In week 5, we were taught about ISO and Shutter Speed. This is extremely relevant for me in particular and my current plan for my assignment. As my project will include some sports photography elements. I will need to capture some images where a player is kicking a ball for example with no blur.
I had a brief idea what shutter speed was before the workshop but I had never heard of ISO before the workshop and how it can help an image’s brightness. This could be particularly applicable to me and my project if I choose to go to a night game and get images for my project when it is not daylight. For a night game, even if the floodlights are still on, being able to change the ISO on my images may still be necessary.
The extra credit task was based around doing more research into ISO and Shutter Speed which is handy because I was already planning to do some independent research into this area before I began to do my assignment anyway, in order to improve my understanding about these two settings.
I attempted to do the week 5 photos task but I was unsure about my final execution of the task so I will have to get feedback during my next workshop.
