Meh shutter speed, pretty high ISO (the day was dark) and a play around with aperture. I really didn't know what would suit the day. Of all the amateur photographers, I am admittedly the most amateur of the bunch.
But hey, learning this will be a process.
At the moment, I'm not really fussed about subject matter and getting it in the right composition. What I want is to understand the camera, starting with the key features of getting the perfect exposure (shutter speed, ISO and aperture) then move onto the nitty gritty.
Bicycle
I forgot the settings I had the camera on from my previous shoot but shutter speed = slow
ISO = high
aperture = wide
I actually quite like the effect. It reminds me of washed out photographs from the olden days.
shutter speed = standard
ISO = lower because there was some strong natural light
aperture = don't remember
(NOTE: these are most likely not the correct terms but that's how I understand it so I'll keep it as this for now. Also, I forgot the exact settings they were kept in which is why no numbers!)
Dogs
Cherry is the supermodel one, then there's Bobby, who seems to represent me well. I think you'll be able to tell which dog is which.
*smack!* get outta the way cherry, i wanna pat (even though cece is pointing a scary black box at us)
shutter speed = fast (my dogs are way too energetic)
ISO = a bit high
aperture = don't remember
Honestly cannot remember the settings for the rest of these pictures, I was too busy laughing at the dogs. Just know that it was a very blue-y, dark kind of day. To be honest, this photo and the one below look pretty nasty. Gross exposure, especially since it doesn't capture the nice coats they have. Maybe if I was capturing a different scene it would suit?
Pfft, what a poser.
Ahhhh, they're so cute!
So that was some of the results from my first experiment. Let's hope I get better at this, hey?
One day I will not need a process diary anymore. Until then...
Over and out
