FIN 247 Assignment 1 – Part 2

For part 2 of assignment 1, I found this beautiful tree trunk with vibrant green moss growing on it around Matheson Lake in Victoria. I set my camera to manual mode and played around with the settings until I was happy. I had issues with my photographs when set to a shutter speed of 1/100 and an f/stop of f/8 and the images weren’t turning out at all. I was using my canon rebel XSI with a lens of 18-55mm.

My ISO was set to 400 and set my shutter speed of 1/15 with an f/stop of f/5. This results were much more appropriate and I was happy with the way it turned out.

For part 2, I maintained my shutter speed of 1/15 and turned my f/stop up to f/7. This resulted in an under exposed image.

Part 3, I was aiming for an over exposed image. I changed my shutter speed to 1/6 and an f/stop of f/7. The tree trunk looks much brighter and a little over exposed.
