Exposure Triangle v1

The rationale of the second assignment is "To understand the use aperture, shutter speed and ISO is the basic but essential skills in photography. It allows photographers to have more control over the exposure of their photographs."

We are required to capture 6 photos using straight photographic techniques:

Aperture:
1. Shallow depth‐of‐field ‐ Focus on foreground
2. Shallow depth‐of‐field ‐ Focus on background
3. Deep depth‐of‐field

Shutter Speed:
4. Freeze Action
5. Motion Blur
6. Panning

This week assignment, I went to the garden near my house, the overhead bridge of the CTE expressway and woodlands waterfront for the photo-shoot. Here's the photos for this week:

I find that this week assignment was quite challenging as I had to take lots and lots of shots to get something that is good. I must say that I feel so happy after I managed to get a good one for my swing freeze action after so many attempts! :) But I find that focus on background and motion blur is very challenging for me as I still failed after many many attempts! :(
