Assignment 1- Revealing Eye of Digital Photography

"This is who I am"
(Self portrait 1)

Model: NIKON D80

Shutter Speed: 1 sec.

F Number: F/4.2

Focal Length: 31mm

ISO Speed: ISO-400

Image size: 640x480

Description: This shot is taken from a high angle in order to capture the whole idea of my self portrait, which is reading magazine as my favourite past time. The sofa, cushion and chair (with reflection on the floor) gives a more homely and classy feel. The light shines from a perfect angle to focus the main subjects in the photo, projecting a comfortable and quiet ambience.

(Self portrait 2)
Model: NIKON D80
Shutter Speed: 1 sec.
F Number: F/4.2
Focal Length: 31mm
ISO Speed: ISO-400
Image size: 640x480

Description: This photo is taken to express my love for fashion by displaying myself amongst heels and clothes. However, I feel that I did not achieve the colour contrast effect on the overall look as the photo looks dull with majority of the shades in black and grey.

"Extraordinary out of The Ordinary"

(Exterior architecture- Day shot)

Model: NIKON D80
Shutter Speed: 1/6 sec.
F Number: F/3.6
Focal Length: 18mm
ISO Speed: ISO-400
Image size: 640x480

Description: The blue skies compliments perfectly with the white church architecture and bright light focuses on the details of the building. I took this shot standing in the middle and very close to the buiding but the angle makes it look extraordinary.

(Exterior architecture- Night shot)
Model: NIKON D80
Shutter Speed: 1/6 sec.
F Number: F/3.5
Focal Length: 18mm
ISO Speed: ISO-400
Image size: 640x480

Description: I did not manage to capture an angle exact to the day shot. I feel that the photo could have been better if it was taken at an earlier time because the pitch black background is not appealing. The architecture did not look as huge as the day shot as I stood further back.

(Interior Architecture- Day shot)
Model: NIKON D80
Shutter Speed: 1/6 sec.
F Number: F/3.5
Focal Length: 18mm
ISO Speed: ISO-400
Image size: 640x480

Description: The sun light shines into the building and creates a leading line, showing the angle of light into the building in the daytime. The main idea of placing the camera at such an angle is to display the clear reflections on the glass table.

(Interior Architecture- Night shot)

Model: NIKON D80
Shutter Speed: 1/6 sec.
F Number: F/3.5
Focal Length: 18mm
ISO Speed: ISO-400
Image size: 640x480

Description: The reflection on the glass is not as prominent at night due to the lack of light shining into the building. The light behind the middle furniture creates a silhouette to enhance the carving patterns.
