shutter speed photograph. This photo is an example of fast shutter speed because you can see the water splashing against the surfboard and the waves moving clearly and sharp. It almost feels as if you are about to touch the water because it is so clean. Faster shutter speeds capture moments the second they happen so it looks like the photo is more realistic. It makes it look more realistic because the shutter on the lens closes faster to get the moment in action.

Slow Shutter Speed

The waterfall photo above is an example of slow shutter speed. This photo is an example of slow shutter speed because the photo was taken while it was still moving. The slower the shutter speed, the harder it is to capture the water the second it moves because the shutter on the lens closes slower when you take the photo so it is harder to get the moment in action.

 Wide Depth of Field

This is an example of a wide depth of field because you can see everything in the photo, the sides, background and road drawn down the middle. Nothing is blurred out and every thing can be seen clearly. 

Shallow Depth of Field

This is an example of a shallow depth of field photograph because you can only see the blurred out background and the focus is on the dandelion. It also is a shallow depth of field because it is only the background and the dandelion.
