Metering

Spot Metering

1/1250, F7.1, ISO400, 70mm

Multi-metering

1/320, F5.6, ISO320, 200mm

Center Metering

1/200, F5.6, ISO400, 300mm


Zoom

1', F18, ISO100, 35mm


1', F5.6, ISO400, 75mm


Sensor Latitude

High Key

1/60, F5.6, ISO100, 18mm

Class Critique:
- Not considered high key
- Should loose details i.e. clouds in the sky, due to (on purpose) overexposure
- Yet still be able to see the context of the photo

Low Key

1/8, F5.6, ISO400, 70mm

Class Critique:
- Not considered low key
- Not dark enough

*Note to self: high key and low key is not just about the histogram leaning on either side! It involves under/over exposing the photo.

Perspective

1/60, F3.5, ISO200, 18mm


1/60, F7.1, ISO400, 18mm


1/3200, F5.6, ISO400, 18mm

Class Critique:
- Very nice composition
- But in terms of technical aspect, there is a need to cut of more of the sky and move closer to the building to further elongate the building


Close Up

1/20, F5.6, ISO400, 300mm

Class Critique:
- 'Correct' close up photo
- Close up enough

Symbolic of the Sun

1/800, F5.6, ISO100, 140mm

Selection based on:
1) Fulfilling the technical aspect
2) Composition
3) Different angles to look at things (perspective)

Challenges/Thoughts/Lessons learnt:
1) Collecting a variety of photos. Based on previous assignment experiences, I tried to take things from different angles and attempt to have a wide variety of things. But it is super tedious having to travel around on a good (HOT) weather. Almost died!! But well it's pretty worth it. Managed to collect pretty good range of photos.
2) Zoom shots. Didn't managed to get them right till revisiting the techniques at a later stage. But after getting it, it is fun because it is using the camera to manipulate the image and lights instead of the usual photoshop-ing.
3) Concept development. This challenge is mostly referring to symbolic of the sun photo. Had been thinking of it since the assignment was released. Realised that concept is one thing and being to find and capture the image is another, in the case of straight photography.
4) High and low key shots. Had a misconception that it is all about the histogram and black/grey/white scale. Need to try out on over and underexposing things in a nice way....
