Initially, I took three photos on the variety of f-stop settings but I could not notice any differences between the images. I am not sure why this happened and I need to learn why before I go out and take photos for my project but this led to me taking the photos you see now on this post.
The image above is on the lowest f stop setting as I wanted the subject (Dan Sewell) to be in the foreground and in focus with the buildings in the background to be blurred and this led to the image you see above.
The second photo was taken in portrait mode on the highest f-stop setting. This resulted in both the subject and the background being in focus and the difference in the image quality of the buildings in the background really highlights the difference the f-stop setting makes to the final product.
The third and final image was taken with the f-stop setting somewhere near the middle. I slightly lowered the f-stop setting resulting in a slightly blurred background that is not as harsh as the blur in picture 1, whilst still having a crisp focus on the subject in the foreground.
Extra Credit photo attempts
The first photo below is captured with three subjects in focus. However, I misread the task sheet and didn’t realise it had to be on a flat surface.
For the second extra credit image we had to capture a photo indoors where only the nearest object is in focus and I think this came out quite well as you can see the blurred subjects in the background whilst maintaining a clear focus on the subject in the foreground.
