assignment 3 (learning exposure stops and depth-of-view)

part 1 of this assignment is to try different stops of exposure in order to familiar with how dark or how bright a photo presents of each stops of exposure.

 

With a lower stop of exposure, a brighter a photo is. With a higher stop of exposure, a darker a photo is.

This the result of a "0" exposure! which is the proper exposure.

Part 2 is to learn two different types of depth-of-view. One is deep depth-of-view, one is shallow depth-of-view.

This is a photo shows a shallow depth-of-view, which is only a part of the frame is in focus, while the rest is rendered blurry.

This is a photo shows a deep depth-of-view, which is a larger area in focus, both fore and back area can be focused.

After finished this assignment, I can understand how a proper exposure is created. Also, I can take a picture of objects that I want to focus on by adjusting aperture to create shallow-depth-of-view. It is so much fun to do an assignment that is experimental. Thus it helps us to understand the fundamental theory of taking a picture!
