Photography Project #4 ( Landscape photography)

Landscape photography

Lake Parker Park offers wonderful landscape photography opportunities. I wasn't able to venture deeper into the park due to rain, but I did capture some beautiful images. I used an f-stop number of 1/8 to 1/10 and set the shutter speed to a fast 1/320 to capture any water movement or birds in flight. However, I wasn’t fortunate enough to photograph any flying birds. As usual, I kept my ISO on automatic.

During post-processing, I began by cropping the images to refine their composition. I then applied some presets to give most of the images a gloomy feel, except for one. For that particular image, I chose to make it brighter and more colorful. It's a bit exaggerated, but the idea was to add some interest, especially since the image contains a lot of negative space.

Also known as light graffiti or light drawing, the technique behind it is to use a long exposure time, giving the photographer plenty of time to paint the scene using a light source, usually a torch. What You Will Need: A camera with manual mode. You should be able to control the shutter speed and aperture. A tripod to ensure the camera stays still while capturing the exposure.

The Process: Mount your camera on the tripod. Set the camera to manual mode and select a long exposure time; it's best to start at 30s. You should adjust the aperture based on the ambient light. A good starting point is between...

Creativity #4

  WEEK 4: CREATIVITY  Light Painting For this week's creativity blog, I decided to delve into the world of light painting. While the outcomes were satisfactory, they indicated that I need to further hone my framing and movement skills. Nonetheless, I'm pleased with the results. Process : I mounted my camera on a tripod and manually focused on the area where I intended to execute the light painting. I minimized all ambient lighting as much as possible. I set my ISO to 100, the shutter speed to 6 seconds, and the aperture to f/9. To avoid any camera shake from pressing the capture button, I set a 10-second timer. With the shutter open, I began my light painting. Here are the results :

Composition Exercise

 Best Composed Shot I took a series of photographs of this plant; definitely around 30 shots; I tried to get some nice close-ups while testing and getting accustomed to a new camera flash I bought. I kept this particular one because it's the most focused and well-composed one in the series.
