In the week 4 workshop, we were taught about aperture (F-stop) and how a lower F-stop setting allows more light in, however, that means less of your image is in focus. Whilst on the other hand, a higher F-stop setting means you get less light, but more of your image is in focus.
Before today’s workshop I never knew what F-stop was and how you could change it on your phone, but we got a chance to get used to this new setting as we had the chance to take some photographs outside.
I took a variety of images but for some of my images I could not tell a difference in my images after altering the F-stop setting and I am not quite sure why. However, on some other images, I was clearly able to see the difference between the three images and how the respective F-stop setting affected the final product.
There was also an extra task for extra credit that I attempted but am unsure about how successful my execution was. I feel like I got a decent shot of a subject in the foreground whilst ensuring the background was more blurred to ensure the subject at the front stood out. However, for the other task of getting three objects on a flat surface in sharp focus I struggled as I was unsure what objects would be best and most appropriate for the shot.
