Shutter speeds

The Art of Photography.

Project: Photograping movement.

Two images of the waterfall at Newstead Abbey to show the effect of shutter speed on an image. Both shot with Nikon D50 ISO200 70mm

First image 1/320 sec f/4 which almost freezes the motion showing individual droplets of water.

Second image 1/4 sec which is slow enough to start turning the motion into a milky flow.

Nikon D50 ISO200 35mm 25sec f/4.8

Using a slow shutter speed and a torch bulb to write with light.

Nikon D50 ISO200 32mm 8sec f/11

A church lit by the road traffic, in this case a single decker bus.

Focus at different apertures

The Art of Photography.

Project: Focus

Nikon D700 50mm ISO200 1/25 sec f/1.8

This aperture gives a very shallow depth of view, only a few books in the middle are in focus.

Nikon D700 50mm ISO200 1/3sec f/5.6

This aperture produces a wider depth of view so that more books are in focus.

Nikon D700 50mm ISO200 15sec f/22

This narrow aperture brings everything into focus.

Focus with a set aperture

Project: Focus.

Using a keyboard to show the effects of depth of field.

Nikon D700 ISO200 50mm fixed lens at f/2.2

Focus progresses from keys nearest the camera, the middle of the keyboard and finally the number pad and computer in the back ground.

Another shot of Heather from Sunday, my new LapTop wallpaper this one. Not a lot of work here. A crop and a rendered light effect, everything else almost SOOC.

Heather Burlesque

Had a good day at Brightlight Studio's in Draycott on Sunday at a Burlesque/Pin-up shoot. Shot a few sets with Heather and processed this image which just stood out. I am really enjoying black and white images at the moment and 1930 Burleque works so well in B&W.

No press please!

This is Sophie-Lee who we shot last year. I will be entering this at the next NOPS competition on Thursday night.

Emma in the spot light.

Emma was a lovely, shapely model I shot at a group shoot last September. She now has her own website at emma-daisy.moonfruit.com and can be found on Purestorm.com and Web-models.co.uk
