David Hockney

Recently I have been looking at David Hockney's photography 
I really like David Hockney's photography I really like this one on the left -> 
It is like a photo collage technique he takes lots of photos from different angles. This gives it a kind of cubist feel, like you are viewing the face from different angles.

below I have attempted to create my own David Hockney.
I think it has went okay for a first attempt. 




Fishing and Photography

 Here are two photos I took when I was fishing a few weeks ago. I think the actually look okay considering that I took them on my phone. This is the original photo on the right I like it but I think that it is to long and there is to much sky
 I decided to crop the picture so there was not as much sky in it. Which I think works well. I then put a filter on it which makes the center more focused and the edges a little out of focus. after doing this i decided to enhance the colours and try and brighten the photo a little. I think the edited version looks a lot better tan the original photo. 
This is the other photo I took that day. The reason I took this photo is because I loved the reflection of the trees and clouds in the water. Another reason I took it was I loved the different colours in the sky and also the contrast between the orange rod and the blue and greens.  

Messing with Aperture,ISO and shutter speed

last week we were given cameras and told to take pictures with different aperture.The definition of aperture is - an opening, hole, or gap. In the photography world it is pretty much the same. Aperture is how wide or how narrow the shutters is. The wider it is the more light is let into the lens like image at the at he bottom and the narrower the shutter is the less light it let into the lens like the photo at the top. Through all the photos I took I had the iso - 200 an the the aperture f/8. 

In this picture the shutter speed was set to 1/320. this is a very slow shutter speed this is why it is dark. The reason for it being as dark is that the the shutter opens and closes so fast that there is not very much light let into the camera.





In this picture I have changed the shutter speed to 1/125 which sounds like a lot but it  only lighted the picture slightly
This middle picture is my favorite I think the lighting in this one works the best.The detail on the rusty bell and also on the bricks shows up lot better in this lighting  
  

I changed the shutter speed to 1/13 which is really really slow. This has drastically changed the amount of light that is in the photography










Here is another example of shutter speed changes



 Here is an other example of a slow shutter speed. in this photo it was at 1/6. I think it works relatively okay I like how the center of the plant is very detailed and and around the edges it is blurry and out of focus.

Here is an example of a quick shutter speed - 1/100.this is why it is a lot darker. I really like how This picture has came out. I like the dark green and vibrant red.
