Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO

Shutter speed: changing the shutter speed changes the amount of time the lens is open. A slower shutter speed would give a more blurry picture, and a faster shutter speed would give a sharper picture.

Aperture: the amount of light let into the photo; it controls the depth of field in the picture. A lower aperture number produces a blurry background, and a higher aperture number produces a deeper depth of field.

ISO: the level of sensitivity of a camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive the photo will be to the light; the higher the ISO number, the more sensitive the photo will be to the light.

Animal Morphs

The guppy was bred by humans. It is a representation of the brutal artificial selection process that humans perform on animals in order to achieve a "cute" product. The beagle and the goat were not sexually attracted to each other, but humans forced the action. Quite unfortunate.

The eleroo can be found in the Afristralian plains. It consumes mainly vegetation. It is prey to many fast animals, because while it can hop quickly, its head is unnaturally heavy and slows it down.

Messing with the Camera

fast shutter speed: freeze motion

slow shutter speed: blurred motion

deep depth of field: sharper focus

shallow depth of field: blurred background

long exposure: light writing

slow shutter speed: blurred motion

shallow depth of field: blurred background

deep depth of field: sharper focus

Animal Critique

I particularly like the picture of this lion because it expresses a sensitive and graceful side of such a fierce animal. The look in this lion's eye is almost sad, as if it were watching death. It reminds me of the scene in The Lion King when Symba sees his father lying dead on the ground beneath him. The combination of such sensitivity in a usually fierce and dominant creature brings true beauty. This picture captures that beauty.

Elements of Design

Value: the degree of light and dark in a design.

Shape: two dimensional line grouped into two categories; geometric and organic.

a mark that spans a distance between two objects and can take various form. Implied line is not necessarily physically viewable but is the path a viewer takes from one point in the photo to another.

Texture: the degree of roughness or smoothness in objects.

Color: refers to specific hues shown on the color wheel. Complimentary colors can produce dull and neutral color; black and white can produce tints, shades, and tones.

Form: three dimensional object having volume. It is the illusion of 3D effects because of light and shading techniques.

Space: refers to feeling of depth or three dimensions. Primary object is referred to as positive space, the area around primary objects is referred to as negative space.
