All pictures were taken outside opposite the Lesley Silver building on Leeds Beckett city campus. The model (Seven Tyler) I used for these photos was positioned on the Anchor outside the Dry Dock pub shown in the background taking the form of a ship. For this image using my iPhone I used the minimum available f-stop of 1.4. As you can see the model is in sharp focus and the ship in the background is blurred, I was also instructed by the phone to move closer to the subject for a more focused shot.
In this candid image I took a few more steps back and adjusted the f-stop to a medium rage of 7.1 and as you can see the ship representing the Dry Dock in the background is in sharper focus than before. However, the model is still the main element of the shot remaining in the sharpest focus.
In this image I set the f-stop to its maximum setting of 16. Its evident in this photo that the background as well as the entire image is very clear and sharp in focus, again I took a further few steps back in order to capture the cleanest shot.
Extra Credit Task.
Using the f-stop setting the same way I learnt in the first part of this task, I lined up 3 brand new identical deodorant cans and took a up close shot whilst laying down attempting to capture all three objects with the camera set at its maximum f-stop stetting of 16.
Similarly to the first shot that I captured, whilst laying down I took another close up shot of the 3 infamous LYNX Africa deodorant cans, only this time honing in on the closest object and attempting to blur the further subjects. I accomplished this by reducing the f-stop setting on my camera to its minimum setting of 1.4.
