Week 4 task

F-stop low. I that F-stop for this image because I wanted to make the focus purely on Oliver in the image, to make sure that that’s what people would focus on when looking at the image.

F-stop medium. This is the image has a middle ground in terms of F-stop. This means that the focus is still entirely on Oliver but in the background you can start to make out different people and objects. I wanted to do this to compare and contrast the difference between the three photos I took with Oliver in this position.

F-stop high. This image captures Oliver still but the writing on the shop behind is now readable and the people are a lot clearer. This has quite a contrast to the first image where you can’t make out the shop or people in the background at all. There’s still quite a difference to the second picture where you can’t make out the writing on the shop.

I personally think the first photo in F-stop low is the best one. In the others it doesn’t look quite as good and the focus on the first photo on Oliver’s better than the others. The background itself isn’t that interesting so you don’t miss out on much when you put F-stop on low.

Extra Credit

This photograph, whilst not the most interesting in the world, has three different objects in focus. I took this picture whilst the F-stop was on medium meaning that you can make out clearly what the three objects are and read any lettering on them.

Similarly to the previous photograph, this image has all three people in focus and the background out of focus, drawing your eye to the three people. This picture was taken in low F-stop instead of medium F-stop like the previous picture.

This picture contrasts to the two previous as one person in the foreground is in focus but you can still see someone in the background despite them being out of focus and blurry. This was taken with a low F-stop.
