I took this picture in front of Lowes Theaters in Georgetown. As a Bentley passed by, I snapped it in motion. My aperture was 20 and my shutter speed was 1/4. The ISO was 400. The slow shutter speed allowed me to capture the car as I saw it, in motion. I like this picture because the car takes up the entire foreground, yet you can still see elements of the roadway underneath it. I also liked how the Theaters building reflected another building.
Since I could not capture the exact same car in "still-mode," I resorted to snapping another car moments after I snapped the Bentley. However, the backdrop stayed the same. I depicted a moving car as a still object by using the following settings: An aperture of 5.6; a shutter speed of 1/100; and an ISO of 400. The faster shutter speed enabled my object to appear still even though it was in motion.
I took this picture in Dupont. I thought the flowers were beautiful and the little insect guy (I have no idea what kind of an insect that is...if you do, please let me know!) on the top-left was adorable. Flowers are usually good to show depth of field, so I thought I would use them for this assignment. Plus, we won't be seeing flowers in DC soon so I wanted to take advantage of "snapping" them up before late fall/early winter strikes!
I focused on the pink flower in the foreground, and as you can see both the stems in the foreground and the flowers towards the top of the picture are out of focus. To do this, I used an aperture of 5.6, a shutter speed of 1/2000, and an ISO of 400.
I also took this picture in Dupont. This picture reflects a greater depth of field. Everything is in focus! To accomplish that, I used an aperture of 18, a a shutter speed of 1/125, and and ISO of 400. Switching to a larger aperture number allowed me to keep all of the flowers and their stems in focus. (Hint: compare the background of this picture to that of the picture above it.)
